This crucial aspect is the backbone of makeup application, influencing every choice from foundation to eye makeup.
Colour Theory The Science Behind Beauty:
Colour theory is the science that explains why certain colours look better on you than others. It's been a recurring theme throughout my book, guiding choices for foundation, concealer, contouring, blusher, lipstick, and now eye makeup.
Unlocking Your Best Eye Makeup Looks:

Enhancing the natural beauty of your eyes with makeup is an art, and choosing the right eyeshadow colours can make all the difference. This guide explores how to select shades that complement and accentuate various eye colours, harmonize with skin tones, and create stunning contrasts for captivating looks.
Blue Eyes:
Embrace Warm Tones For those with blue eyes, warm tones like peach, earthy browns, bronzes, golds, and coppers are ideal. These shades create a beautiful contrast, making blue eyes truly pop. Navy and indigo are also excellent choices for a complementary blue eye effect.
Green Eyes:
The Magic of Purples and Pinks Green eyes are perfectly complemented by purples and pinks. Plum, mauve, lilac, light pink, and rosy shades enhance the natural beauty of green eyes. Slate grey, black, silver, and olive also create stunning looks.
Brown Eyes:
A World of Possibilities Brown-eyed individuals are lucky, as nearly every color suits them. To make brown eyes stand out, try navy, dark blue, purples, or gold eyeshadows. These shades bring out the depth and warmth of brown eyes.
Hazel Eyes:
Play Up the Tones Hazel eyes vary from golden brown to green brown, offering many possibilities for eyeshadow colours. Amplify green tones with purple or pink shades, or highlight yellow tones with metallic bronzes. Experimentation can lead to stunning results.
Harmonizing Colours:
Colours adjacent to each other on the colour wheel, sharing a common primary colour, are known as harmonizing colors. For example, blue, indigo, and violet harmonize well together. These colours blend smoothly, creating a cohesive and appealing look.
Choosing the Best Colour for You:
To make your eyes stand out, opt for complementary or contrasting colours, which lie opposite your natural eye colour on the color wheel. Also, consider your skin tone: warm tones like peach, corals, reds, and purples for warmer skin tones, and cooler tones like pink, blue, and greens for cooler skin tones.
Complementary Colours:
he Power of Contrast Complementary colours, like blue and orange, placed side by side, create a strong contrast and are also known as contrasting colours. This contrast can be used to create eye-catching and dynamic makeup looks.
In essence, makeup is a form of personal expression. While colour theory offers a guide, the most important factor is how you feel wearing it. If a particular colour makes you feel confident and beautiful, that's the best choice for you. Makeup is about enhancing your natural beauty and expressing your unique style.
