Question:
Do I have wear eyeshadow that matches my eye colour?
S. Lucas, Newmarket, Qld.
Answer:
Thank goodness the days when accessorising meant matching your bag to your shoes are long gone and the same applies to make-up.
Forget co-ordinating lip and nail shades!
Kent Vaughan, international make-up artist for Estée Lauder, says, “I like to choose colours that compliment rather than match a person’s eye colour. You can lose your blue eyes if there is blue shadow all over the lid, while opposite colours can really bring out the eye colour. For blue eyes, try gold shadow. For brown eyes, plums and pinks are a great contrast. I find women with green eyes can experiment with the broadest spectrum of colours – blues, golds or plums, in varying intensities, can be worn individually or blended together for maximum effect.”
