By CountryDutchess.com Spring is here - summer almost - and color is everywhere! Not only will Summer 2010 set the record for bright, lively hues, those shades are not limited to your clothing.
Indeed, colorful, bright make up is everywhere - particularly the eyes! Bright colored shadows are everywhere and they can be the quickest and least expensive way to update your look instantly!
At the same time, picking the wrong color - or using too much - can take your look from runway chic to circus tent tacky - and leave you looking less than stylish.
Which is why were thrilled right down to our Kabuki brush to find this very topic addressed in the brand new book Cosmo's Sexiest Beauty Secrets: The Ultimate Guide to Looking Gorgeous
In fact, this incredible "little black book of beauty" is brimming over with so many secrets you definitely don't want to visit the cosmetics counter without reading it first!
But in the meantime we thought we'd pass along Cosmo's advice for choosing colored eye shadows and getting the absolute best results! The key, say those gorgeous Cosmo girls is using your eye color as a guide - and when you do you can be assured that the eye shadow you choose will always compliment your look.
To help get you started, here's the Cosmo formula for eyes that sparkle with color!
For Green Eyes: Make your eyes look piercing with plum or warm lavender shadow. Although these colors are on the "red" color wheel, you should avoid true "red" shadows such as burgundy or brick. These colors will overwhelm your eyes and compete with their color.
For Blue Eyes: To bring out the blue in your eyes go for the color opposite on the wheel - earthy shades with lots of copper undertones. This includes warm chocolates, golds, and bronzy colors - or if you want to be daring, go peach or tangerine!
For Brown Eyes: Sultry, brown "bedroom eyes" were made for blue shadow! From peacock to blue topaz, from French blue to baby blue, you can wear them all and look amazing ! You can also select any shade of violet or purple as long as it has a blue undertone.
For Lasting Color: Cosmo says look for a creme-to-powder formula. They go on creamy and dry down to a powder and have the best staying power of all shadow types.
For Lasting Eyeliner: Choose a product containing Nylon-12 - it's got the best staying power.
