Help with eye shadow application and colour choice

I am just getting back into make up after covid (just wore mascara eyeliner and bit of bronzer)

I'm pale with dark green/grey eyes and strong brows and dark hair.

I have some nice eye palettes and single shadows but I cannot get back into applying. Think this is due to not going out so feel silly and aging a bit - eyes but hooded.

I used to love light pink eyeshadow.
So I need to ditch the darker colours and keep to light whitish colours. I don't suit brown shadow. It makes my eyes seem smaller.

Any advice at all appreciated Flowers

I have similar coloured eyes and light plum colours suit me.

Thanks NoShow. I have a nice plum palette.

Try looking on YouTube for hooded eyes application. But basically you want to go above the crease rather than in it - if you go in it then a lot of the eyeshadow gets completely lost when you open your eye. Applying with your eye as open as possible also helps with this.

These are the eyeshadows I have. Also Charlotte Tilbury Rose Gold eyes to mesmerise.
