Question

How do i wear flashy eye shadow colors without looking dumb?

Answer 1

Only p**n stars can get away with it!  The ones from the eighties.

Answer 2

dont put the eyeshadow above where your eye lid creases...in other words not near or on your brow bone...and put on some grey or black eyeliner on the inner lashline to balance it out

that is how i wear mine and i get compliments all of the time

Answer 3

Go subtle with it and have it match your outfit, but don't do it when wearing everyday clothing, do it when dressing up.

Answer 4

Make sure they are thick and even. I usually dip my makeup brush in water or l**k it beforehand because this makes the eye shadow go on thicker and brighter. Try to wear contacts instead of glasses if you have them. Also, I usually think a lot of mascara instead of any eyeliner works best with this. Most of all, just have confidence and have fun!  

Answer 5

Put it on then use a cotton ball or a shadow blending brush & get it toned a little bit.  

Answer 6

only play up your eyes. THATS IT. keep everything simple. thats key. you wont look crazy if your eyes are the only exotic thing going on. just like you're confident enough to wear such flashy eye makeup.

Answer 7

Don't cover your entire lids in the color. Just put it on your eye lid up to the crease. Don't put it under your eyebrows, put a shimmery light brown on that part so you can only see the color when you close or blink your eyes. Also, I put a thin line on the bottom of my eye, half way to the end like it was eyeliner. I've never received bad comments on it either. Good Luck!

Answer 8

Go on youtube.com, click channels, and type in eyelovemac,

or wubearkitten..

They have tutorials.

Answer 9

you will probably look dumb no matter what in the eyes of conforming small minded uncreative simpletons....

i personally love flashy bright eyeshadow and say go for it and s***w everyone else.

Answer 10

don't pile it on. just go light, and trust me- if it's shiny enough- a little will go a long way..

you  don't want to look like a show girl from Vegas, but you-don't't want to make it look like everytime the light hits it, your eye has a twitch.

make sure the colors match, if you're doing more than one. make sure they blend. DO NOT, i repeat DO NOT look like a five year old's barbie doll. or at least try not to. \

thank

Answer 11

Start light! It's much easier to darken gradually rather than to slap it on and try to lighten it up once you realize you've gone overboard. Try using ONE wild color at a time on a small area of your eye as a highlight color. Work your way up to the flashy look.

Answer 12

Just do it.

LOL.

Answer 13

Just don't put alot on, and don't wear it every day.

I knew this girl in high school... very pretty girl but she looked like a clown because she way over did it on the eye color.

Just try it out and ask a honest friend for their honest opinion, just make sure you don't over do it.

Answer 18

you have to wear the eye color shadow that fiits your eye color. if you have brown eyes, you should wear brown and purple. good luck, look it upo on neutogena.com.. :]

Answer 19

Don't cake on the makeup-- use it very lightly, but noticeable.

Also, be sure to pair the eye makeup with your blouse, shoes, etc.

And when you DO wear the flashy eye colors, don't appear to be apprehensive about it. Bat your lashes and be confident about the decision you made. People will point and criticize if they sense you're not completely sure of yourself. Be CONFIDENT when making that creative decision.

Good luck!
