gold and black
I’ve added more colors to my habits (dark metallic blue and purples for example) but the blend of gold and black will always be what I prefer because it flatters my green eyes.
Gold, neutrals and black, though Im trying to experiment with brights and other colours!
i wear browns and neutrals everyday but i love adding touches of gold. When its night out then i love using purple.
I love bright colours, so my favourites are definitely pink, purple, turquoise, light green, blue, but I also love grey/silver and yellow/gold, whatever takes my fancy really, lol. Least keen on neutrals/browns and black, red, orange.
Plums work best with my skintone, but I also love neutrals…I just can’t have enough browns, beiges and taupes!
Purples and greens usually since they go well with my skin tone and eye color. Though I also love a neutral colors also.
I also love greens, or at least greens are the ones I’m always drawn to. However, I often feel weird when I’m wearing them, even the warm ones. And I’m a redhead! Cool greens like teals sometimes need warming up, f.ex. I blend Brash e/s between two teals. I also like golden/copper/orangy/reddish e/s from French Cuff to Sweet Chestnut (love!).
PS I have not noticed anyone mentioning but Rated R is almost a Sharp dupe (it was compared to every other green e/s), love them both, but I feel that they are more like neutrals on me!
I’m actually more fond of Neutrals and browns, then of bold and bright colors. But sometimes i like to pull of a dark blue/purple smoeky 🙂
I love wearing yellows and oranges 🙂
I like coppers, taupes (Satin Taupe is a fav), and plums. Green-eyed girl here!
I don’t really have favorites; I love playing with color, and my eyeshadow collection pretty much spans the rainbow. Bright, smokey, neutral, shimmery, matte… Whatever matches my mood. 🙂
If I’m out for a party I love black-grey smokey eyes. If I have to be staid I use brown-fawn.
If I wantto be more funny I love the colors of the sea. And some glitter.
I love orange and yellow-base colours. They suit my blue eyes best. Silver greys also look good. But these days I’ve been wearing a lot of greens. I like kelly green but also bright yellow green.
Lately its been golds, browns, bronzes, mostly warm metallics.
Greens and purples!
I love wearing purple! I find purple eyeshadows really hard to resist. I normally like wearing all sorts of colours of eyeshadow but I would say that purple is one of my favourites. I also really like wearing golds, greens and blues.
Golds and Pinks!!
Oranges and coppers make my eye looks really blue and they go well with my coloring (I’m a redhead). Next would be purples or pinks for a contrast and then greens which I have to be careful about ’cause they can make me look bruised.
Definitely blues and greens. With my brown eyes and cool complexion, they look awesome!
I love bright colors. My favourites are greens, purples and blues but I love yellows and pinks too.
I love neutrals, especially soft pink, beige, peach and copper. I also love grey/silver and mauve colors.
Teals, Blues, Greens and Purple!
neutrals beiges and brown, sometimes spiked up with golds
or sometimes white/silver as well
i now try to experiment with colors outside of my confort zones, and see myself adding touches of blues, greens or black
I think it really depends on what I’m going to be doing for that day. I think I generally wear more neutral colors like soft browns and beige and then add my pop of color through different liners. However, when I am buying stuff I tend to looooove greens.. I think I have too many. That and also purple!
I have greeny/hazel eyes and wear a lot of smokey greys and blacks – for a long time I used to just thickly line my eyes in knight divine and a shimmery highlighter in the inner eye and that was it. Now I’m more grown up it’s satin taupe and some sort of grey for daytime and colors like golds and pinks and teals at the weekend. I never wear purples though.
Neutrals (taupes, brown, pink) I throw in plum/purple combo in there once in a while.
I love wearing shimmery champagne colors on the lids by them selves…it definitely looks natural, but better
Everyday would be neutrals, especially a soft brown smoky eye. Sometimes with a bit of pink or purple or green.
I like oranges, yellows, light brown, dark drown, light green and dark green.
BROWNS AND PURPLES ALTHOUGH I LIKE SWITCHING THEM AROUND SO I DONT FEEL THAT MY OTHER EYESHADOWS ARE UNUSED.
Teal is my favourite colour to wear.. though I do like warmer neutrals too.. but teal always makes me feel good 🙂
I love wearing purple! I have green-blue eyes, and it makes them look a gorgeous green! Whenever I see purple eyeshadows, I have to try so hard not to buy them as I have so many already! I really want to pick up MUFE #92! I have a matte lavender by them and its sooo pretty!
Blues, teal, and purples 🙂
lots of neutrals lately, i’m quite pale so orb as a base & yogurt on top is my current fav. =)
Taupes and purples are my favourite.
blues and purples
purple and green and i usually prefer brown over black.
I love wearing; Bright Blues (like freshwater), Bright Greens, Teals, Yellow & Orange and… Blacks!
I love warm browns and golds, and greens or purples for a bit of pop with my brown eyes.
Today I combined gold and brown on my lid, and turquoise on my lower lashline!
I love it all!!! All pigmented vibrant colors! There’s no color I won’t wear or try. I tend to favor the smoky eye so I use a lot of blacks, greys, silvers, charcoals, purples, blues, taupes. The colors I don’t tend to reach for as much are greens and browns.
