blackWhat color eyeshadow should i wear with a lime green and navy blue tank top?
like a pale blue would be totally cute.
First off don't wear the tank but if you do trust me don't match the eyeshadow to it
I'd go with the smokey eye, it will look amazing! If you 'd match either color it would look like you try too hard and want to give people the sense that your beauty/style sense comes natural. This is what to do and how to do it as if you were a pro. There's also some other tips and what you need! Have fun and good luck!








Here's How:


Prep the lid. The key to keeping eyeshadow from melting into your eyelid crease as the day goes on is to kept eyelids oil-free. To do this start with an eyeshadow base (also called ';primer';). I prefer to dab at bit of MAC's 'paint' on lids before shadow application. Or try Fresh Freshface Perfecting Eye Primer.








Apply eyeliner. If you're going for a typical black, brown or gray smoky eye, apply liner in one of those colors above the upper lash line, drawing line thicker in the middle of eye. If your opting for a jewel-toned eye (violet makes a gorgeous smoky eye), line eyes with a purple, blue or deep green liner.








Blend in color on bottom lashes For color on the bottom (a key smoky eye look) you'll want a lighter eyeliner. The key is to ';smudge it.'; You can also apply a bit of shadow to get full smudge effect.








Apply light base color Again, the key to a smoky eye is pairing a lighter base with the darker hue. I prefer a nice cream shade for my base. Sweep a light, shimmery shadow over the lids to your browbone. I love Stila's whipped eye shadows $20. The moist ';mousse'; consistency seems to stay on forever. My favorite colors are taupe and pearl.








Blend in darker color, but keep dark color below the crease. Now that you have the base and eyeliner on, it's time to get the smoky effect. You need a darker eyeshadow shade. Using an eyeshadow brush blend in color starting at your lash line, blending up. Make sure to blend color into the lash line so the eye liner disappears. Stop deep color at crease.








Doublecheck your work Make sure eyes match and blend color with a Q-tip if need be.








Finish with several coats of volumizing mascara. Tried and true mascaras (featured in ';Elle'; magazine's March 2006 issue) include DiorShow Mascara %26amp; L'Oreal Paris Volume Shocking Mascara. Elle's writer says they are the best volumizers she's tried.








Tips:


Remember to keep lips nude. When applying strong makeup (like smoky eyes or red lips) put the focus on either eyes or lips, never both. (Think Angelina Jolie: She either plays up her huge eyes or her huge lips, never both. If she did, she'd look like a clown).


For a bit of fun, try a blue or purple mascara. It will make blue eyes ';pop.';


Liner doesn't have to come in pencil form. Makeup experts know eyeshadows make some of the best eyeliners. To do this take an eyeliner brush (available at Sephora, MAC or any dept store), wet it, then dab wet brush into the dark shadow. This allows for a deep, precise line. You can also use the dark shadows without wetting brush first. Either way, eyeliner is necessary for smoky eye.


This season go jewel-toned (blue is great for you blue-eyed girls) and keep your eyes smoky but stay away from dark browns and black. Instead, go for a deep purple, a gold-brown or any of the many vibrant colors in this year.


What You Need:


Eye primer (you don't need it, but it's great for keeping shadow in place)


2 Shadows: One light, one darker


Eyeliner


Makeup brushes


Mascara
Something sheer and shimmery. I think colored eye shadow is gaudy.
What color are your eyes? Different colors will be more complementary than others. Try the site below and you will see what colors are best for your hair, skin and eye color.
you shouldnt match your eyeshadow with ur top - it looks tacky. go with whatever color eyes you have (for example =: gray eyes = gray eyeshadow) and you could even go with white/ close to your skin color eyeshadow because they will make your eyes glow and then just add the eyeliner that is closest to the color of your eyes = simple yet pretty. : )
a nice baby blue with black mascara %26amp; eyeliner!! that would look soo pretty!! Great luck! =D
Icy blue with china blue or navy blue liner. Fade out the dark blue into the light blue with a brush for a blended look. Highlight with silver.
seagreen with abit silver sparkle
smokey eye= ah-dorable. :)
okay. NEVER pick an eyeshadow based on your clothing color. i do sometimes to have a bit of fun. but much more important is your skin tone and eye/hair color.





*Baby blues go best with taupes, beige, gold, peach or cantaloupe. Gray and purple are good too.


*Emerald gems are offset with bronze, caramel, gold and brown. Plums and apricot also work.


*Hazel hues are nicely matched with deep brown and golden shades. Maybe give greens and purple a try too.


*Brown-eyed girls can play up any and all of the neutral tones. Also look into navy, blues and charcoal.
