What color? Which eyeshadow to choose?
Depending on your eye color
For brown eyes , it's super simple! In fact, most shades have a very beautiful finish. The most flattering colors are still plum or purple eyeshadows that will bring out your beautiful brown eyes.
What eyeshadow color is ideal for blue eyes ?
Brighten them up with bronze , terracotta , and orange shades. To accentuate the clarity of your eyes, opt for nude, ash , or chocolate- colored eyeshadows.
To highlight green eyes , opt for pink and purple shades, which will be ideal for making them stand out!
Finally, for gray eyes , go for smoky and silver shades that will brighten up your eyes in the blink of an eye. 😉
Depending on your age
If you have mature skin , opt for more nude shades that will suit you perfectly. For others, it's simple: all colors will match as long as you follow our advice ! 👌
Depending on your skin tone
Our second tip is to determine your skin color . If you have sensitive skin that reddens easily in the sun, you have fair skin . On the other hand, if you have skin that rarely burns and tans more easily , you have dark skin . Finally, if your skin is not sensitive to the sun and you tan very quickly, you have dark skin .
For fair skin , opt for warm shades that warm up the complexion with a stroke of the brush.😉
Those with darker skin have a lot more choice, in fact, all shades work relatively well for their complexion .
Finally, for dark skin, choose more colorful shades. They will add a touch of pep with a stroke of the brush! 🌈
Depending on your clothes
Between colorful makeup and a bright outfit...you have to choose! If you have a very colorful outfit, opt for a more sober makeup to balance it out and keep a touch of sophistication. Finally, if you have a more sober outfit, choose a more colorful makeup that will give your look some pep!

In reality, there are no real rules because both names can be used to talk about creamier or more classic textures. It's up to you to choose the name you prefer!

Wearing lipstick with eyeshadow : is it a good idea?
Obviously! It all depends on the intensity you want to give. If you want to intensify the mouth , do a more discreet eye makeup. Finally, if you want to highlight your eyes with great makeup, go for a more discreet lipstick. Overdoing the mouth and eyes can give an overly dramatic effect and will not necessarily enhance your makeup!
I have an allergy to my eyeshadow : what should I do?
Don't panic! Just change your makeup routine.
Choose hypoallergenic and clean eyeshadows like ours! They'll respect your eyes and prevent allergic reactions.
