| 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
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.
Tips & Warnings
*
A little color goes a long way. Begin with a little shadow, and gradually increase it to find the amount that flatters you the most.
*
Shadow can look a lot darker in its palette, so don't let color intensity keep you from trying a shade you like.
*
If you experiment with bright shadows, use them as a wash over the eyelids to add a hint of color.
*
Shadow may irritate your eyes, especially if you wear contact lenses. Tap excess powder from the applicator before applying.
