Accentuate Your Eye Color

I thought this was kinda fun!

I found it on SheKnows.com Beauty section.
Which is always worth having a look at.
You'll even see me on there sometimes.
Giving makeup tips etc.
Anyway, the video I was going to post for you today is having trouble loading.
Which left me a tad unprepared.

So, here's a little something that I didn't write...




Beauty tips to accentuate your eye color

For your eyes only
Crystal Patriarche


Forget about pouty lips and rosy cheeks.
The eyes are the windows to the soul,
so you want yours to shine brightly.
Regardless if you're a blue-eyed beauty
or a brown-eyed cutie
or if your eyes are green with envy.
We have some great tips
to accentuate the color of your eyes in a snap.

Know your true colors

The easiest way to make your eyes stand out
is to use complimentary shades of eyeshadow
that work best with your specific eye color.

It may come as a surprise,
But you should not wear the same color eyeshadow
as your eye color.

Here are some general guidelines:

For brown eyes, try pale greens or blues.
This brings out the warm tones in your eyes
and makes them look richer.

Use darker jewel tones, like plum
for a smoky and sultry look.

For green eyes, use pink tones
and reddish-berry shades for daytime wear
and shimmering bronze and ruby shades
for evening.
The contrast of the reddish shades against
the green of your eyes will make the color
of your eyes sparkle.

For blue eyes, try peach and orange shades for daywear,
and copper and burnt orange shades for
evening shimmer.

These complimentary shades will make the blue of your eyes radiant.
Just remember that since everyone's eye color is different,
you'll want to shop where you can try out a few different shades of colors
in the same families, for a perfect match for you.



For green eyes, CHOOSE THESE COLOR COMBOS:

Gold, bronze, copper
Brown, chocolate, mustard yellow

Peach, beige, Champagne, taupe, apricot
Plum, mauve, purple, violet, pink

For blue eyes, choose THESE COLOR COMBOS:
