How to Choose Eyeshadow Color Based on Eye Color

Wearing make-up tends to play a very important role in any woman's life. If you plan to wear eyeshadow, the best thing that you can do is choose eyeshadow that brings out your eye color. Here, we will take closer look at how to choose an eyeshadow color based on your eye color.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Eyeshadow colors to experiment with.
• Time and patience to experiment.

1. Have an Idea of What Eyeshadow Colors Look Best
   
   For blue eyes, lighter eyeshadow colors tend to bring the blue out the best. Colors such as light pink, light blue and white are all great options for people with blue eyes.
   
   For green eyes, shades that are darker and more dramatic tend to look the best. Plumb purple, dark browns and dark shades of gray are your best options.
   
   For brown eyes, earthy colors tend to look the best. Browns that are lighter or darker than your eye color, greens and pinks tend to be the best choices.

2. Try On Different Eyeshadow Colors
   
   One of the best things that you can do in order to determine what eyeshadow color will look the best is try on different eyeshadow colors. You may want to stick with the colors that look the best in combination with your eye color, but you should never be afraid to go outside the realm.

3. Experiment, Experiment, Experiment
   
   Once you have an idea of what eyeshadow colors look best in combination with your eye color, you may want to consider trying a variety of different shades. This can mean the difference between light purple and plumb purple or light gray and black.

Tips & Warnings

• Keep in mind that how good or bad a certain eyeshadow color may look depends on the person.
• The shape of a person's eye, hair color and other facial features need to be taken into consideration when choosing an eyeshadow color.
• Remember that you do not always need to wear the same eyeshadow color! It is a good idea to give other eyeshadow colors a try, regardless of your eye color.

on 5/24/2008 I have very light blue eyes, and I find that applying a little bit of teal shadow from the outside in with a bit of white on the inside corner looks ravishing!
