Want to help your eyes light up your face? With properly chosen colors, eye make-up makes your eyes magnetic and appealing.
Your eye color is accentuated best by colors in the same color family—for blue eyes, something bluish, for brown eyes something from beige to chocolate. Avoid shades brighter than your eye color, however, which tend to overpower the eye. To judge which colors will look best, hold shadow colors next to the eye in front of a mirror.
Eyes can sport a different color theme from foundation and blush as long as the eye theme matches the natural coloring of the eye itself. However, beware of using a warm eye color with skin tones that look better in cool colors. (Warm colors have yellow in them, while cool colors contain blue.) Sometimes a warm shadow that matches eye color does not look good on a yellow skin tone. The effect will appear “muddy-looking” and get darker over time.
Purple and lavender shadows look best on blue, or black/brown eyes. For other eye colors, purple tends to accentuate the red veins in the eyes. Over time, the eyes look tired and dull.
For eyeliner, select a color that matches the color of the outer rim of the iris. For instance, brown eyes with a navy or deep gray rim can wear brown shadow with navy or deep gray eyeliner.
Whatever your eye color, stay away from bright eye shadow... unless you are very young or happen to be aiming for a streetwalker look!
