How to choose the Color of Eyeshadow?

The eyes are the mirror of the soul, we know it, when we do makeup, we must pay even more attention and find the right balance between the color of our irises and the color of the eyeshadow that we wish to choose and apply.

There are some shades that, if they give especially to blondes, on brunettes will not have the same effect, or vice versa, while others that are fine for all women and all girls. So let’s see in this article how to choose the right eye shadow color for us.

Before moving on to show you how to choose the right eye shadow color based on the color of your eyes, you need to know that before making any purchase, in addition to considering the color of your irises, your complexion, your hair, and age, you must also keep in mind that there are hot eye shadows and cold eye shadows.

The warm eyeshadows gather all the nuances that go from the gold to the intense yellow, passing through the red, the bronze, the orange, etc., while in the category of the cold eyeshadows we find the white, the silver, the blue, the blue, green, purple, etc.

Having made this brief introduction to cosmetics, we now present the eyeshadows that look best with your eyes and, which are absolute to be avoided to avoid the risk of accentuating the defects more.

How to choose the color of eyeshadow for brunettes and browns

Mediterranean-type women and girls, who have dark hair and eyes, and an amber complexion, are fortunate not to need a particularly exaggerated make-up.

The eyeshadows that best suit their colors are bronze, brown and gold, while they must avoid cold colors, such as blue and silver. Blue and green are allowed, provided, they are dark in color.

If you have brown hair and brown eyes, but your complexion is very light or in shades of rosé, you can choose the right eye shadow from an even wider range of colors: green light, gold and bronze brown, but also pearly pink, silver, blue and light green, without forgetting white or gray if you want a classy make-up suitable for parties and more formal events, such as a wedding or dinner important.

If you are between the ages of fourteen and thirty, for a special evening, you can also jump on fuchsia, which gives liveliness to the eye. On the other hand, warm colors such as deep yellow, red and orange are not recommended, as they tend to lighten the skin of winter women (such as dark eyes, dark hair, and fair skin) and to turn off their colors.

The make-up that gives blondes

The blond type, although apparently it may seem very difficult to make up can play on all the eyeshadow colors: from deep red to dark green, passing through purple, blue, silver, gold, etc. If you are lucky enough to have light hair and eyes, or you are the summer woman type, you should know that they give you all the shades, but if you don’t want to get a ” straw ” color effect on your hair, avoid the yellow and bright orange (instead of allowed in the more nuanced versions).

How to choose the color of the eyeshadow for the reds

The reds can play with the different types of brown, which is a bit of a passe-partout color, as it suits all types of women, orange, green and black, as long as it is not excessive. Instead, they have to stay away from yellow and red, because both colors tend to clash with the tone of their hair and give a grayish appearance to their complexion.

How to choose the color of eyeshadow for dark-skinned women with light eyes

If you have light eyes (green, blue, gray) and dark hair, often finding the perfect makeup for the evening or day can be a problem.

For daily make-up, we recommend you focus on white, pink, gray or brown, while if you’re planning a special evening, opt for silver, black, purple, blue or the Green Forest. Instead, avoid the warm colors, such as gold, red, yellow and orange (instead of allowed bronze and copper).
