Eye shadow?

Question

What looks better, darker shade on the lid and lighter in the crease or the other way around?

Answer 1

Darker in the crease. The lightest on the brow, middle on the lid and darkest shade on the crease.

Answer 2

Both work, but both give you different effects.
By putting a darker shade on your lid and then the lighter on the crease you're going to make the color of your eyes stand out.
By putting a lighter shade on the lid and a darker on the crease you're giving your eyes a little more depth, it's bit more dramatic depending on how dark the shade is.

Answer 3

What really looks good, is put a lighter shade on the inner part of your lid, closest to your nose and make it meet into the middle, then put the darker color you're wanting to use on the remaining part of your lid, making it go a little bit into your crease and blend the 2 colors. Then use a light color for your highlight area!

Answer 4

I would say it depends on the time of day or even the occasion. If I was going out to dinner in the late evening I would wear a medium color on my lids with a darker color on the crease and a light color under my brow. If I where going to work I would wear a light color on my lids like a light golden cream shadow (I'm biracial so I have a tanish color skin) It also could depend on you skin tone if you are very fair you might not want to use golds or dark browns I would go with light colors light pink shimmer or cream shadow would look nice on lids less is always more what ever do decide try and make it look natural.

Answer 5

Good Question!
I go with Light by day, Dark by night.
On the Lid, smudge some great eyeliner around the eyes first.
Depending on what you are wearing and the day/night thing. Go with fantastic fun colors! It is summer!!!! Have Fun with it!

I would do the liner first, and highlight the color you choose.
For example: Use a dark liner on top, with a bronze highlight around the the eye. Accent with a slightly darker shadow on the crease, and blend, blend blend. Top with a light powder for stay, on lid only, and then continue with the lighter "bronzey" colors on top and below the curve.
This is just an example. it all depends on what you are wearing, where you are going, and what your skin tones are like.
Also, follow up with some fun shimmer blush and some on your chest and shoulders for the total, "I am hot, and don't mess with me" look.

Good Luck!!!!!! Mess around with the make up and give yourself different attitudes with it! lol

Answer 6

I am guessing from the avatar you have brown eyes. First, line your top eye lid with a dark purple, brown or black eyeliner. Then get apply a light dusting of nude (whatever your nude color is) from your brow to your crease.
To complete this simple eye makeup routine get some light coppery or light shimmery brown high pigment eye shadow to line the eyelids with, especially tinting each eye with the dark color to the crease.
Always buy the darkest black mascara you can find if you are as brown eyed girl.
If all else fails, visit your local MAC counter They have excellent;;ent staff there, will be helpful even if you do not wish to buy anything from there. For convenience store make up for eyes I would rely on Rimmel eye shadows and Maybeline Great Last dark kblack mascara. You'll look great, good luck.
