Choosing Complementary Eyeshadow Shades Based on Color Theory
It’s time to delve into color theory to further refine your eyeshadow choices. Flattering colors can create a striking contrast to really make your natural eye color pop. Experiment with different shades within the color wheel to find the perfect combination that best accentuates your unique eye color and personal style. By understanding color theory and your eye color, you can achieve a variety of makeup looks.
The Best Eyeshadow Colors for Blue Eyes
To play up blue eyes, you can opt for shades that complement and contrast with your eye color: soft, neutral tones like champagne, taupe, and silver can emphasize the blue hue of your eye, while deeper shades such as copper, bronze, and brown can create a striking contrast, intensifying the color. The Morphe Rich & Foiled Artistry Palette- Going Platinum is the way to go.
Start by pressing the shade Gems With Benefits onto the lid with a small detail eye brush. Then move softly through the crease with shade Tauperazzi and buff it in under the bottom lash line. Enhance the upper lash line with shade Jet Worth and blend out the outer corners of the lid, keeping it right to the lid and barely reaching the crease. Gently stamp it on the outer lash line.
To highlight the signature Molten Metal shade called Going Platinum that is in the center of the palette, spritz a small detailed eye brush with our Continuous Setting Mist. Then apply gently to the inner corner of each eye, and line the upper and lower lash line. Your blue eyes will pop against this cool-toned, silvery eye look.
The Best Eyeshadow Colors for Green or Hazel Eyes
To enhance your green eyes, amplify their natural allure with complementary shades.
Earthy tones like warm golds, deep oranges, and olive green can enhance the green in your eyes and bring warmth to your eyeshadow look. For a pop of contrast, consider using purples and plums to make your eyes stand out. To create a mesmerizing effect, experiment with metallics such as gold and bronze eyeshadows to add depth and radiance to your eyes. To really enhance your green eyes, try the Morphe Rich & Foiled Artistry Palette - Rose To Fame.
Use an eye blending brush to apply shade Aristocratic Aura all over the lid, crease, and lower lash line. Take shade Spoiler Alert with a large eye blending brush and soften the edges, pulling the shadow towards the end of the brow.
Make the most of the Molten Metal shade called Rose to Fame by spritzing an angled eye brush with our Continuous Setting Mist and lining your upper lash line. Finish by pressing shade Nepo Beige-y to the inner corners of the eye and just below the brow. Green eyes, snatched.
The Best Eyeshadow Colors for Brown Eyes
To enhance the richness of brown eyes, opt for earthy tones like warm caramels, deep greens, and golden hues. These shades can bring out the warmth and depth of brown eyes, creating a nice and natural look. For a bolder statement, try a smokey look in deep shades reminiscent of fall to make your eyes pop. Shimmering golds and bronzes can add radiance to your brown eyes. Morphe’s Rich & Foiled Artistry Palette - Gold Seeker offers a beautiful selection of these shades, perfect for creating metallic eye looks for brown eyes.
Start by defining your crease with shade Fancy That, blending the shadow to the deepest part of your crease. Next with a shadow definer brush, pat Pretty Penny onto the entire lid. Then using an angled brush, apply a small amount of Dark Money to your natural crease line, creating a subtle cut crease. Apply the same shade to the lower lash line, extending it just past the end of your eye.
Apply the Molten Metal shade Gold Seeker dry – to the inside corners of your eyes. Then spritz the brush with the Continuous Setting Mist and press that same shade to the center of each lid. Stunning brown eyes.
