Do you have brown eyes? Everything is possible. Use brown, military green, bronze color, dark blue to reinforce the dark side and pearl or mauve pastel colors to brighten the look.
The technique: Apply a light eyeshadow on the base of the eyelids. It then fades a darker color in the outer corner of the eye, going outwards. Finish with a light touch in the inner corner. To enhance the look, apply a white eyeshadow under the eyebrows. For extra shine, put a touch of iridescent powder in the middle of the upper lids, on the base of the lashes.
If you like the luminous effect, opt for iridescent cream eyeshadows. Apply soft touches of color on the eyelid and spread them with your fingers. Do not put too much on, so as not to load the eyelid, except if you want a final metallic effect.
If you prefer a velvety effect, apply a powder eyeshadow, playing with the shades of color. At the base of the lashes, like an eyeliner, apply a dark color with the brush and then put a softer shade on the eyelid, blending with a tip of the sponge.
