    Angry what color eyeshadow should I wear with what ....

    Oook. One of my best girlfriends has like every color known to MAC. She's always doing something new and different. I'm insanely jealous. I don't know what colors to wear with what. I'm totally limited on my colors as I'm very fair complected and have freckles and don't look good in many colors. Also, allot of nuetral colors just disappear on me.

    Venus and other makeup-ly inclined ladies HELP ME! What do you recommend as far as how I should wear the shadows?

    Also, my eyes are very blue. I have a pale, sheer blue and a dark indigo blue that I'm dying to wear but I don't know what color clothing it's appropriate to wear these colors with. If you need the exact names of the shadows from MAC, let me know.

    Also, I have the coppering color. I need an accent color to go with this and what color clothing would that color look good with? So far, I've only worn it with an all white outfit (when I had my tan sprayed on, haha...so i didn't blend in)

    I've attached a photo. Sorry it's so bad. Took it with my phone. And sorry for any misspelled words...can't get spell check to work.

    I have blue eyes, and don't wear much shadow, but black liner sure makes the colour pop out when i wear it! At times a coppery brown looks good too!

    I Think the lavender colours are nice as well, as i just started trying them.

    Sorry i fail on make-up tricks pretty much.

    All I have to say...is don't worry about matching the COLOR of your outfits. Only the intensity of the outfits. Like dramatic eyes for a formal outfit and Softer colors for a casual look.
    If everything you try is a sure thing, you aren't taking enough risks. If you never fail, you put a limit on the degree to which you can succeed. In short, the only way to win big is to risk losing

    I dont have blue eyes, but when I do make up for blue eyed co-workers, I've found that browns tend to bring out the color of their eyes best. Especially a medium to dark brown. Browns also go well with blonde hair, like in your icon. If your hair is still like that? One style that some girls I know like is using a flesh tone or beige, something that is a little lighter than your skin tone for a base color on your lids. Touch up the base of your lid (nearest to the lashes) and the outer corner of the lid with a darker brown, perhaps a walnut or a chocolate color. Make the two colors look something like this or this in pattern. Then find a shade that is similar to whatever color clothing you'll be wearing most that night, be it a blue whatever, and just dot it on either the very outer edge of your lid (also nearest the lashes) or the inner most corner. It's something that may not show on stage, but when you're up close with a customer in a dance, they will notice the little touch of color.

    Using silver in your eye shadows will help bring out the lighter tones in your eyes. I agree with whoever said that colors "don't matter". I use blue and I have brown eyes. It's not what you wear but how you wear it. Coppering is good for your eyes. You can use it with black, blue, brown, or even green. I say get all of your make-up together and play with it. It's how I came up with my eye make-up. If you want some more help, PM me.

    What, exactly, are you trying to achieve? Bold? Sexy? Casual?

    If you are going to use liner below the bottom lashes, make sure that you use a sharp pencil and make thin lines and blend. Using bolder lines will make your eyes appear smaller (your eyes seem smaller already, so using bold lines underneath the eyes will make them appear more so). And, never underestimate the eye lashes. Using a "simple" eye shadow combo and really hitting the eye lashes will do wonders for "popping" the eyes.

    If you have freckles w/ blue eyes I think maybe a brown on lids w/ an orange-y brown in the crease

    I think it's kinda to dark for a guy to really take notice. Use lots and lots of mascara. Like Venus said, it'll make ur eyes pop.

    man, finally back at the computer!!

    Page, thank you for the photo ideas..awesome! My only concern with using those patterns is that because of the shape of my eyes, it will make them look turned down on the outside.....sort of panda bear like. I do love the way those look though.

    I wear lots of mascara Venus! I'm addicted to it. Luckily I have pretty decent eyelashes. Not th at you could tell in that picture. I actually took it with the day before's eye makeup still on.

    Cinnamon...I'm concerned with my eyemakeup for social reasons, rather than work! I have my look for work and occaissionally I'll tone it down a bit and make it my "going out" look. I have some really pretty blues from MAC that I want to start wearing more often. My biggest problem with browns is either they just disappear on my face or they make me look bruised. My gf matches her eyeshadow to her clothes and honestly, it looks kick ass. It's very subtle so it doesn't look silly.

    If you are wanting something simple, yet noticeable...try wearing a silver or white lid color (stop at the crease) and using a "smashing" liner...line thinly and blend.

    I love this when I want to wear make-up doing errands, whatnot...but don't want to do the whole schpeel.

    Get me a better pic of your eyes if you can...I look at them later and see what I can come up with that will give you color, open your eyes, and look either "stunning" or "simple".

    Try looking in beauty magazines, I've seen several articles in different ones, detailing colors of not only shadow, but blush, lipstick, etc for different eye/skin/hair color tones. One thing I use that really brings out my eyes is white liquid eyeliner (have Prestige brand). A lil' tricky to use, but has a bold dramatic look emphacizing my small deep set brown eyes.
