How to combine colored shadows
If you are not used to using colored eyeshadows, know that it is easy to include them in your daily life. We have listed some color combinations for you to use on various occasions and to know which shades harmonize well with others. Check out:
- Blue: As this color has several nuances, it is possible to combine several shades of blue in the same makeup, such as darker navy blue with a lighter turquoise. Another possibility is to blend with neutral colors like brown to blur in the corner of the eye. To dare, the tip is to use blue combined with other bright colors such as orange and purple.
- Rose: For the day, the tip is to mix pink with other warm colors, such as orange tones, leaving the make illuminated. For evening events, bet on blending pink with dark colors at the corner of the eye, such as black, creating the smokey eye effect. There is also the option of monochromatic combination with various shades of pink or red.
- Purple: Just like pink, the shades of purple are easy to match. You can compose the make by mixing purple with cool shades like blue. For the day, the smoky lilac tones are soft, leaving the most delicate makeup. And for the night, the color can be combined with black and a lot of glitter, making your look bright!
- Green: Like other shadows, you can compose a monochromatic look with various shades of green, such as lime green, through the emerald and ending with a darker shade, like moss. You can still combine contrasting shades, like orange, or bet on a lot of brilliance with gold.
- Orange: Versatile, this color can be combined with just illuminator to highlight the look and is also widely used as the transition tone of many makeups. For a natural effect, smudge the orange shade well and finish with a neutral color such as brown. In very colorful makes, you can mix orange with contrasting shades, such as blue and green. Of course, for a "warm" look, bet on orange with shades of pink or yellow.
As you can see, there are no definite rules! Just match it to your taste and the effect you want to create!
