Eye shadow is often given the least importance in our makeup kit, the primary reason being the lack of knowledge in the selection of colors and the lack of application skills. Selecting the color to wear is not a great big deal if you familiarize yourself with certain details to coordinate the color with your skin, or outfit or occasion. Here are some points that will guide you:
Selecting the right eyeshadow for your skin color
Before going to the main topic, let us understand a little about skin undertones. You may have skin complexion, which is light, medium or dark. However, the undertone is different from the complexion. If your skin appears blue, or pink, your undertone is ‘cool’. On the other hand, if there are yellow, peach or golden hues in your skin your undertone is ‘warm’. Those who do not have a cool or warm undertone are said to have neutral undertones.
Besides matching the skin complexion to eyeshadow color, you can try these combinations to match your lipstick with your eyeshadow.
Eyeshadows to match your outfits
Your eyeshadow and outfit do not have to be a perfect match. They can complement each other. Go for a slightly darker eyeshadow with your evening outfits and more natural shades with your daily outfits or casual clothing. At the end of it all looks at the effect in the mirror, your eye makes up should be a part of the whole outfit and should not stand out weirdly.
At the end of the day, it all boils down to individual choice and your mood for the day. Match your outfits with your makeup as you like it on that day. Treat yourself and celebrate yourself with different looks.
