Finding The Right Shade – Is Your Eye Shadow Working Against You?

One thing we all worry about is how to choose, wear and rock a shade of eye shadow so that we look good and not like a circus clown. The truth is that we all struggle with making the right eye shadow choice – for our jobs, a night out, or even for running errands. The good news however is that there are some tips and tricks to follow that will help guide you in the right direction no matter the occasion for which you are wearing it.

The first thing that has to be considered when choosing an eye shadow is your particular eye color. These are rules that will always apply, and they are perfect for the beginner eye shadow chooser. For green eyes, try gold or lilac colors, and experiment a little with different shades to bring out the best of your eyes – this goes for hazels too. Blue eyes should try deeper blue than your shade, gray, taupe, and deep purples. Brown eyes should go for copper, bronze, khaki greens, and browns.

Finally, consider your occasion or lighting at where you’ll be. At the office, tone down the colors unless your job requires bold fashion sense – try neutral or earth tones. For a night out, don’t be afraid to play it up a little more brightly so the dim light can really bring it out. And for running errands, it really depends on your personal style – try going bold for chic shopping or playing it down for soccer-mom status.
