Makeup Monday! - Makeup Tips for Your Eyecolour

Step One: Find Your Eye Colour

(For our lovely brown eyed ladies, look at the orange colour)

Step Two: Find Your 

Complimentary Colours and Colour Families

Tip 1: Find your complimentary eye shadow colour by looking at the colour wheel and seeing what is on the opposite side of it.
             Ex. If I have green eyes, my complimentary colours would be purples like Magenta

Tip 2:  If you want a more natural look, wear colours that are from the same colour family as your eye colour; but make sure the eye shadow is always softer than your actual eye colour
          Ex. If you have brown eyes, wear a soft brown.
          Ex. If you have blue eyes, wear a soft blue.

OR

Wear anything that your heart desires!
