Naturalneptune5carl, ...thank you for replying, but just adding to the list doesn't help unless you explain, i have no problem getting an eye shadow close to my skin tone, is that what you were suggesting?Dulce LunaThe answer to this would also depend on your skin tone too you know. Like I know once in the 8th grade I had a habit of putting on gold eye shadow and while it looked good with my eyecolor, because of my skintone it made me look like a clown.HexxieHi Neptune, how are ya girl?!Now yer talkin my language! I'm a make-up artist If I recall correctly, you had said somewhere else that your skin is pretty dark, is that right? If so, then the darker shades will actually look more subtle and natural on you. If you want to make your eyes stand out, for say a night time look, then a metallic gold would be stunning. For a day time look that would make your eyes stand out you can do any light pastel-ish shade. What's your favorite color? Anyone can wear any color just sometimes a particular shade of said color might be needed. Take purple for example (my favorite). Try to find a light non sparkley, matte pastel purple. Line your upper eyelashes 1st with a white eyeliner. Smudge it in a bit with your finger or brush. Then layer the eyeshadow over the white liner and up into your crease. Blend, blend, blend! Leave the area under your brows bare for day or add a shimery highlighter for night. Pick colors that you are drawn to because you will feel good, and that's key. ------------------`Who are you?' said the Caterpillar. This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation.
