• STEP 1: Shop for shades that complement your skin and eye color. Look for
colors that softly contrast with the shade of your eyes - not colors that match them
exactly.
• STEP 2: Choose simple, natural shades. If you opt for bright or trendy colors, be
careful; they can look unnatural unless balanced with other suitable tones, and
may go out of style as fast as they came in.
• STEP 3: Buy colors that blend well together. You want your eyes to attract the
attention, not any marked lines caused by your shadow.
• STEP 4: Keep in mind that dark colors will minimize your eyes, while light
shades will make them stand out.
• STEP 5: Consider soft browns and tans with sandy or pink undertones for blue
eyes.
• STEP 6: Wear khaki and brown shades with yellow undertones for green eyes.
• STEP 7: Accent dark brown and black eyes with brown and charcoal shadows.
• STEP 8: Experiment. Head to a department store's cosmetic counter and have
your eyes made up by a professional. Ask for color combinations that could work
for day and evening.

Tips & Warnings

• A little color goes a long way. Begin with a little shadow, and gradually increase
it to find the amount that flatters you the most.
• Shadow can look a lot darker in its palette, so don't let color intensity keep you
from trying a shade you like.
• If you experiment with bright shadows, use them as a wash over the eyelids to add
a hint of color.
• Shadow may irritate your eyes, especially if you wear contact lenses. Tap excess
powder from the applicator before applying.
