Which eyeshadow colour highlights blue eyes?

Curious about the perfect eyeshadow for blue eyes? A fundamental beauty tip for blue eyes is that the deeper the blue hue, the more vibrant the colours can be. Richer shades effectively accentuate the intensity of blue eyes.

If you enjoy playing with various colours, consider using eyeshadow palettes that offer a range of complementary shades. However, be cautious not to blend too many diverse colours from various groups, as this can overwhelm your look with too much colour.

Beauty rule: The darker the blue, the stronger the eyeshadow colour

Which eyeshadow for green eyes?

If you have mysterious green eyes, you are quite fortunate as green is the rarest eye colour. Being versatile, green eyes complement nearly all eyeshadow shades beautifully. Here's a tip: Coordinate your eyeshadow with your hair colour. Dark hair pairs well with darker shadows, while lighter hair goes best with softer, lighter shades. When enhancing green eyes with eyeshadow, remember not to overdo it with multiple colours to avoid a chaotic or overly colourful appearance.

Which eyeshadow colours for droopy eyelids?

A good basis

A primer can prevent the eye shadow from slipping into the crease- this extends its durability on the eyelid.

When choosing colors for droopy eyelids, you should keep in mind that light and neutral colours can optically open the eyes and make them appear more awake. You can apply these colours as a base on the entire eyelid.  Shimmering or glittery colours on the movable eyelid can also help to conceal droopy eyelids. They reflect the light and draw more attention to the eyelid.

Slightly darker tones in the crease and outer corner of the eye create depth and dimension. Taupe, soft brown or grey tones are ideal for this. Make sure to blend the colours well to avoid harsh lines.  The colour can extend slightly beyond the natural crease so that it remains visible when the eye is open. 

Beauty hack for drooping eyelids

A little highlighter in the inner corner of the eye and on the highest point of the eyebrow opens up the eye even more and highlights it beautifully.
