I have really pale skin and dark green eyes...Usually hazel, and i have circles under my eyes (theyre inherited but i still use a bit of concealer over it)..anyway....ive been trying to find the right eyeshadow colour to bring out the green in my eyes. Ive used green which does bring the green in my eyes out a bit, Ive tried a light brown aswell but it gets boring. I want something different, and please dont suggest a lilac or purple to bring out the green because ive tried it and it looks awful as it just makes me look like ive been beaten up or something! Thaanks (: x
Eyeshadow colourss for my eyes and skin?
I have the EXACT same problem as you, here's what I do:
Use a creamy eyeshadow on the lid, in a shade just a bit darker than your skin. It's best to use a light, shimmery coral or pink color, depending on your skin tone - w/ gold tones, you should use coral, w/ pink or yellow tones, use pink. Then line the crease with a dark brown. Be careful not to put too much on the brush at once, as this will result in caking. Use a small, square brush or a brush with an angled tip.
Right above the crease, use any shade that's darker than your skin but lighter than the brown you used on the crease of your eye. Nothing too dramatic, please!... but experiment with different shades of lilac, pink, gold, whatever looks best with your eyes, skin, and hair. A larger brush is best for this, and you should use small strokes going up and out from the inner lid. Blend upwards with your fingertips to avoid a harsh line.
Next, take a flat porcelain shade (that means no glitter!) and apply it just under your brows. If your eyebrows are thick, groom them. If they are thin, pencil them in, then use a foam applicator to smooth away any harsh lines.
If you aren't good with eyeliner, skip this step: take a chocolate brown or chestnut pencil liner, and draw along the outer edges of your eyes, top and bottom. The line should be thicker on the top lid. Smudge with an angled eyeliner brush or a q-tip.
Use dark brown volumizing mascara - never black, since you have pale skin - and keep the rest of your makeup simple, so the focus is on your eyes. Shimmery, natural lips go great with this look.
Hope this helps!

Reply:Truly in my opnion if your really pale then id go for a very suttle natrual tone shadow and maybe apply some heavier mascara and maybe line the top of your lids rather than the inside and give your eyes a bit of a smoky appeal.. BTW im sure your eyes are ALOT more apparent than you think. Good luck and im sorry if this didnt give ya some help
Reply:I've got green eyes and light skin although i've got fair hair. I use Gentle blues and soft pinks depending on what im wearing but i swear by white base coat with grey on th crease and gently flicked up the side blend it up for a shadowed look.
Reply:try a sliver or a white
or maybe a pale pink
the colours will clash beautifully making your eyes stand out
just experiment with them colours abit
