Eye Shadow Dilemma

Dec 5, 2013

Rachel E.

Hi lovelys I'm trying to expand my makeup knowledge and would really like to focus on my eyes. I'm lost as to what shadow colors would look best and accentuate my eyes best. I am fair skinned with pink undertones I think with blue/gray eyes and I also wear glasses. not looking for dramatic just an everyday look to make em pop.

Also need advice in proper placement of which shades should go where. I'm not totally clueless when it comes to makeup but would just like to improve my look.

I'll have to defer to the pros for that, they can provide way better info then I can.

Thank you kelly. do you have any particular brands/colors that you could recommend? I would love to be able to try higher end products but atm I'm on a very tight budget so drugstore ones if you know of any.

Rachel. Wal-Mart Carries a line called Hard Candy, for 6 dollars each you can pick up a brown palette and a pink palette and try some color combos. Also try Wet N Wild, they have a quad palette that has a light base/highlight tone with a pink and two browns.

Thanks mal. kelly I saw the hard candy pallets you're talking about the other day and thought they actually looked nice for the price just wasn't sure which one to get. have also heard good things about some of the wet n wild trios. I will definitely have to get one of the hard candy ones. are the shadows decently pigmented though?

I live in nc in a pretty rural area and haven't seen nyx sold anywhere around here. do you know where I might could find it?

1. Blend a warm medium brown shade in your crease as a transitional color
2. Pat on a light highlight color on your lid
3. Add further definition by adding a dark brown/or black shade to your outer V and blend into your crease!

That are decently pigmented, just require a little more patience and time to blend well.  :)
