When working with any brighter eye shadow shades, apply eye makeup first as bold color against a fully finished face can look overwhelming. You might find that after you do your eyes, you don't need anything more a subtle lip and cheek shade- The key is balance.
If you are warm complected look for colors with more of a golden tone to them. Over a tightly lined lash line with Black or Dark Brown eye liner, try Warm Sage Eye Shadow – a shimmering khaki-olive with a dash of bronze wet along the lash line and buffed for a smoky look. Blend Warm Celery (a daring citrine shade!) with a bit of Gold eye shadow into the crease and the inner corners for a bit of contrast and pop. For even more drama pair with an orangey eye shadow like Warm Nutmeg to play off the green.
If you are cool complected, look for more pastel greens and greens with a bit of blue in them as these will look most natural on you. Over a tightly lined lash line with Smoke or Black Eye Liner, try Cool Meadow Eye Shadow – a bright, blue grass tone wet along the lash line and buffed for a smoky look. Blend a bit of Cool Celery which is a soft sea foam into the crease and the inner corners. For more drama accent with a bit of Opal Eye Shadow over Cool Meadow to give a 3-D effect.
Finish both looks with plenty of black mascara on the upper lid only. On lips and cheeks, add a bit of Caramel Rose Lip and Cheek stain (an earthy, rose shade).
Quick tips:
*Green eye shadow with a subtle shimmer is ideal for daytime, while metallic tones are best for evening.
*Green eye shadow is ideal for all eye colors including brown, hazel, and blue. However, it's best to avoid green eye shadow if you have green eyes.
*Never match your eye shadow color to your clothing.
