How to choose the right eye shadow for your skin color:
Here’s a list of eye shadows that suit different skin tones, which Urban Clap’s makeup experts swear.
Combinations of eye shadow colors for light skin
Earthy colors such as cream, bronze, and copper are best for fair skin with a warm undertone. Jewel colors such as sapphire and emerald are great for those with cool undertones. Pastels look great on both the undertones.
Eye shadow Color Combinations for Light Brown/Wheaties Skin
Warm undertones are familiar for people with light brown or whitish complexions. This skin tone is best complemented by gold, cinnamon, and rust. To create bold, Smokey eyes, you could use darker browns.
Eye shadow Color Combinations for Olive Skin
Cool eye shadows are available for those with this skin type, such as teal or other shades of blue. This undertone is emphasized by the teal color, which makes you appear fresh and not washed out.
Eye shadow Color Combinations for Dark Tan/Brown Skin
This skin tone has a neutral undertone. It is neither warm nor cool. Every eye shadow palette will look great on dark skin tones. Try them all!
Eye shadow Color Combinations for Dark Skin
Bright colors and metallic look great on dark skin, especially purples, teals, and midnight blue. Women with darker skin tones should be cautious about choosing the correct pigments to ensure the color is vibrant. Our experts recommend coral and rose gold as warmer options.
This video shows you how to apply eye shadow correctly.
Harmful eye makeup can ruin your appearance. Good eye makeup can give life and style to even the most basic outfits. This is why we have created this step-by-step guide on how to apply eye shadow properly.
- Step 1: Cleanse, Moisturize and Moisturize
Before applying makeup, it is essential to prepare your skin. To ensure that your makeup is evenly spread:
Cleanse and moisturize.
Moisturize your skin to prevent it from drying out.
After washing your face, apply moisturizer.
Apply some eye cream to the lids and around your eyes.
- Step 2: Apply a primer
Primer application is a must for all types of eye makeup. A primer acts as a foundation that holds your makeup together. It also protects your delicate eyelid skin from makeup. Use a concealer next to cover any dark circles or marks around your eyes.
- Step 3: Start Neutral and End Dark
Use a neutral color all over your eyelids. Apply a light color to your eyelids starting at the lash line. Move to the crease. Apply the eyeshadow only to the brow bone. Move inwards, beginning at the center.
Use a flat brush to sweep the eye shadow over the dark shadow. Start at the outer corner of the eye and work your way inwards. Make a V-shape according to the natural contours of your eyes. The one that extends towards your brow bone should be the first, and the other should stay close to the lash line. Then, move towards the middle of your eyelid.
- Step 4: Line up your eyes
Use an eye pencil to line your lower lash line. Then, line your upper eyelids with liquid eyeliner. You can use a simple line, or you could try the latest eyeliner trends. Top 10 Eye Shadow Palettes in India
