How To Make Your Eye Colour Pop

This is where the colour wheel comes in!

A colour wheel can be used for anything from redecorating your living room, coming up with new outfits or choosing a complimentary eye colour.

How to use a colour wheel:

 

  'Complimentary Colours'

Pick a color on the color wheel then draw a straight line across the color wheel, this is the colours complement. These colours are opposites. You can see that yellow compliments violet and vice versa.

 'Analogous Colours'

This is when you choose a colour on the  wheel that is next to the colour you are choosing. If we choose yellow the analogous colours would be yellow green and yellow orange. This works really well in decorating or fashion.

 'Triad Colours'

More detailed colour wheel

Choose a colour on the  wheel and draw a triangle to find the two other colors. You will notice that each colour has 3 colours between them to form the triangle.The primary colours of Red, Blue and Yellow are triadic colours

Now how do I make this work for my makeup!! Use a more detailed colour wheel to find your shade of eyecolour then find the colours opposite and use these as eyeshadow.

Blue Eyes

If you look at the colour wheel and look directly across and find that its complementary colour is orange now not many of us would choose to wear orange eyeshadows so try golds coppers and bronzes.

Green Eyes

Again looking at the wheel you will see that Red is opposite green so using violet colours will compliment your eyes.

 

Brown Eyes

Brown eyes suit blue and green shades of makeup. Particularly navy type blues and dark greys.

Remember nothing is set in stone!! Feel free to wear whatever colours your heart desires. I certainly do!
