this "glam eyes" quad eyeshadow set has 4 brilliant colours that can be used for different looks. The bottom peachy colour is great for everyday and works well on blue and green eyes. This season, Rimmel is going for a purple and green theme for eyeshadows and you can see on many of their advertising posters a model wearing purple and green eyeshadow together - you can see that it works really well especially on darker skin tones because bold colours may easily pale your face unless you wear a strong bronzer.
a balance of blue and green eyeshadow is great for flattering green eyes. It looks simple because of the similarity between the green eyeshadow and green eye, however it's also a strong colour that defines the outline of the eye nicely. It wouldn't work as well for blue eyes because the green would blend into the blue and therefore the eye would be overpowered with blue and the green would be forgotton. Green and blue blend in nicely together so this is a great way to avoid a layered effect.
Yellow eyeshadow is becoming more and more popular recently, but there are a few do's and don'ts when wearing yellow. Don't use a heavy amount of black eyeliner when using yellow to try and avoid looking like a bumblebee. Don't overpower it with bolder colours such as green or blue if you want yellow to be the block colour. Do buy a bold yellow such as the MAC range or else the yellow may appear to be gold, and do be careful with what lipstick you use because few lip colour work well with yellow.
eyeliner requires accuracy and patience. Unless you are a makeup guru genius, when using a new or blunt eyeliner it's always a challenge. Try getting as close to the eye as you feel comfortable to avoid it looking stripey, especially with coloured eyeliner. When using pencil eyeliner it's always nice to smudge it slightly on the bottom line, and with liquid eyeliner, make sure you have a good amount on your wand so it doesn't look faded or creased, but not so much that it feels heavy on your eyelid.hope you liked this post, please follow my blog for weekly updates, tell your friends :)xx
