I think it depends on what I am wearing... some days I wear taupes, tans, browns. Some days its mix or match! I have green eyes on my good days, and they turn gold fleck hazel when I am upset...... My kids use to look at my eye color to ask me a question.....lol

I wear charcoal colors (night)....I like the smoky eye look. During the day don't wear eyeshadow just a bronzer. I have brown eyes and when I wear browns and tans it just don't accent my eyes very well.

When I wear it I wear a brown and cream.....I don't wear it very often, but I do like my eyeliner and mascara,especially when I'm not getting enough sleep.

I usually go with the earth colors, brown, taupe, cream. I would love to use charcoal colors but I can't ever get it to look right.

Earthtone colors or none here as well... I don't really think any other colors look very natural or flattering on me.

I was the same way until my sister taught me how to apply it. First you need to use a eyelid primer before applying eyeshadow to help control oils. Use two different color eyelines.....use the darker one on the upper lid and the lighter one on the lower lid...don't forget to smudge it. I take a q-tip over it to help smudge it. Make sure you use a highlighter on the brow bone....I always use a pearly color, it helps lifts the eyebrow.

I really wish I was more creative in my eyeshadow wearing. As I have gotten older, I am a bit confused as to what's acceptable. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, that being said, I am usually wearing my taupe, different shades of brown, and an army-type green. When I am feeling a bit adventurous, I will wear some blue/pink, but always self-conscious about this choice. I am a blonde w/ hazel eyes. Anyone have any suggestions for "mixing it up" a bit?

I wear all colors really, it depends on what I am wearing...... What I don't think is acceptable is the girls, women, that wear that stupid WHITE ,What the hel* were they thinking, that it looks good?? lol........ My EX sil wears green ( FROM EYE TO BROW BONE!)every time I saw her, I thought of traffic lights!......... blinking green at me. You can google "applying eyemakeup"
There are some videos out there also that does show you the RIGHT way to apply.
