Eye Shadow Color
Cheat Sheets

International Makeup Artist Robert Jones has suggested the best eye shadow colors for your eyes, based on the color of your eyes. 

 

He says that in order to make your eyes pop, you want to choose your eye shadow colors based on the color of your eyes, rather than the color of your outfit.

 

Here are charts to help you select the best eye shadows for you.

 

  • Highlighters can be used with any eye color. They usually go under the brow and on the lid.
  • Midtones are matte colors that go in the crease and on the brow bone.
  • Accent colors are your fun colors. They can go on the outer half of the lid and up onto the outer half of the brow bone.
  • With all eye colors you want to blend well with quality brushes.

The picture above is a generic application for eye shadow based on an average eye. But most of us are not average. We may have deep set, hooded, prominent, wide set, close set, or droopy.

 

If you text me a face shot of you, looking straight into the camera, no smile, I can tell you what your eye shape is. And then I can send you an instruction card to apply eye shadow for your eye shape.
