Many women have problems finding the right eye shadow colors to compliment their eye color. Here are some tips from our professional makeup artists that are easy for everyone to follow, and that will help you get a beautiful look just for you! First of all, look in the mirror and identify your eye color, then go with the following guideline to find your eye shadow colors.

Blue or Bluish Gray Eyes: Silver or Brown eye shadow to compliment your eye colors.

Tips: using Elain’s Silver Sparkle Stick as eye shadow base topped with Silver Catch Me Eye Shadow, or Elain’s Mocha Bronze Sparkle Stick as eye shadow base under Bronze Star Catch Me Eye Shadow.

Green Eyes: Purple or Brown eye shadow to compliment your eye colors.

Tips: using Elain’s Violet Sparkle Stick underneath Violet Star Catch Me Eye Shadow then finish the look with Duet Eyeliner in Purple. For a more dramatic effect, use red undertones like those found in our Bronze Power Electric Eye duo.

Brown Eyes:

Brown eyes are fun because they have different undertones to them. Look in the mirror and identify the dominant undertone in your eye (what color do you see in the brown?)
a) If you see a Golden Yellow undertone: Purple or Green Gold eye shadow.

Tips: Purple Star Catch Me Eye Shadow. If you would prefer gold tones, try our Passion Bond Electric Eyes Duo on top of Gold Sparkle Stick.
b) If you see an Orange undertone: Blue eye shadow

Tips: use Elain Aqua Sparkle Stick lightly underneath Elain’s Love Cleo or Indigo Dream Electric Eye’s duo.
c) If you see a Dark Brown undertone: Green eye shadow

Tips: Olive Green Sparkle Stick all over the eyelid topped with Green Star Catch Me Eye Shadow, highlight your brow bone with Champagne Star Catch Me Powder. To really make the look complete, use Elain’s Olive Green Duet Eyeliner.

Hazel Eyes:

Hazel eyes are a mixture of yellow, green, and brown. Every hazel eye will have a different combination of those colors so you’ll want to choose whether you want your eyes to look more yellow or green then follow the guide above.

Remember, makeup is an art, your face is the canvas – have fun, be bold, and try some new colors!

Elain Fall Trend Report 09

Fall ’09 blew in with intense passion. A virtual feast for the eyes as models rocked smokey shades ranging from teal to amethyst. Fingers were adorned with inky black nails tinted with everything from gold to pink and eyebrows arched with attitude. When the eyes weren’t smoking, they were barely there and the lips took center stage in shades of rich burgundy and jet black backed by flawless skin.

How do we translate fall trend into everyday wear? Consider which feature you want to emphasize then be bold. Think intensity as in a blended, bold smokey eye done in teal. Start by putting Elain’s Olive Green Sparkle Stick all over the eyelid up into the crease then pack on the dark blue from Electric Eyes Love Cleo duo fading the edges up and out with your blending brush – don’t forget to smudge some under your lower lashes. Line your eyes with Duet Eyeliner in Black using the pencil inside the inner rim of your eyes and along the upper lashline to increase the intensity. Finish off with two coats of 3-D Electric Lash on both upper and lower lashes. Voila!

If you really want to create the black lip but are afraid to go all the way… try this: Using Duet Eyeliner pencil in Black, gently line your lips and smudge the black inward leaving the center of your lip color showing then top it with Sexy Rouge Bijou Beam blending well.

As always, don’t bend yourself to trend, make trend work for you. Until next time…
