Eye shadows- their wrong choice, instead of revealing the depth of the eyes, can emphasize the bruises, close the eyelid unnaturally, give the face a vulgar, sharp look. That is why it is so important to choose the eyeshadows individually to the color of the eyes and skin complexion. If you don't know which shades and textures of the eyeshadows suit you best, read our short guide.

Eye shadows and skin tone

  • Light skin tone , peach - shiny shadows in various shades of brown will be the best - from light, warm walnut to cool dark chocolate.
  • Olive complexion- definitely the best for dark colors, do not be afraid to use black lightened with pearl shine or glitter. Don't be afraid to experiment with dark shades of gray and brown. If you are a fan of intense colors, choose deep shadows: emerald green, plum, navy blue or sapphire.
  • Warm brown complexion- copper brown will be perfect for you. Stock up on shadows with golden shades, also do not be afraid of pink, wine color and warm brown. From intense colors, choose granite, turquoise or purple.
  • Dark complexion- choose shades of copper and bronze for the day, and in the evening choose the colors of precious stones: ruby, emerald and sapphire. For a more girly, delicate version, you can choose tanned pink or warm tones of red and blue.

Eye shadows and eye color

  • Blue eyes- cold shades - gray, white, khaki, chocolate and caramel brown. Pastel shades of purple and light pinks also look good. You can also experiment with different shades of blue, but be careful that the shade is lighterthan your natural eye color.
  • Green eyes- colors contrasting to the color of the iris. Roses, browns and purples (all shades: lilac, lavender, heather, eggplant, plum) will emphasize the depth of the look. In turn, in the day makeup version, delicate beige and pinks combined with brown will look advantageous.
  • Brown eyes- almost any shade of eye shadow. However, we especially recommend purple, graphite and navy blue as well as shades of green: olive and pistachio. Golden shadows also look good.
  • Hazel eyes- copper and brown shadows are the best option for women with hazel eyes. For those ladies who want to go crazy with color in the evenings, we recommend using strong shades of purple (e.g. plum) or red.
