Choosing Eyeshadow Colors
There are two things to consider when you are choosing eyeshadow colors: your eye color and your skin tone. With the right eyeshadow color your eye color will stand out.For whatever reason people believe you should match the eye shadow to your eye color. That is wrong! What will happen is it will compete with your eye color and the eyeshadow will usually be more dominant. You don't want people to notice your eyeshadow; you want them to notice you!
According to Makeup Artist Robert Jones, the following chart will help you select colors that are the best for your eye color (Jones, 62).
* Blue: Rich warm browns, warm taupes and soft peaches
* Green and Hazel: Golden browns, warm taupes, deep purples, soft peaches and soft violets.
* Grey: Charcoal, cool brown and purple.
* Brown: Knock yourself out...you lucky women get to wear any color you want!
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 to 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.
