When you are picking colors for your skin tone, stick with natural, subtle colors.
If you have a fair complexion, it is best to stay away from dark colors. For dark skinned women, you should stay away from white or light colors; look for eyeshadows that are deep with color.
Choosing the best eyeshadow for your skin tone and eye color will help your eyes stand out. It makes the whites of the eyes appear "whiter," causing the iris color to "pop." I'm not saying you have to stick with these colors for the rest of your life, I know we all need a little variety. But these are the best colors for you on the days you really want to look your best.
GREEN EYES
Choosing the eye shadow
Try all shades of brown, especially the chocolate one. Brown and dark-green tones with coppers and gold shades work great for green eyes.
Peach-toned and grey eye shadows will look good as foundation for deeper and darker hues.
Dark-violets, plums and metallics will look nice on green eyes. Copper and gold shadows will be ideal for an evening out.
Big No for green eyes
Stay away from blues. Any tone of blue will make green eyes look bad.
Pink is not a very good option for green eyes. The problem is that some pinks look marvelous with green eyes while others are terrible. Only trying them for yourself can determine which shade of pink is good for you.
Silver tones which look fabulous on blue eyes do look horrible on green eyes.
The color of an eyeliner
Black eyeliner is not the most appropriate choice if only you don’t love it so much that can’t refuse using it anyway. Instead of black try grey or chocolate eyeliner. To make your eyes pop apply white or gold eyeliner.
Generally speaking, when you choose the colors for eye makeup opt for warmer tones rather than old ones.
A sample makeup technique
BLUE EYES
Tones perfect for blue eyes
Some tones seem to have been specially created for blue eyes. They are: pale pinks, silver, gold and purple. Besides, blue eyes are flattered with taupe, pearl and violet hues, lavender in particular.
To create a bright look try bright blue shadows. This advice might seem strange as many people say blue shadows for blue eyes is a big no, but dark-blue shadows make blue eyes even more expressive. Try it and you’ll be surprised with the result!
Navy and turquoise shadows do also look good, especially for blue-grey eyes. Bright pink and fuchsia tones will also accentuate how deep and attractive your eyes are.
Those who like experimenting can try charcoal shadows in combination with other tones. Smokey eyes look great on everybody, this makeup technique will never be a failure.
How to apply the shadows
When you have chosen the right shadows start applying them. My advice will be especially useful for young girls who aren’t good at doing the makeup yet.
This procedure is just one of possible versions of applying eye makeup.
1.Apply silver shadows all over your eyelid, up to the brow.
2.Apply lavender shadows on the area from the line of your lash growth to the crease. Smudge the tones to avoid the line of distinction between them.
3.Apply violet shadow in a V-shape moving to the outer corner of the eye. Smudge thoroughly. The transition from one shadow to another should be unnoticed and natural-looking.
4.Emphasize the eye with a charcoal or black eye pencil.
5.Mascara your lashes.
Feel free to use pale pink, pale or dark turquoise, gold and pearl, grey and bright blue, emerald and even red. Don’t be afraid to experiment! Blue eyes look well with almost any shadows.
GREY EYES
So many women have beautiful grey eyes and choosing the right makeup for them is not difficult. But of course there are some important details you might not know about.
When selecting the pallete for your shadows take into account your skin color type and think of the effect you want to achieve. So, if you are a warm type and you wish to accentuate your eyes your choice should be limited to golden, bronze, and sand colors. In case you want to focus on the complexion opt for shadows and eyeliners of cold tones: green, turquoiuse, blue, aqua, violet and rosy.
If you are a cold type and your goal is to highlight your eyes choose shadows and eyeliners of a cold green or violet pallette. Shade the shadows thoroghly. The ultimate color should be soft and subdued. To flatter the complexion warm tones will work best: pink-beige, light brown, light violet and cream-colored.
How to flatter your eyes with various shades:
•To make grey eyes look ideal grey use silver shadows with metallic sparkle. Dark-blue tints will give the same effect.
•To create the effect of darker grey eyes apply shadows of a light-grey color.
•To add blue hue to grey eyes opt for golden, bronze, sand, orange and yellow shadows. Apply those to the upper lid and then shade them thoroghly. After that use blue eyeliner or blue shadows on the lower lid in a thin line along the lash growth. Coal black and dark-blue mascara will also make your eyes look blue.
•To achive a greenish or turquoise tone of your eyes try indigo, cossack green and chocolate shadows. Apply those to the upper lid and use green shadows or eyeliner along the growth of your lower lashes.
Which tones to avoid:
•To avoid making your eyes looking lifeless never use grey shadows of exactly your eyes’ color.
•Stay away from bright pink and bright orange tints of shadows – they will make your look inflamed.
