I really liked the suggestions of celebrity makeup artist, Aliana Lopez.
NEUTRALS—Light browns, taupe, beige are great for daytime and very natural looks. Debora’s tip: If you go with one of these I would add a bright blush and/or lip color to really make the eyes pop.
CORALS—Any type of coral, rust, peach, sienna, even coppers. Debora’s tip: The darkness of lightness of your eye can determine the depth of the eyeshadow color. For instance, it your eyes are light, pale blue then a soft peach is nice. If your eyes are dark blue, like Margot’s in the picture, then a coral will work.
GREYS—There are many pictures with Jennifer Lawrence with smokey-grey eyes but I tend to think it is overwhelming.
PURPLES—Not always recommended but I like the color on anyone. Best if warm-toned since blue eyes are cool and with a peach highlight can be really pretty.
METALLICS—Aliana suggests using bronze for vibrancy and rose gold for sheen. And I happened to find a picture of Reese Witherspoon with Copper metallics … beautiful!
Debora-great article on eye shadow (and the previous featuring GC is very nice to refer to 🙂 ). I do wonder about metallics for those of us with a few extra creases. Should we stay away from metallics? Thx. MJ
Hey MJ! The trick to wearing metallics with creases is to apply them to the ball of the eye, but not to high. Sometimes the inner eye if not too crinkly. Further down on the blog is a small pic of Glenn Close as an example.
