But before you determine: how to choose the right eye shadow, let's look at the basic concepts that directly relate to this most important detail of eye makeup!
Types of eye shadow
Eye shadow are of two types - pearly and matte. Of course, their purpose is different.
Matte shadows - designed to emphasize the expressiveness of the eyes, to attract attention.
Pearly shadows - when you use them, the gaze acquires shine and radiance.
Matte shadows are often applied to the entire eyelid, while mother of pearl is only on a certain point, most often - in the middle of the upper eyelid, in order to distinguish it.
A very significant detail: you should avoid pearlescent shadows in large quantities in the presence of fine wrinkles, as this version of shadows further accentuates attention on such unwanted folds of the skin.
Eye shadow: role and function
The shadows have many appointments, skillfully using which you can make the look as seductive and attractive as possible. Eye shadow can:
1. make your eyes look a little more expressive, "open" the view;
2. make the gap between the eyes more noticeable if they are closely planted;
3. make the corners of the eyes more elevated, and the eyes - the eastern, slanting;
4. give depth to the look and thereby accentuate the third-party attention on your face.
1. Enough of two, an excessive amount of harm.
2. Dark shadows are used to lengthen the shape of the eyes, to emphasize and highlight.
3. Light will make your eyes shining, and your face - bright.
Choose a shade of eye shadow
You can endlessly mix different colors with each other. Very rarely make-up is monochrome. Therefore, choosing the shades, take into account the outlines of the figure of the girl, the color of the hair, and, of course, the color of the eyes.
You will be very surprised at the results obtained if you try to mix different shades. Having found a unique combination of colors, your uniqueness will be emphasized like never before.
And now we will try to consider: what shades of shades are most suitable for different eye colors.
Blue eyes. Gray, black shades (from dark to light gray shades), steel, dark blue, gray-blue, white, brick, pearl, violet, silver-blue and pink are suitable for them.
Yellow-green eyes. In your arsenal must be such shades of eye shadow: light yellow, beige, yellow-brown, ivory, lime and emerald green, coral, orange, chestnut, copper, brick, purple flowers; pearl shades of green, copper and golden colors.
Dark brown eyes . Shades of brown (from the darkest to lightest shades), light yellow, beige, white, gilded, purple, orange, ivory, dark green will do; pearlescent shades of white, golden and copper tones.
Overlaying shadows: how to do not need to
Incorrectly applied or unsuccessfully chosen eyeshadow will make the eyes malovyrazitelnymi, and the face will look tired. You should avoid too dark shadows in cases when you:
1. Too small eyes;
2. sunken eyes;
3. very short eyelashes;
4. There are dark pigment circles under the eyes;
5. there are bags under the eyes.
If at least one fad corresponds to reality, then in eye makeup you should use bright and light shadows. But it should be remembered that light shadows do not distinguish eyes in any way.
White. It is capable of giving clarity to the look and muffling bright colors. However, the abuse of this color makes the look more severe; with a lot of make-up it will seem artificial. Therefore, this color should be used very sparingly.
Black . Bright colors are suppressed, the look is given expressiveness, while the relief of that part of the century, on which the shadows are cast, is reduced. It is necessary to act as carefully as possible, using this color, since its overabundance is old.
Gray . The look becomes velvety because of the suppression of bright colors. But in the event that
the face has pronounced signs of aging, this color gives him fatigue.
Brown . The look becomes deep and expressive, bright colors soften.
Beige . The look brightens.
Pink . The look becomes radiant, radiant.
Blue . In its pure form, it is not worth using, since the "iceiness" of this color is transmitted to the eye. The best option is to choose green-blue, violet-blue, gray-blue.
Yellow . The view is clarified.
Green . It is also not recommended to use it in its pure form, because in this case the brightness of the look is muffled, and the face may look unhealthy.
Purple . Is able to easily grow old look or extinguish it. In the case of having circles under the eyes, it is better not to use this color at all.
Gold . Eyes shine due to the fact that this color shades the other. But his surplus is able to extinguish the eye, and in this case only the color of the shadows will be visible. Golden shadows are for young people. Otherwise, all small wrinkles can be selected.
Mother-of-pearl . The same case - it is not recommended to apply for eyelids, if wrinkles already exist. To give the look of radiance, one stroke is enough in the center of the upper eyelid.
