Question 1

Can't decide between high definition or skin tone shade. Opinions?

Accepted Answer

Hello Mei Lan, I will use any eyeshadow in the blues, greens, or purples, I have blue eyes. The shadow can not have any shimmer to it, it must be matte. Those shadows with any sparkle at all weighs down my upper eyelid, flakes off on my cheeks and around my eyes and ends up all over my face, little sparkles, shinning in the light, ewe, needs constant attention. However you can find matte eyeshadow in high definition colors and skin tones. If you have dark eyes, moss green would look very nice, at the same time, a beautiful pale purple or eggplant shade would be a great high definition color. An ash brown, no red, would be a perfect skin tone shade. Don't be scared to try a bold color but skin tone shades are never hard to find. Your application of shadow, no matter the shade, on the area under the brow should be applied sparingly. You will want a shade that goes with your skin tone. Sometime when you are out shopping, go to the makeup counter and look for testers that you can apply to the back of your hand and see what works, then you will be able to use that experience shopping at NYX, skip the shadow base, I use loose powder and go over my whole lid, then use your shadow. Mei, hope this helps you. Good luck, any other questions, just ask.
