How To Choose Your Best Eye Shadow Colour

In this video, make-up expert Mandy Jhamat teaches which eye shadow colour is most flattering for your eye colour. She also shares tips and advice for beginners on what kind of eye shadows to wear.

So, how to choose the best eye shadow color? Now, this really depends on what kind of look you are going for. I would say if you're a complete novice, then I would start with very neutral shades. So, just to use my palette, these kinds of tones here, we've got very neutral kind of skin tone colors which are perfect if you're either a beginner and they also suit more or less every different eye color.

So, whether you've got dark brown eyes, bright blue, or green, or hazel, these kinds of colors are really going to suit everybody. Greens and blues are really good for brown. If you've got dark brown eyes, also, if you've got even darker black eyes and also people with blue eyes, surprisingly, blue shadow is quite flattering.

Pinks and mauves - these are probably the most difficult color range to wear on your eyes. And I would suggest staying clear of these until you've really kind of experimented with others. And I would kind of stick to brown eyes, hazel eyes, and possibly green.

Blacks and browns - these are also kind of like your neutrals. So, you'll find that most different eye colors, blacks and browns are generally quite flattering. The thing to bear in mind, also, apart from the actual color of the eye shadow, is whether it's a glitter, a pearlized or a completely matte eye shadow.

Matte eye shadow is going to be, again, the most flattering for all different eye colors, skin type, ages. If you're a bit more mature, definitely stay away from the glitters and also the pearlized ones. And if you're kind of younger, then you can really experiment with those types of eye shadows.

And then, that's how you can choose your best eye shadow color. .
