  1. 1. Match your eye shadow to your clothes.

    The plus side of this method is that you can create a dramatic look with the combination of shadow and clothing. (Imagine an icy, pale lavender-colored sweater and white pants with matching lavender eye shadow.) Using this method can also help draw attention to your eyes if you're wearing bright or dark-colored clothes that might overpower more subtle eye make-up. The drawback to this approach is while your body may look good in a fuchsia shirt, that doesn't mean your eyes look good surrounded by fuchsia. Furthermore, choosing an eye shadow that matches your clothes and looks good on your eyes can be challenging.

    2. Match your eye shadow to your own natural coloring.

    On the positive side, this method creates a natural look that can be elegant if done dramatically, or simple and clean when applied with a lighter hand. This technique works for all occasions and will match any style or color of clothing. The downside is that, depending on your coloring, this may not be the best approach for you. I have blue eyes and dark brown hair, yet none of those colors work well for me as eye shadow. Also, it can be hard to understand what your natural coloring is and how to find it in an eye shadow. Matching your natural coloring can also be less dramatic than matching your shadow to your clothes.

    Because, choosing eye shadow can be difficult no matter what color your eyes are, here are some basic rules to help you pick your colors:

    Try it out!  The first rule is to experiment. You won't know what looks best on you until you try it. Buy some inexpensive shadows in a wide range of colors and play around. When you've found a color that seems to works with your skin, hair and personal taste, then you can search within that color to find the perfect tone, hue, texture, and quality that works for you.

    Don't be afraid!  Don't be bashful! Mix colors together and see what you get. If you're unsure of a color, test it on the inside center of your forearm. This will give you some idea how the color will look on your skin before you put it on your eyes. Don't test it on the back of your hand, as is usually recommended, since the skin of your hand is usually far darker than the skin of your eyelids. Once you're ready to put on the color, start with a light layer and build up in light layers until you have the darkness and color you want.

    Lavender  Lavender, as well as most pale pinks and pale purples, work well for almost any eye color. They work especially well with blue eyes since they bring out the lighter tones in the eyes and make them seem bluer.

    Smoky  Smoky eyes, if they are appropriate to the occasion, look good on anyone. For the simplest smoky eye:  Line the eyes as closely as possible to the lash line with dark gray or black shadow, or a black eyeliner pencil, or a kohl pencil. Then smudge upward and outward toward the eyebrow and corner of the eye. Smudge the bottom only slightly to soften the line, but don't drag downward because smearing the dark color under your eye will make you look tired. Powder over the pencil, if you use one, with dark gray or black powder to set it and soften it further. Apply mascara and you're done.

    Try some shimmer.  If you're nervous about choosing the wrong color, then don't pick a color! Try putting some body glitter, or even bronzer, above your eye for attention-getting sparkle. If you're adventuresome, and want only a little color, try silver. Don't forget the mascara, though. Nearly nude eyes will need the definition of a coat of mascara.

    Go natural.  Often, the best make-up colors for our face are those we are born with. Most people have a medium shade on their lids, a darker shade in the crease extending to the eyebrow, and a pale shade just below the eyebrow on the bone. Look and see what your colors are and then play them up with colors that are slightly darker or slightly lighter. For hooded eyes apply a slightly lighter shade than your skin on the lid to make them stand out. For eyes that are very prominent, apply a darker shade than your skin on the lid. For the ultimate in natural looks, don't apply any eye shadow at all. Instead, carefully apply mascara for definition, then apply cheek color, and lip color and let your eyes sparkle on their own!

    Colors to avoid:

    There are several colors that seem like perfect matches for blue-eyed folk, which in reality don't work best for blue eyes. But, don't count them out completely. If they work for you, I say go for it!

    Blue  Blue often competes for attention with the natural blue of the eye, and so distracts from the eyes, which should be the center of attention.

    Brown  Brown eye shadow, although it seems the natural opposite of blue eye shadow, tends to clash with blue eyes and make them appear duller. This may be because the warm brown tones are in opposition to the cool blue tones. Instead of reinforcing the blue of the eye, the brown draws attention away from the eye.

    Gold  Gold clashes with blue as well, for the same reason brown does, though if you have tan skin you could possibly make it work. As an alternative, silver works well because it is a cool tone which draws out the blue, and it can add the same attention-grabbing shimmer as gold.
