The Keys to Color
Because the tone of your skin impacts a color after
application, it is important to consider skin tone
as much as eye color when choosing an eye shadow.
Ivory complexions
work well with a range of neutrals, cool purples,
reddish browns and blue-greens. For a more dramatic
look, deep greens and taupes or warm purples can
also be used.
Beige skin tones
can be complemented with taupes, tawnies, greens,
warm browns and deep plums. Charcoal gray, navy
or deep purple are perfect for a striking evening
look.
Bronze skin tones
use deep or dark browns, deep greens such as forest
green or charcoal grays. Dramatic looks are best
created with dark purple, dark brown or charcoal.
When choosing eye shadows that bring out the color
of your eyes, pick shades that either complement or
contrast your irises.
Blue eyes
radiate with warm browns, bronze, copper and other
shades with similar orange undertones.
Green eyes
look great in purples, plums and taupes.
Hazel
eyes stand out in shades of deep greens and lavenders
and shades with soft yellow undertones.
Brown eyes
look gorgeous in any color, especially purples,
pinks, grays or blues.
Apply Here
Once you have chosen the colors that complement your
eyes, the next step to stunning eyes is proper application.
Different eye shapes require different methods of
application. The following step-by-step guides provide
easy application instructions for six common eye shapes.
Standard
Eyes that are set about one eye width apart might
be classified as “standard,” but we think
they are still fabulous. Use these interactive
application tips and go from standard to stunning
in the blink of an eye.
Deep-Set
A more noticeable brow bone typically indicates deep-set
eyes. Highlight their magnetic quality with these
interactive
application tips.
Wide-Set
Open and inviting, wide-set eyes are spaced more than
one eye width apart. These interactive
application tips will help bring together their
beauty and radiance.
Close-Set
Close-set eyes are spaced less than one eye width
apart. Their alluring quality can be best illuminated
with these interactive
application tips.
Hooded
The natural crease in the eyelid is not readily seen
with hooded eyes. Draw out their beauty by creating
a well-defined lashline. To further enhance their
sparkle, try these additional interactive
