What colour eyeshadow would suit me?

[CountessDracula]

I have spent years unable to wear powder eyeshadows, am going to try a mineral one that has been recommended on here

I have had such limited selection of colours for so long I am unsure what colour would look good on me!

I have dark hair slightly reddish, pale skin and blue eyes.

this suits me and I am similarly coloured to you, madame. And it's such fun to use and all. Go on treat yourself

Thanks Suzy, tbh the colour I use most often is goldy (the clarins one in a tube) was looking for something a bit different maybe

I get eczema from benefit ones

did you get that?

get what?

tut, you blinkin would wouldncha

well the kind of pearlised dusky pink is good for Ladies Of Our Age and Colouring, ie the middle one in the pallette in that link

how about purple/lilac.SOunds awful but applied sparingly it can look very flattering .Just make sure it's matt.

ok
colours here how about parma violet and african violet?

or maybe indigo

Gunmetal is also nice

The smaples are 29p and you get quite a lot.

Get loads.

samples

yes was going to get a few
but I might just get a couple to start to see if i am allergic

aha ahem erm yes.

How do you put on eyeshadow anyway? I always end up looking like a russian bride.

yes those colours look nice CD

I don't know cd....my skin tone is so different to yours (olive), I can NOT wear any warm toned colours like browns....which I suspect you CAN wear.

Try a warm greeny colour? like a sage?

do you think green would be ok with blue eyes though? Green looks fab on you but you have greeny eyes

maybe i should go for blue and we could do abba....

Golden green is lovely with blue eyes, as is plum, and bronze.

bronze makes blue seem |VERY blue. Peach is nice for daywear though.

YOu have the same colouring as me, btw.

yy bronze is my usual colour

what is golden greeN?

NOT BLUE

I have an irrational hatred of blue eyeshadow

no twas a joke
