Eye Shadow
Eye Shadow
I can remember what people dressed like when I was a young girl. It was the seventies, and I remember the tight t-shirts and the bell-bottoms quite well. I also remember that a lot of high school girls wore blue eye shadow and always seemed to be larger than life to me. As a child of five though, I guess I can understand this. If you look at fashion through the years, and the look of a certain decade, you may realize that it’s not about the clothes all of the time. You can sometimes date a photo by just looking at the eye shadow.
Make up differs through the years just like clothing trends. If you don’t believe me, just look at photos of girls in the eighties. They way they applied their makeup was the way of the times, and when the nineties rolled around, many people stopped wearing as much. Eye shadow went from wild to muted, if it was worn at all. Every year I hear a new color is in, but in reality, you can’t just wear a color if you want to look good. If everyone is wearing gobs of blue, that doesn’t not mean that you have to wear it, or that you should be wearing it.
There are certain colors of eye shadow that will make your eyes pop. My eyes are hazel, but they usually look green. In order to make them stand out, I wear purple eye shadow, and sometimes I had a little green to it. It works very well! I can wear brown with my eyes, but they don’t pop like they do when I apply the purple. There are colors of eye shadow that will do this for every eye color out there, though you may have to experiment until you find the one that works best for you.
You don’t have to spend a lot on your eye shadow, but the ones that cost a little more do tend to stay in place on your lids a little longer. Honestly though, I have found both expensive and inexpensive brands of eye shadow that work well for me and stay in place when I need them too. There is nothing worse than your make up running down your face when you are out in public. Make sure you get one that stays put, as that might be the most attractive look of all. It won’t matter what color you choose if it is all over your face.
