How to Find the Right Eye Shadow for Your Skin Tone

Fair Skin

Whether it's the red and pink shades that make you look like you haven't slept in days or darker ones that give you a bruised finish. It's tough out there for our fair toned queens but have a little faith. Warm earthy undertones such as gold and bronze, will leave you being the fairest of them all. Add a little shine with soft shades of rose and plum and a dab of highlight on your inner corners, to brighten up your eyes.

We know what you're thinking: "Isn't a light skin tone similar to a fair one?" Not really. Your skin is a touch lighter. So, you have a bit more room to experiment. Step out of your comfort zone and bring out the blue eye shadow! You can rock a blue lid with a neutral colored crease. Or, a wing. One created with a sharp blue liner – to brighten up your eyes.

You're spoiled with choices. Whether your undertone is cool or warm, you can rock almost any color, making the search for the perfect palette a breeze. Be sure not to shy away from deep hues or metallic shadows. Also, rose gold and bronze shades are flattering for both undertones. If your skin leans towards a medium-warm shade, add a touch of burgundy or pink shimmer to spice up your look. If you have a more medium- neutral tone, lavender and, or, gray hues will bring out your inner diva.

You are a naturally bronzed goddess but finding the right shade to complement your completion can be quite a challenge. So, show off your naturally sun-kissed skin with gold and bronzed hues. If you want to play it up with bold colors, go for rich jewel shades like deep blues and purples. Or, even a stunning bedazzled emerald green. You'll definitely look like royalty.

It's no secret that you can rock any shade on the color wheel, while looking fabulous no matter your undertone. You were born to stand out. Bold colors can be intimidating, but not for you dark toned beauties. It's time to experiment with bright shades of yellow, pink, and green – they will leave you looking fly.

Tip: use shimmery shades of metallic and burgundy during the day. Come night time, jazz it up with a luminous cat eye.
