From LoveToKnow Buy

If you're looking to accentuate the color of your eyes, or if you simply like makeup, chances are you’re going to want to buy eyeshadow. The choices that await you can be overwhelming, but if you follow the advice below for selecting and purchasing eyeshadow, you’ll have your lids looking beautiful and striking in no time at all.

How to Buy Eyeshadow

Tips for buying eyeshadow
  1. Begin by heading out to a department store cosmetics section, or to a store that specializes in cosmetics. Check out the selection of eyeshadow, and try to determine which colors work best for you. If you need help with figuring out what colors look good on you, ask a salesperson, or bring along a friend or family member for advice and commentary.
  2. Look for colors that will compliment not only your eye color, but also your skin color. Do not go with colors that match your eye color exactly. Choose colors that lightly contrast the color of your eyes. You’ll be best off going with natural, light colors—dark colors will minimize your eyes. Know that brown eyes work well with dark charcoal colors, soft tans with traces of pink for blue eyes, and khaki with traces of yellow for green eyes.
  3. Think about your wardrobe—will the eyeshadows you’re considering purchasing go well with the clothes you have at home? Also, try to avoid bright, garish eyeshadow colors. Such colors most likely won’t compliment your eyes—all they’ll do is draw attention to your eyelids!
  4. Now it’s time to test some of the colors you’ve chosen. Be sure to clean your eyelid area with a damp towel or brush before application. Gently apply the eyeshadow—be careful not to smear it on thickly, as this will make it harder to remove for when you go to try on different colors.
  5. Eyeliner is essential in completing the compliment that eyeshadow will pay to your eyes. Select a medium or dark eyeliner color for lining your eyes. Always apply the liner before you apply eyeshadow.

Caution

If you are a contact lens wearer, you should proceed with extreme caution when putting on eyeshadow and eyeliner. Eyeshadow in contact lenses can cause extreme irritation—if eyeshadow should get in one of your lenses, remove and clean the lens immediately.
