what color eyeshadow?

Question

i have a really hard time trying to find an eyeshadow to match my eyes .. my eyes are big [ i use black eyeliner and mascara to make them look smaller ] dark bluee with a little green and sometimes some grey, my sweet 16 i got my makeup down and they did pink white with black liner and sihtt it looked good but what else do you think would look good ?!

Answer 1

With dark blue eyes I'd go with light greens.

Answer 2

Plums are great but if you are tired they can accentuate any redness, the more modern soft greens are good with a more dramatic green on the outside corner (just a lil bit) you can get dark green eyeliner pencil that if you use on the inner upper lid, really shows the hazel off and most people can tell your even wearing eyeliner. Very very pale pink has worked for me too. You can buy the midnight blue/black eyeshadows (must be a good quality ie Channel) and use very lightly on the inner side of the eyelid, so it only looks light grey/blue and gradually apply a bit heavier towards the outside so it looks more purple/grey, then wet the applicator and carefully use as an eyeliner along the top of lashes (looks more purple/blue-black), you can also line the lower lid like this for 3/4 of it - going from the outer to inner, in direction. This is a good look for going out at night or with blonde hair as its dramatic but really looks good on hazel eyes, especially if you have larger/round/almond shaped eyes.

It doesn't matter what we think looks good.

You're the one who has to walk around wearing it, so pick something that YOU like.

And why are you worried about making your eyes look smaller? I'm sure your eyes aren't freakishly large. Big eyes are cute. Don't pile black eyeliner on them, it's going to look tacky.


Just experiment with colors, take pictures of them, then use the pictures to compare the colors all at once. You can decide what you like the best. :)

Answer 4

I have green eyes and like to go with lavender and different purples because I've read that lots of make-up artist suggest going with the an eyeshadow thats the opposite of your eye color.

Answer 5

Yeah i have a problem with that to because i dont look good at all with other colors so i use/ telling you to try Lots of diffrent pinks if pink looked good the other time, browns and grays, maybe light purple stuff like that.

hope i helped some.

Answer 6

Well, eyeshadow depends on so many things like your skin tone, the occasion, your mood.

If you are feeling adventerous and retro, go for fluourescent colours. For the natural look brown/light green. For the lifted look dark orange. For the made up look black. :)

Answer 7

Try a light brown maybe with some sparkles to give it a little flare. My sister has the same eyes and I told her to get that color and she loves it! Good Luck,

Answer 8

try a light green with a black eye liner or pastels with a white eye liner

Answer 9

U should use nice bright shimmery colours and dont try and hide ur big eyes, big eyes are very attractive so make the most of them

Answer 10

I have big eyes too. I use coppery tones to look natural but to make my eye color pop. using too extreme of a color can bring bad attention to you eyes.
