I’ve never been a makeup expert. This changed a little when I got into the film industry 3 years ago. In such a space, us ladies always want to look our best! I’ve needed to learn some basics. Here are a few tips I can pass on to you. One thing I find amazing is the difference a bit of eye shadow can make. It’s crazy how you can make your eyes pop with a colour. These guidelines are great for when in the professional arena or for when you dress up to go out on the town.
Brown eyes
+ Teals
+ Purples
+ Browns
+ Yellows
Any shade actually works with brown. Lucky you!
Blue eyes
+ Blues
+ Silvers
+ Dark Greys / Ash (Smokey Eyes)
Green eyes
+ Purples
+ Golds
+ Browns
+ Dark Greens
