Whether your eyes are blue brown green or hazel, there are colors developed to bring out the best of your particular shade.

You’ll find that once you try it you’ll get colors that will work for you every time -- it all starts with eyeshadow palette.

Start by finding a palette that will complement your particular eye color. As an example take a look at the palate shown at left. This is an Almay eyeshadow palette that was made specifically to play up blue eyes. It’s very affordable and you can find it at Drugstore.com or on Amazon.com. I actually own this particular palette and it serves as the perfect example of how to do this next match technique.

Eyeshadow Color Palette Tips

Here are more makeup tips to choose colors that will work perfectly for the look that you want:

  • Take your palate with you when you go shopping and if you want a daytime look it’s perfect for the office and choose the same colors but in a matte formulation without shimmer.

  • If you’re pleased with the colors already bought one a little more diversity in your look and use your eyeshadow palette as is change the eyeliner color. Choose a color that is much deeper than the toning your palate. You can even choose one with a little more color and.

  • To get pure color, color that looks almost exactly like eyeshadow itself rather than how it looks on tight to your eyes, apply in my makeup base in either white or ivory. That way when you apply the shadow you won’t have to tan your skin underneath. This makes a big difference in the way the eyeshadows look once applied.

  • The way to make the palette that you already own more intense, is to use distilled water on your eye makeup brush. Distilled water is a wonderful way to make all of your cosmetics more intense. Think of it this way, it’s like having two eyeshadows for the price of one and all youth added his water.


One simple eyeshadow palette can give you a variety of makeup looks, but you’re sure to want to add several which you understand how the color will work for you. Try out a few colors and powder formulations can also try a few of the creamier colors to see which you like working with best. When you find out just pop your favorite one into your makeup kit.
