Very very white girls, those whose veins show through, are the best candidates to wear shadows, clear because they stand out more. The colors that most tend to favor them are pinks, although if they have green or blue eyes they can dare to combine them with shades of those same colors.

If you have brown skin and hair, like Lucy Hale, you have a very wide range of shades of eyeshadow to choose from. The best of all is that you can dare, without any shame, with dark shades, whether brown or black, the most common; or other more daring, such as burgundy or purple.

Choosing an eye shadow that is right for you involves analyzing various aspects of your face. And it is that in addition to the color of the iris and hair, we must also take into account the tone of our skin . Of course, you can always be guided by the ones that are in fashion each season, but you will always be more favored if you choose a tone that suits you especially well.

Tell me what your skin is like and I'll tell you what shade you need

  • Clear skin. They are those whose veins become transparent and burn as soon as a ray of sunlight appears. They are the ones that will best look with shadows in light tones, such as pale pink. As, in addition, these girls usually have light, green or blue eyes, they are also very beautiful with shadows in the same tone . If you have a little darker skin, silver tones are also very flattering.
  • Medium skin. Those with a medium skin tone can go for a ton of shades. Those that most favor them are brown and gold, among which rose gold and bronze stand out. Coral tones also look great .
  • Dark skin. If your skin is olive or black you can dare with vibrant tones such as violet or blue. If they seem a bit excessive, you can always combine them with black tones.

The joker shadow

If you do not want to risk, it is best to opt for shades of nude colors in all its versions. Beige, cream or brown look good on everyone, regardless of skin tone. You only need three shades . To apply them, put the medium tone on the outside of the eyelid and marking the basin. The darkest is placed on the lash line and the lightest in the arch of the eyebrow, the center of the eyelid and the tear duct as an illuminator.
