In high fashion, what do you match your eyeshadow to?

Question

I was watching ANTM and they said you are not suppose to match your eyeshadow to you outfit.... then what do you match it to?

Answer 1

They are right. A general rule of thumb: blonde hair/blue eyes should wear: browns, purples, silvers golds, greens, some pink and use blue sparingly, it can really make your eye color pop!!!!
Brunettes with blue eyes: see above, avoid most pinks (ie: frosty pinks)
Brunttes with brown/hazel eyes: any color, use browns sparingly, golds can make your eye color pop if used correctly, greens would also be a good choice...greens with a touch of gold would be hot!
Dark hair and dark skin: no browns, avoid excessive cream colors (unless you are using them to highlight), golds, blues sparingly, highlight with silvers, purples with gold would also look hot!
I hope this helps!!!

They are talking about high fashion. They want to bring out the outfit, the face has to make a statement. Of course, u not going put blue eyeshadow all over and u wearing blue, r do red eyeshadow and u wearing red. U could do something like an all over base color on eye. I choose from a light tan family or pink for a basis then i work on the highlight(under the brow), the crease shade and the lid shade. Sometimes I use 3, sometimes on 2. Look at Project Runway, how the designer chooses the colors they want to go with their outfits. Most time they ask do u want something simple or dramatic, dark or fresh..not sure at all get tips from make-up artist. Check out celeb mag. Their is a section showing hair style and make-up. Just like smoky eye effect, u don't have to use just black with it. U can use similar colors, like purple to achieve this. If it looks too weird, probable made a wrong choice. Good luck.

Answer 3

I wouldn't match eyeshadow to my outfit, but I would use colors that match obviously. I'm a big fan of the smokey eye look w/ a light glossy lip. It's very now, and you can wear it with pretty much everything. During the day less is more, but vamp it up at night!

Answer 4

If you are wearing a lot of differnt colors wear the color that you are wearing the least of. At night always try to match you eyeshadow to your tops and you well be ready for any type of party. If you are going out during the morning or noon try to wear light colors browns, light pinks etc. If you are a teen just try and have fun with your make up but don't put to much on you could get pimples. Sorry if this sounds like an adult wrote this i just have seen lot's of ppl wear make up even though i don't wear make up this is good advice. So try it out.

Answer 5

And you can read another fashion magazine and it will tell you that you SHOULD match it to your outfit.

But, what your eyeshadow should really match is your hair & skin tone. That way you'll look good no matter what you wear!

Answer 6

It is tacky to match your eyeshadow to your outfit. Your eyeshadow should be a color that will bring out the color of your eyes.

Answer 7

I match my eyeshadow to my tops, It is the 1st thing people are going to look at besides your face, but try to keep it subtle!

If your wearing a black top, try a smoky look.
Blue, try either blue cream shadow or eyeliner.

Answer 8

It's not that your NOT SUPPOSE to, you CAN if you want. Normally I use colors that compliment or in the same family of what I'm wearing, or yes, your skin complexion. Like I'm Asian, therefore colors like golds, browns, pinks and purples look good on me and I use them often.

Answer 9

Eyes and hair

Answer 10

Your eye color and your skin complexion.
