Today I am trying out a new eye look with our brand new Addiction eye shadow palette #5.  The first and obvious fact is that bright, colorful makeup will draw attention to you. You really want to achieve a good balance and even out your complexion before you go adding in all these intense colors.
Correcting any darkness you may have under your eyes is essential and is the No. 1 tip for wearing a bright, colored eye shadow. Dark circles paired with a purple or blue eye shadow is certainly not a good look, and will not enhance anyoneâs beauty.
Try to remember this. Itâs not always about the color itself. Itâs about the whole look incorporating the color. Color has many properties which include hue, tint, shade, tone, saturation, lightness, darkness and intensity. Chances are there is a shade of every color out there for your skin tone. Donât be afraid; just remember how important it is to achieve the balance in your face before you enter tropical territories.
A few tips in the event you want to step out of the box and add some color to your makeup regimen:
- Dark Circles: Correct and/or brighten (cancel out darkness) with a concealer and focus on brightening.
- Blush or Bronzer: You may be thinking, âHold on, more color?â and you may not need if you have a rich pigmented skin. Itâs really just about filling in that large area of flesh -your cheeks- with a subtle touch of a complimentary color.
- Priming your lid: This might be a special time for your bold lid, so you might as well make the best of it! An eye shadow primer will do wonders, and is strongly recommended. A tiny bit goes a long way and in addition to the color popping even more, it helps to prevent creasing and last.
