Makeup and You: Eyeshadow and the Color Wheel

So, this is just a quick little snippet of fun, easy eye makeup tricks that pack an eerie punch!

Does your Creep have intense, hollow eyes? Do you... well, not? No problem! Almay makes palettes of eyeshadow combinations that are intended to make your real eye color pop.
Good things come in threes

It's called "intense i-color" powder shadow, and all you need to do for a night of spying and information-selling is to use a bit around your lids! This stuff really makes any eye color intense no matter the light.

The best part of it? The guess work of color theory is done for you! Just pick your natural eye-color, and there's a coordinating palette especially for you!

The whole set for Green eyes.
Almay's shadow palettes also have coordinating eyeliner and mascara for the daring! Use the darker colors of the palette for a real smoldering and creepy look, or the lighter ones to brighten them. Use both for a Cleopatra.
Color Wheel Guesswork? Done!


For that sickly, anemic and jaundiced-eye look: Use a shade of goldish green toward the inner corners of your eyes and blend liberally around your lower eyelids, the creases of your upper eyelids and along your brow.

  1. Buzz Reader Harlen Says: might I also suggest maroon and reds around the eye, with brown in the recesses of the eye. I have used this in the past with great results.

  2. Buzz Reader Echo Says: The red also works for an "inhumane" but not quite noticeable effect.

  3. The green tint of shadows and liners against a pinkish skintone actually neutralizes the reds and turns your natural hollows pretty brown for the hollow effect. Often, red can be too bright and brown can be too dark. The green makes it very natural and bruise-y. I recommend using a reddish-brown as eyeliner for 'inhumane' effects.
