I've always worn very natural neutral eyeshadow. Maybe something with a nonexistant hint of shimmer if I'm feeling sassy But I'm always buying those make up kits, mainly becasue I can't pass up a good deal, and for the lip gloss and nail polish So I've got a good 50 shades of eyeshadow...
I was thinking about maybe changing that up, using a bit of color on the eyes. Definatly not a Mimi Bobeck stylee, but a little color. So how do you choose what color? If you've a blue shirt on do you wear blue? I have no clue with it comes to "beauty"

If you've got brown eyes, then lilacs and purples will really compliment. If you have blue eyes, go for lots of browns.
And Blue eyeshadow is a no-no, on anyone/everyone. :thumb:
I think it depends actually. I often wear different makeup according to what im wearing, but not necessarily to match it iyswim.
and blue eyeshadow is awesome, done subtley. it's only when people get a touch of the pat butchers that it all goes to shit.
And i've got some bluey grey eyeshadow that is sooooo lush. But i can only use it when i have blue eyes. It looks shit when my eyes are green. Then i use brown/neutral colours.
no it's not.
and she can wear any colour eyeshadow she likes! i have brown eyes and i suit brown eyeshadows perfectly thank you.
I don't know what other colours would suit me to be honest.
At the moment I often mix bright pink and green. I hardly ever wear gold/brown because I dont think I suit them at all. I probably wouldn't wear blue either, flashbacks of when I thought blue eyeliner and mascara looked so cool...i did not look cool.
are: black, various shades of brown, light yellow, bright pink, light pink, dark green, silver, red.
I do it to suit my mood and my clothes. if its a really bright colour ill just use a little bit along the lash line otherwise it would look clowny.
And thanks :thumb:
What colour eyes do you have?
I am an eyeshadow fiend, I must have nearly every colour. My eyes are greeny brown, I find the best colour for me is a shimmery gold.
I saw some eyeshadow kits in Boots the other day, with three colours, one for blue, one for green and one for brown eyes, designed to bring out your natural eye colour.
Another thing you can do to add colour easily is use a coloured pencil eyeliner, under your eyes. I use a blue one sometimes.
The trouble is though it also depends on your skin tone I think too.
I have blue/green/grey eyes with brown in the middle. Sometimes my eyes are more green than others but pink really makes them stand out.
Gold doesn't suit me because its starts to look orangey against my skin as i'm pale.
my_name I say just practise or maybe even go down to a big shop and ask at the makeup counter.
The answer is always no
I've got all the eyeshadow I need... every color you could imagine, and no female friends and Ed says everything looks "fine, you know I hate when you ask those kinds of questions" and I hate asking people in stores. I nearly gave myself a heart attack trying to ask a stylist to reccomend me a anti-flyaway serum In the end ed had to finish up the question.
Though I should really look and see if they do make eyeshadow, Randomgirl, I bet it would be the best ;)
(Oh, and blue eyes, meduim brown hair and skin as white as your toilet)
I bet the answer isn't always no, i saw a picture of you in the photo thread once (before you removed it) and you look really cute.
What about trying different colours on each eye and see if you get a sense of which looks better then try that. If you arent sure stick with a subtle light colour. I like the effect of putting a darker shade of the colour along the socket line, that tends to suit everyone.
Good point though. Maybe I"ll wear the orange, or that dark teal :cool:... or probaly just a light pink or something... to show off my blandness
I've got loads of them
Love the green and proper bright pink ones. Yummy.
