How To Choose Eye Shadow Color

Your eyes are the windows to your soul. Make them come alive with a touch of shadow on the lids. Don't choose a color just because you like it, choose colors that go well with your skin tone and on special occasions you can match your eyeshadow with your clothes.

Instructions

1. • 1
     Shop for shades that complement your skin and eye color. Look for colors that softly contrast with the shade of your eyes - not colors that match them exactly.
   • 2
     Choose simple, natural shades. If you opt for bright or trendy colors, be careful; they can look unnatural unless balanced with other suitable tones, and may go out of style as fast as they came in.
   • 3
     Buy colors that blend well together. You want your eyes to attract the attention, not any marked lines caused by your shadow.
   • 4
     Keep in mind that dark colors will minimize your eyes, while light shades will make them stand out.
   • 5
     Consider soft browns and tans with sandy or pink undertones for blue eyes.
   • 6
     Wear khaki and brown shades with yellow undertones for green eyes.
   • 7
     Accent dark brown and black eyes with brown and charcoal shadows.
   • 8
     Experiment. Head to a department store's cosmetic counter and have your eyes made up by a professional. Ask for color combinations that could work for day and evening.
