Whats my Secret?

 

 

I love using colored eye liner in my waterline. I absolutely love the the extra dimension it give the eyes. Depending of course of your eye color will give that extra "POP" your looking for with your makeup!

 

Let's take a look into color theory for a second.

We want to find out which colors are going to make your eyes "POP" or stand out, so what we are doing here is creating tension. Instead of using brown shadows or liners for brown eyes which isn't going to make the eyes "POP" more blend in with the shadows. This will be fun!

 





• Brown Eyes: We want to use shades of "Purple" Violet is opposite yellow. So when you put purple on a brown eye, the gold (form of yellow) flecks will really show! Blues will also pull out flecks of orange/ bronze. As well as green will also give the appearance of a lighter shade eye color. If we are trying to go for a more natural look we can start by using more mauve colors neutrals shades paired with brown eyeliner. Wild and playful colors such as neon's and pinks will really make the eye pop as well as darker plums paired with dark brown or black eye shadows for a more elegant evening look.

 

• Green/Hazel Eyes: Shades of "Burgundy/Dark Violets/Mauve" …Burgundy and Purple are made with Red. And Red is the opposite Green. More warm undertones such as soft pink and peach will give a more romantic look and adding shimmery bronze will enhance the look. As any blue eyeshadow will really draw out the eye. When turning this looking into a night on the town charcoal grey with metallic bronze will really explode your eyes or you can use forest dark green colors with specks of yellow to really bring out the iris of the eye.



• Blue Eyes: Shades of "Peaches/Orange-Browns" …Peach is a tint of orange. (Remember, tint is taking orange and adding white. So basically it’s a lighter orange) Orange is the opposite of blue. Violet will also bring out the eye to more of an Ice blue. Blue eye shadows no matter how you use them on blue eyes will enhance, pop, and even add drama to the eye for a night out paired with black eyeshadow. Grey and Charcoal can be use day/night for blue eyes and giving your eyes that extra striking effect.
