How do i bring out my eye color? the color shades from almay don't work because my eyes are inbetween colors?

The almay color line's hazel is greener than my eye. Their brown is too dark.





I don't really have hazel eyes, i don't have chocolate brown either.


I have light brown eyes with a gold tint.





A FANTASTIC eye shadow on me is mac eye shadow in woodwinked which is a warm antique gold.


I'm just saying that to give an idea of what looks good.How do i bring out my eye color? the color shades from almay don't work because my eyes are inbetween colors?
you know i actually have a very simalar eye color to what your discribing.


my eyes arent completely brown but they arent green or hazel either.


they're a bit of all three.


they're like...light brown(or dark goldish as you described) with a little bit of green in them too.


[my dads eyes are brown, my moms are grey/green]


i got both.


ive been to a couple different makeup artists because i had trouble finding a color that made the green in my eyes pop because thats my favorite part.


but what looks best on this color, honestly is dark amber colors.


i had one called amber lights from mac that was beaaaaaautiful.


and i ran out of it so now i use an assortment of the same color from urban decay.


generally i use a white brush on right in the inner corners of my eyes and just bring it out a little on the top and the bottom.


and progress from the left to the right on my right eye and visa versa with my left eye into darker amber color and then finally a dusty brown at the outer corners. and brush the darker brown thinly under my bottom eyelashes instead of heavy eyeliner.


then i put on mascara and im good to go.


try it :DHow do i bring out my eye color? the color shades from almay don't work because my eyes are inbetween colors?

Eyeshadow application techniques











The manner in which you apply eyeshadow depends on the texture of your makeup, the shape of your eyes, and the situation you are making up for. Using different colours, textures, and application techniques, you can—depending on the image you want to achieve—accentuate or soften your eyes, create a certain mood, or improve your eye shape if you are not happy with it.





Use the right technique for the texture


Creamy eyeshadow


Creamy eyeshadow has a lightweight skin-like texture, is easy to apply and blend, stays long, and does not crease if not overloaded. However, this product contains of a lot of shimmer which accentuates the structure of the skin—not a great choice for mature women.





Creamy texture is best for single colour application. Because this type of eyeshadow blends so well, don’t use more than two colours—three shades would create a greyish mess on your eyelids. The same undesirable effect may occur if you use creamy eyeshadow together with creamy eyeliner on the upper eyelid.





For foolproof application of creamy eyeshadow, use your fingertip. If you use two shades in creamy texture, blend the definition shade with a small synthetic brush.





Loose powder eyeshadow


Loose powder eyeshadow with a lot of tiny glitter—which is very difficult to press into compact form—gives you an instantly glamorous effect; however, these products are more about shine than colour. Loose powder is very good as a base pastel colour—especially for mature eyes—because it doesn’t contain shimmer or strong pigments. Apply loose powder with a large base brush all over the eyelid.





Pressed powder eyeshadow


Pressed powder eyeshadow is easy to apply and blend, and has excellent staying power. High-quality powder eyeshadow is heavily pigmented, which means that the colour reveals itself with the first stroke and will not fade. As a rule, matte eyeshadow has more sheer texture, while shimmer (mica particles) gives eyeshadow a rich texture that intensifies the colour.





This form of eyeshadow is applied with a dry sponge applicator, and then blended with a brush. This way you avoid eyeshadow falling off the brush, plus you keep your brushes clear of colour, fresh for blending. It’s a good idea to use brushes of different sizes for different purposes: blend base colour with the largest brush, highlighting and accent colours with a medium brush, and contouring shadows in the crease and along the lash line with the smallest brush.





Make the most with shading and highlighting


If you have small or deep-set eyes, don’t outline the contour of your eye with a dark colour. Apply base eyeshadow with light shimmer on the entire eyelid to open up the eyes, highlighting with a light iridescent shade under the eyebrow. Medium-thick eyeliner along and beyond the upper lash line will elongate your eyes.


For protruding eyes, matte eyeshadows are preferable to iridescent as base and contouring colours. In the crease, blend contouring colour halfway down to the lashes; this way you will visibly shrink the size of the mobile lid. Curling your lashes may be the best remedy to reduce bulginess.


Mature eyes look best with light base eyeshadow all over the eyelid and soft highlighter under the eyebrow. “Lift” your eyes by applying colour strictly above your upper eyelid; keep the sides and lower lid free of contouring eyeshadow. Use brown or grey mascara instead of black.


With Asian eyes, don’t attempt to draw a line above your natural crease with a dark colour; instead, try to create the illusion of eyelids by applying bright metallic eyeshadow on and above the crease. It should occupy about one third of the space between your lashes and eyebrows. Be aware that this technique works well only if your eyelids aren’t saggy.


On wide-set eyes, draw your shading line in the crease closer to the inner corner, but don’t deliberately try to make the eyes appear closer by applying dark eyeshadow next to your nose. Apply eyeshadow within the border defined by the eye shape, and don’t whiten your inner corners.





Show it off, or keep it simple


The simplest way to put on eyeshadow for a quick makeup fix is to apply a base colour over the entire eyelid, up to the eyebrows; creamy or loose powder eyeshadow are best for this technique.





For a more polished look, use two colour-coordinated shadows in light and dark shades. Apply the light shade under the eyebrow, on the upper mobile lid, and on the lower lid in the inside corner of the eye. Concentrate darker eyeshadow on the outer corner of the eye, along the lashes, and in the crease.


For sophisticated evening makeup, use up to four colours of eyeshadow:


Apply a pastel base colour all over the eyelid.


The darkest contouring shade goes in the crease and along the lashes.


A more vibrant iridescent accent colour is applied to the mobile lid and slightly above, in the centre of the eyes.


Shimmery, very light highlighter can be applied on the brow bone and in the inner corners of the eyes.








Remember: adding more colour means that you will need to layer your eyeshadow. Your layers will be thinner if you use a high-quality product that is heavily pigmented. The less you apply, the better it will look and stay on your eyelids.
I have the same problem and I use a combo of browns..it looks real sexy, but I can make it look natural for day wear. light purples (lavendar) ...I also use dark brown mascara sometimes...try the brown shadows - I think you'll like it! I also use a goldish - metallic brown for going out
If you have a gold tint then bring it out with a deep kind of dark shade of gold.. NOT YELLOW
If you want to find out which color fits your eye color the best, then follow these instructions.


1. go to youtube


2. type in enkoremakeup color wheel


3. watch it


there are two parts.
The Mac eye shadow in Woodwinked is great, for your eyes you should also try a darker brownish golden like Soba, and a great highlighter colour like All That Glitters, those would really bring out your eyes.





Hope that helps!!
