How to match eye shadow

Eyes are the window to the soul. And women's eyes, framed by fluffy eyelashes, are simply created in order to attract eyes and break hearts. However, incorrectly or inappropriately selected shadows can have the exact opposite effect. How not to stumble upon these pitfalls, you will learn in this article.

How to match eye shadow color

The most common mistake that every girl has stumbled upon at least once in her life is the wrong color of the eyeshadows, based only on the fact that it matches the clothes or just “likes it”. The same shade can expand and brighten the color of one girl's eyes, and reduce or widen the eyes of the other. Agree, this is not exactly the effect you wanted to achieve.

Although, of course, you should not go to extremes either: bright blue eye makeup with a coral red dress looks, to put it mildly, strange. There is only one conclusion - here, as in everything else, with regard to beauty and femininity, the same golden mean is needed.

Another problem of obviously youthful women who do not understand that every age has its own flavor and charm is sparkles or mother-of-pearl in their eyes. First, for shiny eyeshadows you need a really compelling excuse, like a new year. And secondly, even small mimic wrinkles will become much more noticeable with this makeup eye. Any experienced makeup artist knows that such shadows are used either pointwise, then they are able to open the eye and make it more expressive, or in photo shoots, where the light will be correctly set, in which such makeup favorably emphasize the advantages of the model.

If we are already talking about makeup artists, then let's figure out what they are based on when choosing makeup to match the color of a woman's eyes.

If you have done professional makeup at least once, you should have noticed that the master never uses only one eye shadow, creating a harmonious combination of several shades at once. To do this, make-up artists, like designers, keep a spectral color wheel at hand. Having chosen one color that is most suitable for a woman's color type, the master mentally draws an isosceles triangle or square (depending on the number of colors used) in order to select suitable additional shades.

Shadow for green eyes

It is rare to find the owner of bright green eyes. Most often these are chameleon eyes that change their color depending on the weather, lighting, body condition and even mood. But even suddenly becoming gray, the contour of the iris still remains greenish.

Emerald eyeliner, very fashionable this season, will emphasize it favorably.

As for the shadows, green-eyed girls should pay attention to the "autumn" shades: from gold and brown to coral or orange. not forgetting, of course, the combination with clothing, hair color and occasion.

Eyeshadow for blue eyes

For blue-eyed beauties, regardless of hair color, shadows of both black and lighter shades are suitable, incrementally: gray, blue, gray-blue and even white.

Shadow for brown eyes

Brown eye color is perhaps one of the most common. This is good: almost any shade of shadows can be combined with it, even those that are contraindicated for green or gray eyes. Honey-gold, brown, gray and even black "smokey ice". These women, when choosing eyeshadows, should focus more on the colors of their clothes and hair.

Shadow for blue eyes

Deep blue eyes are as rare as bright green. Although this deep shade is often confused with dark gray eye color. Indeed, with the right combination, gray eyes can add that missing color depth.

If we talk about unusual makeup, then brave girls can even use bright pink shades of shadows: almost everything is combined with gray eyes, as well as with gray shoes.

Shadows for black eyes

As a rule, the owners of black eyes are not blondes, even if the skin of such girls is fair enough. Undoubtedly, this is a striking type of appearance, therefore, the makeup of such eyes must be approached wisely, so that it emphasizes, and does not draw all attention to itself.

But as is the case with blue and green eyes, representatives of truly black eyes in our country are quite rare, usually girls from Asia or the near abroad. Most often, dark brown or dark blue (bluish black) eyes are called "black". Therefore, the makeup for them, respectively, is best suited the same as for blue and brown eyes.

Do not despair if your eyes suddenly do not suit your favorite, or simply the most suitable eye shadow color. You just need to use colored lenses to decorate your image with the upcoming event.
