Eyeshadow to go with purple lipstick?

Does anyone have any recommendations for an eyeshadow (especially MAC or Urban Decay) to go with purple lipstick? I have a wedding to go to in a fortnight and I'm planning on wearing Heroine (it's going to be a fairly laid-back and alternative event). Because of the shape of my eyes, I can't get away with wearing no eyeshadow at all (it just looks weird, like I got halfway through putting my makeup on and forgot to do the rest). I also find that a lot of my go-to neutrals (such as Natural Wilderness) look too brown with purple lipstick because I'm very fair-skinned. So, I'm looking for something pretty to wear as a sheer wash that doesn't look like I've decided to play with ALL THE MAKEUP ALL AT ONCE. Any suggestions, guys? Thanks. :flowers:

Try M.A.C's Wedge blended with Brulee. It's my favourite combo. Doesn't take much, if any, work. Then, since the base is plain, use a bright eyeliner to accentuate. I've been using M.A.C's Modern Twist Kajal Liner in Swamped. Adjust it to suit yourself. Mascara after!

Or try a flesh-toned shimmery pigment on top of the eyeshadow to really reflect light, plus some highlighter in the corners to up the ante.
