Make Up For Ever: 4 Eyeshadow Combinations to Try

Monday, July 13th, 2009


#10, 5, 75, 39,

I love trying out new color combinations, and lately, I’ve been a little stumped when I’ve gone to the “drawing board” aka the mirror/my face. I thought I might try thinking up some combinations in advance so that I’m not staring at myself in the mirror for ten minutes like an idiot, LOL! I thought I’d share four I managed to come up with :)

Check out three more!

I love the first and the last. I don't usually like pink on eyes, though, so instead I'd add a lipcolor close to that beautiful shocking pink.

This is kind of what I was talking about in the comment to win the MES--about what we'd like to see more of on the site. I find this very helpful!

I'm glad you liked it, Brittany!

still wishing i had #5....

Whenever I get stuck, I randomly pick two or three eyeshadows and a colored liner with my eyes closed. That REALLY makes for some crazy new ideas :D My fave was MAC Shroom, Da Bling, and Sable with Fly-By-Blu pearlglide liner :D

Fun stuff! Have you ever picked out something that was disastrous???

LoL...I'm going to try that. It sounds fun.

Oh I love this! Thanks so much for posting these. What a great idea!

Please do FOTD´s with these color combos!! Would be very interesting to see (:

These are beautiful color combos. I definitely feel like i go through the same thing. Wanting to try something new but end up doing an oldie but goodie look. Sometimes i feel like i should be picking out my makeup the night before like i do my clothes. Is that pathetic or what?!?! :) HA! Would love to see you do a FOTD with these color combos!!

I actually used to ALWAYS pick out my makeup the night before. I would spend up to an hour in my room, applying different colour combos to the back of my hand until I found one that I really liked haha. I still do that when I take the time to prepare my makeup beforehand. Anyways, I love the third one. Not too sure about the second combo, I guess I would have to see it on the eyes to see if it looks good! Something about it just looks off to me, not sure why. This all makes me want to go to Sephora and stock up on MUFE, but I have no money :(

Aww!! :) I love it. I only plan makeup on rare occasions... like if there's an outfit or shirt I just *have* to wear.

I'm so glad I'm not alone! :) Haha! Sometimes I think about it, but only if I'm going somewhere!

That last one and I = <3

I'm always in that situation too :) great that u came up with these, thanks!!

At least I am not alone! :D

Woooo love to see the 2nd one in action!! That would look so pretty!

I'll see what i can do :)

lol thanks for sharing christine! :D i always find myself in the same situation and then i just go back to doing one of my usual looks =/
