How do you choose eyeshadow?

[Jean Poutine]

I'm asking because I'm thinking about wearing eyeshadow.

I'm kidding.

I'm trying to build a suitably attractive character to roleplay a diplomatic/persuasive kind of character in a computer game. I'm scrolling through the eye shadow options and I can see it would enhance her looks, but everything I choose is always hideous.

Here's a picture.

I went with tame green for the eyes and light, light brown for the hair. I initially went for green for the eyeshadow to highlight the eyes, but Jesus I dunno how this works.

How do you girls put on eyeshadow?

imo. I'm not the greatest with the eyeshadow.

I use it emphasize something else, example if i'm using something green, i play on the green shades. if i want a more neutral look i go for the greys and browns...

and so on.

You just learn what works for you, really. For brown hair and kinda green eyes I'd recommend a purple or brown, see how that looks.

You could always just go through all the colors and see which one looks least "hideous" haha.

There is bright pink. And lots of it.

It's pretty awesome, albeit not my goal.

eyeshadow is supposed to be a variant shade of ur eye color.....thats wats tends to look best anyway cuz it's purpose it so draw attention to your eyes and make them look brighter and bigger then they actually are, typically u want to go one shade darker then your eye color for the base and use the same color as your eyes or one shade lighter for the highlights.

lmao i kno too much about make up to call myself a guy, been around girls too much i guess >.<

blue eyes = violet/blue/slate/gray

green eyes = green

brown eyes = brown

metallic colors also look good, or a mixture of the proper color and a metallic to create a smokey look
