    Please! half the outfits they pick out, are worse than what the person had in their wardrobe initially!

    You can certainly match your eyeshadow with your outfit, what, are you supposed to wear green with only a white or black outfit???

    I do wear Mac's Humid, Swimming, DeMenthe (greens) with white or black outfits, but I sure as heck wear them with something that has green in it as well!

    I watch that show too and some of those new outfits are kinda just plain ugly. I think crazy eyeshadow is something you can incorporate into a style all your own. I would say to look from being overdone and tacky when matching your eyeshadow (particularly in this color) to your outfit don't wear a bright green shirt with bright green shadow. Wear it with other e/s colors if you can and for wardrobe it seems good to wear a piece of clothing with that e/s accented in it.

    well, geez. it's not like they're tailoring their advice to strippers. just imagine what they'd say about the shoes! or walking around all night in a mesh mini-dress.

    hahahaha.

    even outside of work, with all the ink i see in your avatar, i can't imagine you'd have any problem bending a couple arbitrary fashion rules.

    is clinton her first name btw?

    Meh I usually don't see a problem matching your eyeshadow to your clothing, just as long as it's not too obvious. For example: brown dress with brown eyeshadow: totally acceptable. Teal shirt with a hint of teal eyeshadow: acceptable. Neon blue dress with neon blue eyeshadow covering the whole lid: tacky and trashy.

    it's all in how you do it. there's no definate "rule" to the eyehadow matching. i generally prefer to do complimentary colors instead, but if i'm going for super dramatic.. i'll match it.

    the only thing i say to stay away from 100% is clashing your eyeshadow with your hair or lip color.

    for instance-

    redheads + pink eyeshadow = disaster

    it looks like you have dark hair though right? that means you can get away with a lot of fun brightly colored shadows as well as darker shadows.

    ps. it may sound simple and obvious to pick out complimentart colors and avoid clashing..

    but if you really want to be safe (and probably learn some you didn't know about) buy a decent color wheel and keep it by your make up.

    actually, you can probably print one out from the internets somewhere, if you have a color printer.

    i am a posting FIEND.

    heres a good color wheel.

    http://www.cierracandles.com/images/HDColor33a.gif

    the colors directly opposite eachother (across from) are complimentary as well as the ones to the left and right of each color.

    go more than one slide to the left or right and you are in a clashing zone.

    I think eyeshadow should match but the key is moderation and also not going ape shit with one solid color.

    I have green eyes and use greens and purples to make my eyes pop. you can totally wear greens just mix it with golds and purples.

    There are no definite rules, IMO, but in general I try to coordinate my eyeshadow to compliment the colors in my out rather than match it exactly. Sometimes it totally works and is really cute, sometimes it would just too obvious. Too many variables, therefore no set rules.


    ETA: I have some jewelry I really enjoy matching my eye shadow too rather than clothing. Specifically, a turquoise necklace and some coral earrings because the colors are so beautiful. I like to match to my jewelry or other accessory than to my clothing.

    I think bright, colorful, bold eyeshadow looks best with a neutral-colored outfit. Green goes beautifully with brown, in particular. Try doing up your eyes in that green shadow and dressing in a simple brown dress, and I bet it makes your green eyes pop like a motherfucker.

    i said you could get away with both brighter colors as well as smokey eyes.
    i don't see why you couldn't.

    Why wouldn't you be able to do smoky eyes?? I believe anyone can wear bright colors and everyone can certainly do a smoky eye.
