Dramatic Eyeshadow
At its best, eyeshadow can make eyes look brighter, clearer and more dramatic. The right shade for you will depend on the color of your eyes, as well as your complexion. It seems that every season, the number of available eyeshadow colors and brands grows. While certain palettes will go into and out of style, there are also classic choices that will always remain chic. Whether you are looking for a new brand or color for Friday nights or the office, the following tips can help guide your search for the best eyeshadow shades and types for all occasions.
Multi-color eyeshadow palettes that are designed to bring out the natural color in your eyes have been around for years, and only continue to grow in popularity. Most of the palettes will contain at least three colors that, when applied according to the included guide, will make your natural eye color pop. For those with brown eyes, consider a set with green undertones that will make your brown eyes look more lively and bright. Anyone with green or hazel eyes should consider investing in violet eye shadow. While purple might seem a little much for day, most shades will look subdued and natural when applied. Blue eyes are naturally quite bright and prominent, so less may be more for women with blue eyes. Try light earth tones to offset your eye color for daytime and office wearing.
Smokey eyes can be seen on the runways and red carpets almost any season. This eyeshadow design will look good on almost anyone, regardless of the color of your eyes or your complexion. In order to get the perfect, Smokey look, combine smudged eyeliner with eyeshadow in grey or slate shades. If you would like to lighten this severe look, consider opting for eyeshadow that is flecked with a bit of glitter or sheen. This will make the eyes look a little brighter. If you are going to wear this look, always keep the rest of your make-up clean and simple to avoid looking overdone.
Powder eyeshadow is still one of the best selling cosmetics on the market. Powder shadows are generally easy to apply and long lasting, providing any amount of coverage the wearer desires. For the devotee of powder shadows, upgrading your eyeshadow brush is probably a good idea. While the included brushes will suffice for some, specialty brushes will allow greater control over application, will be softer on the eye lid, and will last much longer. Most of the leading cosmetic stores now offer full lines of professional quality brushes.
Cream eyeshadow has been traditionally favored by teens and younger women, but as more and more high quality cream shadows being introduced, there are now products to satisfy any taste. Cream shadows are great in that they may be easily applied with nothing more than a finger in a pinch. This makes them the perfect choice for long days when touch ups are necessary. For anyone who is looking for an eyeshadow with a sheen, cream eyeshadow may be your best option.
New eyeshadow is the least expensive way for anyone to update their look or buy into new trends.
