Answer 2

I heard once that your eyeshadow shouldn't match with your outfit 'cause matching it would make you look like you have too much of the same color. Your shadow can be match either with your eyes, your skin color and depends if your gonna go out during the day or during the night. Day: Light eyeshadow Night: darker or depends on the occasion

Answer 3

By the color of my shirt, but if my shirt is white then I make it match my hair color since its never the same color for more than a month!!!!! LOL!!!!

Answer 4

You should wear eyeshadow that matches your eyes not your clothes. And you should only wear mat shadows if you have eye issues because frosted colors will enhance flaws. However if you have youthfull eyes you may wear frost or mate shadows with no problem. And almay has brought out color eye shadow compacts to enhance your own eye color.

Answer 5

never match it with your clothing. Match it with the tone of your skin, hair color, and eye color. Eyeshadow color is different for everyone so it is tricky to find the right one.

Answer 6

I usually go by my hair color and my complexion and pick a color that compliments me. Although there have been times that I have tried to match what I am wearing. But according to experts, that is a "fashion don't".

Answer 7

honestly, if you're beautiful, you can get away with a whooooole lot... if you want your eyes to stand out, try to use a shadow that contrasts your eyecolor, but compliments your outfit... let's say you have brown eyes and are wearing an olive green shirt... try a gold eyeshadow, because it will work with both. try to tie your eyecolor and outfit together with a color that is in the same tonal family.

Answer 8

I would say what looks best with all. You can't always match your shirt because it might not look good with your eyes. If I were you I'd go to MAC and have them suggest a all around good eyeshadow combination for everyday or special occasion wear. While you are there have them apply your makeup and see for yourself.

Answer 9

look at the color of your eyes and you will see little flecks of color in them, like gold or blue or some color that makes them what they are...your shadow should be one of those colors, not the color of your eyes....actually, most people choose the opposite color of their eyes for their shadow....for example: blue eyes, coral or orange or red toned....green eyes, lavender or purples, brown eyes can use about anything, but browns make them seem like too much of one color, hazel eyes need plum or green usually....try lots of colors till your eyes seem to really stand out...you will know it when you get it right.

Answer 10

well I usually use the ones that match my clothes. But if you don't feel like doing that just use brown or tan. It looks really great and you don't have to buy loads of colors.
