Gray eyeshadows

Gray eyeshadows

Every person is unique. Even the twins have certain, not always even visible to the eye distinctive features in appearance. Gray eyes are considered to be universal, because they go both to blondes and brunettes, dark-skinned young ladies and girls with pale skin.

In nature there is no “pure” shade of gray eyes. Often, the iris is characterized by bluish or green patches. Probably, the majority of owners of gray eyes have often heard in their address a comparison with a chameleon. Indeed, depending on the color of clothes, make-up style and the tone of the shadows, the shade of the cornea may vary.

Shadows for gray eyes - an optional element of makeup, but thanks to them you can completely change and dramatically change their appearance.

What colors are suitable?

Gray eyes often carry the second name - chameleons. Pay attention to what shade the iris gets near the water - the eyes become gray-blue. And in the bright sun can transform into sky blue. If, for example, you choose a wardrobe for an image in rich shades of green, then you will notice how gray eyes will turn gray-green or even with an emerald shimmer.

Another advantage of owners of gray eyes is that they do not need to use shadows in make-up in order to achieve greater showiness of the image. It is enough to make an eyeliner along the contour of the upper and partially lower eyelids. However, if you want to make your eyes more attractive and expressive, give preference to a palette of beige, sandy and dusty-white shades of shadows. Make-up with lilac and violet colors will look harmonious.

But rich pink and dark brown tones are undesirable for women with gray eyes. By themselves, these colors are very beautiful and with the right make-up can effectively look at the gray-eyed young ladies. But makeup with the use of brick-pink and warm dark brown tones is better to entrust the hands of professional makeup artists.

The fashion trends of the past few seasons are the shadows of a bronze, silver and pearl tone. Most often they are used to create a stylish evening look.

How to choose cosmetics?

All girls and women use decorative cosmetics, but, unfortunately, not every one of them knows the rules that should be followed when choosing eye shadows. First of all, you do not need to buy cheap cosmetic products of unknown companies. Despite the overpriced, it is better to overpay and buy a quality product of one of the famous brands.

It is also important to pay attention to the expiration date, because expired cosmetics badly falls, rolls, has an uneven tone, etc. However, this is not such a misfortune in comparison with the fact that expired goods often negatively affect the human body. To avoid health problems do not forget to look at the shelf life of the purchased goods. Component composition is another equally important criterion for choosing decorative cosmetics. Especially this question is important to those people who have a predisposition to allergic reactions.

When choosing cosmetics, girls try to focus not only on the color of their hair, but also on the shade and features of the skin. In order not to lose my way with the tone of the shadows, the following recommendations will come to the rescue:
