And if you're in a hurry and can't be bothered to read it all, it's all summed up in the video, right here 👇🏼
Which eye shadow color to choose?
Depending on your eye color
For brown eyes, it's super simple! In fact, most shades work beautifully. The most flattering colors, however, are plum or violet eyeshadows, which will bring out the best in your beautiful brown eyes.
Which eye shadow color is ideal for blue eyes?
Illuminate with bronze, terracotta and orange shades. To accentuate the clarity of your eyes, opt for nude, ash or chocolate eyeshadows.
To highlight green eyes, opt for pink and violet hues, which are ideal for making them stand out!
Finally, for gray eyes, opt for smoky and silver shades that will brighten your eyes in the blink of an eye 😉
Depending on your age
If you have mature skin, look for nude shades that will suit you perfectly. For the rest of us, it's simple: all colors will match as long as you follow our advice! 👌
Depending on your skin tone
Our second tip is to determine your skin color. If you have sensitive skin that blushes easily in the sun, you have fair skin. On the other hand, if your skin is rarely sunburned and tans more easily, you have dark skin. Finally, if your skin is not sensitive to the sun and you tan very quickly, you have dark skin.
For fair skin, opt for warm shades that warm the complexion in just one brushstroke.😉
Those with darker skin have much more choice, as all shades work relatively well for their skin tone.
Finally, for darker skins, choose more colorful shades. They'll add a touch of pizzazz in a single brushstroke! 🌈
Depending on your clothes
Between colorful make-up and a bright outfit...you have to choose! If you have a very colorful outfit, opt for more sober makeup to balance it out and keep a touch of sophistication. And if your outfit is more sober, choose a more colorful makeup to give your look a boost!
Choosing your eyeshadow: Dare color or prefer nude?
