Eyeshadow ideas??

Ok, my husband is in the Army and we are attending his formal ball in 2 weeks. I bought a long, formal gown. It is a black halter style dress with silver beads and jewels all along the top. I have no idea what color of eyeshadow to wear!! I have brown hair and brown eyes.My skintone is light to medium. I know silver is the most likely option, but I dont really like silver eyeshadow on myself. Does anyone have any other ideas besides silver??

Eyeshadow ideas??

try anything smokey, anything from a dark brown to a charcoal color. Put some dark eyeshadow on your eyelid, just above your eyeliner (use dark brown or charcoal) and then u put some lighter colour on your upper eyelid. If you use brown, then use brown mascara, if you wear charcoal, use black mascara.

Remember to apply your mascara twice and when u are finished, use ur brush, dont put it in the mascara again, to colour the tips of your eyelashes. ur eyes will look smokey, misterious and sexy. And it will go beautifully with your dark hair...

njoy the ball and i'm sure u'll look like a princess!

Eyeshadow ideas??

try midnight blue... or something dark blueish...?

Eyeshadow ideas??

I would just do something more natural.

Maybe a dark chocolate brown on the lids. Taupe in the crease and a little bit of white on brownbone and in the corners(this will open your eyes up) Finish with curling your eyelashes and using two coats of black mascara. I use maybelleine full and soft. I recommend it. A little smudged chocloate eyeliner on the outside corners would add to the look.

Eyeshadow ideas??

You shouldn't match your eyeshadow to your dress.

Maybe you should go for smokey eyes. Violet maybe? Or maybe just some white, light taupe, and some liquid black eyeliner.

I would go with black liner and dark grey shimmery shadow.

take a medium dark eyeshadow and put it in the crease of your eye then take a lighter shadow and put it on your lid, my mom does this and she has brown eyes as well, it makes your eyes pop out and adds definition to them. i personally dont like silver eyeshadow on anyone go for the more natural colors that compliment your face not your dress!!!!

Use a light gold color over your entire eyelide, up to the brow. Then sweep a dark green lightly along the outter part of the crease. Take black eyeshadow and smudge along your lids (upper and bottom) and then thinly line with black eyeliner. This will give you a classy smokey eyed look, perfect for a formal event!

Eyeshadow ideas??

i have been in a ball,once,and my great grand mother,was a cosmetic. so make sure,youfirst put powder on your eyes,that kinda macth your skin tone! wait for few mintues,and take brush and glide it where you putthe powder,then choose one color that is general(brown,green red,blue....etc........)one you picked a general color,pick three in the same family(light meduim,dark.)

there are three ways you can do this!

one is that you can take the spongy makeover tool,you get when putting eye shadow.and make a small line,with the dark family color,close to your lashe line.then,take meduim,and make it thicker,and then put a small,or big line,of the light one,and,finich it.

the other one is doing it the oppisite,(like,starting with the light one,and not the dark one! .)so you can start wit the light one,by making it close to the lash line.......and the meduim,one thicker.................and the other dark one..............

when you choose any of these ,and you don't like one of them,just pick the first or the second,take a brush ,and glide it light on the colors,so you a mix!

hope i helped alot!

later

You should probably go for a dark chocolate, don't match the same color to your dress! If you have really dark hair, go lighter. Lighter hair, do darker. It's color contrast, and it'll look good on your dress!
