Eye Shadows & Lipsticks To Suit Your Skin Tone And Eye Colour


My first beauty blog! :) 

Right so I had to think long and hard about this, where to start?! I thought I'd start off by something that a lot of people ask me. It's what SUITS them. This is actually more important than people think and very under-rated! Certain colours do suit and complement certain skin tones and eye colours more. It's a FACT!

Eye shadows
Blue eyes:
A deep blue, grey, violet and purple.
For an edgier look try silver, turquoise and fuchsia.

Brown/dark brown eyes:
Copper/bronze, chocolate, coffee, champagne, brown, beige and khaki green.
For an edgier look try tangerine, royal blue/navy, hot pink and violet.

Green/hazel eyes:
Deep khaki, brown, apricot, purple and plum.
For an edgier look try gold, lime-green and bright purple.




 Lipsticks
Light, slightly pale skin: 
Rosy pinks, coral and peachy browns, if you want to wear red lipstick it is better to go for an orangey red.

Medium toned, olive skin: 
Rose, plum and soft pinky reds.

Darker skin tones: 
Most reds suit you especially a deep brownish red, raspberry, magenta, burgundy and plum. Try to avoid nude shades and neon bright pinks.



****A lot of people don’t like wearing red lipstick because they feel their teeth are a little yellow – wearing a red lipstick with a blue undertone actually helps the teeth to appear whiter! ;) ****

So make sure you make a note of this and hopefully you'll end your battle of wasting money on shades you've bought in the past which haven't suited you.
