Shadows for gray eyes

Every person is unique. Even twins have certain distinctive features in appearance that are not always noticeable to the eye. Gray eyes are considered to be universal, because they go to both blondes and brunettes, swarthy 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, most owners of gray eyes have heard a comparison with a chameleon more than once. After all, depending on the color of the clothes, the style of makeup and the tone of the shadows, the shade of the cornea can change.

Shadows for gray eyes are an optional element of makeup, but thanks to them you can completely transform and radically change your appearance.

Gray eyes often have a second name - chameleons. Pay attention to what shade the iris acquires near the water - the eyes become gray-blue. And in the bright sun they can turn into sky blue. If, for example, you choose a wardrobe for an image in rich tones of green, you can notice how gray eyes turn gray-green or even with an emerald sheen.

Another advantage of the owners of gray eyes is that they do not need to use shadows in makeup in order to achieve a more spectacular look.It is enough to make 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, sand and dusty white shades of shadows. Make-up using lilac and purple colors will look harmonious.

But rich pink and dark brown tones are undesirable for the fair sex with gray eyes. By themselves, these colors are very beautiful and, with the right make-up, can look spectacular on gray-eyed young ladies. But makeup using brick pink and warm dark brown tones is best left to the hands of professional makeup artists.

The fashion trends of the last few seasons are shades of bronze, silver and mother-of-pearl tones. Most often they are used to create a stylish evening look.

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

It is also important to pay attention to the expiration date, because expired cosmetics do not fit well, roll down, have an uneven tone, etc. However, this is not such a problem compared to the fact that expired goods often have a negative effect on the human body. In order to avoid health problems, do not forget to look at the expiration date of the purchased product. Component composition is another equally important criterion for choosing decorative cosmetics.This issue is especially important for those people who have a predisposition to allergic reactions.

When choosing eye shadow, you should pay attention to the texture of the cosmetic product.

• For red hair, blue eyes and pale transparent skin, shadows of a green and blue palette will be characteristic. But a suitable color scheme for red-haired beauties with hazel or green eyes consists of golden and all shades of green.

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 miscalculate with the tone of the shadows, the following recommendations will come to the rescue:

• For skin prone to rashes and redness, shadows that further focus on problem areas are not suitable. These are all shades of light pink, red, red-violet and green.
