It will be hard to determine how to wear it when you are applying eye shadow for the very first time. You are thinking about how to match it with an outfit? What colour will I apply, and should it match with the eye colour?

1. Select the perfect eye shadow colour:

Things that you should think about are your skin tone and eye colour.

Blue eyes – A mixture of Deep blue and violet with black will make your eyes stand out, and these colours are good for building a smokey effect on blue eyes. If you want a funky look, use creamy peaches, vibrant purples and fuchsia.

Hazel or Green Eyes –For the Smokey effect, use Burnt orange, dark brown and brown. For funky looks, use lime green, purple, orange or yellow. Use any shade of creamy orange and gold to open up.

Brown Eyes – Get away with the best colours; copper, bronze, and gold will highlight the eye colour. Lighter colours such as light blue will brighten baby pink pastel green and open the eyes. To build a funky look use hot pink, fuchsia, yellow, teal lime, bright violet and blue.

2. Selecting the perfect type of eye shadow: 

Various types of eye shadow exist; some have loose powder, textures, pressed powder, glitter and cream effects.

Liquid Eye shadow – They will give you a refined look; these are good for brightening the eyes.

Cream Eye shadow –If you want to use it as liquid eyeliner, you can add a little water. Cream Eye shadow is hard to blend.
