How to enhance your eye colour
Choosing the perfect eyeshadow
To really enhance your eyes, to make them look more alluring, bigger, brighter and the whites appear whiter, then choose eyeshadow colours that fall opposite to your iris colour on the colour wheel, as opposed to colours that are the same or similar colour as your eyes or colours that match your clothes.
Complementary colours
Colour wheel
The opposite of blue is orange/golds/browns
The opposite of green is lilac/burgundy/pinks
The opposite of brown is turquoise/blues/greens
Using complementary colours provides the most contrast between your iris colour and your shadow colour, it’s this contrast that enhances your eye colour.
Taupes and shades of brown
Aside from complementary colours, everyone needs a brown, taupe and neutral shades palette too. Eye & Brow Palette with all matte colours, for both eyes and brows.
Brown eyes, can also use browns, just need to stay away from muddy browns, think soft shimmer 08 golden topaz and the lovely light taupe in Eye & Brow Palette.
Application Tips
Apply with Eye Definer Brush and Eyeshadow Blender Brush.
Always apply eyeshadow from outer towards inner, not the other way around, for a professional and uplifting look to your eyeshadow application. When you apply from inner to outer you end up with colour dragging your eye downwards.
When you’re applying your deepest colour to the crease, always keep your eyes open to ensure correct placement of the colour.
