How to Wear Bright Eyeshadows

Bright eyeshadows are those unconventional shades that most girls wouldn’t let see the light of day on their lids. Fear not if you dare to wear bright eyeshadows in neon or glittery hues of yellows, blues, greens, oranges, and pinks. Only remember to keep the rest of your face subtle, for the most part. You could also try to match one piece of your ensemble with your eyeshadow, even if it's just an accessory.

To balance bright eyelids, apply lots of mascara, and perhaps pair with a smokier shade of brown or grey in the crease. Use a natural shade of blush for your cheeks to warm up your face OR apply a “pop” blush shade to the cheeks. For example, if you are sporting bright pink eyeshadow, blend a bright rose blush shade onto your cheekbones. If you are going this route, do keep lips nude with a skin-toned lipstick or a sheer lip gloss.

Oh man, I am going out tomorrow & this is just the inspiration I needed! I'm a big fan of blues and greens. I love your tip to match with an accessory. So many girls are scared to match their clothes and makeup, but I think eyes that match your bag are shoes looks perfectly put together!
