It is worth recognizing: bright, colored shadows have long gone out of fashion. For a long time, a new trend has reigned. In the fashion or smoky "smokey ice", or the shadows, naturally combined with a skin tone. But whichever option you choose, you must not forget about the appropriateness of the selected shadow color. Even smoky makeup will look ridiculous if the shadows do not match the color of the eyes.

Three taboos
But before considering the basic rules in combining shadows, consider three basic prohibitions. Firstly, you should not choose shadows only for the reason that they themselves “look good”. Even a beautiful shade may not be combined with the color of your eyes.
Secondly, you can not choose shadows, focusing only on the color of their clothes. An orange blouse can look fresh and attractive. Orange shadows are tasteless and strange.
Thirdly, you should not use certain shadows only for the reason that they are now in trend. The same product is well suited for one girl and will be completely unacceptable for another.
The main way to avoid mistakes when choosing shadows is focus on your own eye color.
How to choose the shadows that are right for you
Professional makeup artists use a spectral circle to select shadows. According to it, they determine which shades are best suited to the eyes of the model. In fact, every girl does not have such a wide choice. It’s easy to remember just a few shades that are perfect for your eyes.
