Does anyone know any pretty eye shadow combinations? Let me know, I'm not creative with the makeup department, lol.

Stick to basic colors.

Browns - Light tan, medium brown and dark brown. Light gold, medium rust and a sort of mocha color brown.

Grays - Light (almost white) gray, silver, and a deep charcoal.

Blues - Light powdery blue, slate blue and a deep navy

Plums - Light plum, medium plum and a darker plum (or even a chocolate brown)

Greens - Sea greens and blues...nothing too extreme.

Use mascaras that heighten the color of your own lashes and liners and pencils that make your eyes really stand out though nothing too harsh.

I'd suggest staying away from neons or shocking colors if you are going for a natural look. These colors can work if you are very familiar with applying eye shadow.

Well it really depends on your eye color. I have dark blue eyes and I use many different color combinations that depend on what I am wearing. But first I always use a soft black eye liner on my eyes. I apply just above the top lashes and on the bottom. Then I take a light eyeshadow, and apply that. Next I choose a darker shade of that color and apply it in just a line above the top lashes.
Usually I try a subtle "Cat Eye" look, where you sweep the eyeliner just slightly at the corners when you apply it on the eye lid. The I use the lighter shadow on my eyelids to just below my eyebrows. Then apply the darker shade on the eyelids and sweep it out at the corners..... If you do that with the right colors, it looks subtle, yet makes your eyes stand out. But Always make sure the lighter shade is REALLY light or you could look trashy. But I always like to use the same colors of different shades...u can never go wrong!!! And also, pinks and purples are nice....You could also mix those two colors with pale blues!!!

I always prefer the different shades of brown, like taupe, beige and cream like colors OR smokey gray and blues but always matte finish when it comes to eye shadows.

always add white eye powder because it brings out the color.

depends on your eye color. colors that contrast with your eye color make your eyes pop. (i.e. brown/blue, green/purple, etc.)
