Trying to find my "right" eyeshadow color?

Question

I wear glasses so I want something that will stand out but not be outlandish. I have bluegreen eyes and blonde eyelashes. As well sometimes my eyes are all green and sometimes all blue or grayish blue. Any suggestions? Thanks to all that help.

Oh, could someone tell me some tips to applying it properly.

Answer 1

You could pull off brown or plum-purple colors well. I think they sell kits designed especially for certain eye colors. I want to say it's Almay.

Start with a vanilla or light shade and apply from your lash line to your brow. Cover your lid with a darker shade. From the outside corner of your eye to about the middle of your eye, sweep into your crease the darkest shade. Use a brown mascara. It would look less harsh than black.

Feel free to experiment. And use brushes. It pays off to get good quality ones. They work so much better than the foam applicators you get with the shadows.

Answer 2

I wear glasses, and my eyes are exactly the same way, except my eyelashes are black.

I usually use a light, frosted pink for the upper outside area, and a darker, more subdued pink for the lid. That will bring out more of the green. To bring out more of the blue, I use brown or tan.

I can't honestly say that it looks as dramatic as if I weren't wearing glasses, but it's visible, and I think it looks good.

Answer 3

gray or dark brown eyeshadow on the outside of your eyelid like the tip of it. but first get some white eyeshadow on first then at the edges of your eye add either gray of dark brown it'll make your eyes stand out beautifully.and cover girl super thick lashes mascara will finish it off with a dramatic look since you wear glasses. =^.^=
