Choosing shadows: tips from makeup artists

To find the perfect palette for your needs, we recommend listening to the advice of experts:

• the palette should contain both light and dark shades that are combined with each other. You also need at least one neutral refill and one shimmery refill;
• if you are not professionally engaged in makeup, you can take a closer look at the palettes with an already selected set, for example, for a smokey ice or a basic make-up;
• beginners are better off starting small. Choose palettes with a small number of shades (4-8 refills), and then move on to large palettes;
• it is not necessary to use all refills in the palette. It is better to apply light shades to the space under the eyebrows and to the inner corners of the eyes, and dark shades along the lash line.

How to choose shades for your color type?

We are sure you have noticed that different shades of shadows look completely different on different people. Someone suits green, allowing them to make their eyes more expressive, while for someone the same shade creates the effect of tired eyes.

It depends on the color type of the girl. There are only four of them:

• winter - dark eyes and hair, but fair skin. It is better for such girls to choose cold shades, avoiding nude and coffee tones. Only winter girls can boast the perfect make-up in blue, plum and dark green shades. For the rest, these colors are contraindicated;
• spring - light eyes and hair, but eyebrows and eyelashes a tone or two darker. Warm palettes (peach, cappuccino, mocha) will do. Of the cold tones on a spring girl, only light lilac and blue look;
• summer - blonde or bronze hair, gray-green or blue eyes. It is better for the summer girl to dwell on grayish shadows, as well as nude and gold;
• autumn - dark hair, brown, green or dark gray eyes.It is better for such women to choose the tones of their color type (bronze, brown, nude) or contrasting shades. Don't be afraid of bright colors, but give up blues and blues.

Eyeshadow is the basic makeup that any woman has in her makeup bag. Naturally, it is worth using only high-quality and safe products that suit your color type.
