What is the boldest eyeshadow combo you have ever worn? Just in terms of what you’ve worn, not necessarily the rest of the world! What eyeshadow combo was really noticeable and wow! for you?
Gosh, I couldn’t even tell you! I think I’ve done plenty of blue shadow looks that would count for boldest! Or else my all-black smoky eye 🙂

I personally don’t think i have one boldest of the bold look, just because they are all bold or special to me in some way ;). When im in a very ‘look at me’ day, i try my best to look great whilst standing out from the crowd every time.
That’s a good philosophy, Briodmun 🙂
I have a lot of different color shadows, but still manage to stay quite neutral as far as when I wear them. But I would have to say the boldest is:
Delft (paintpot) – all over lid
Parrot (e/s) – inner and mid lid
Charred (e/s) – outer lid and crease
Smolder (eyeliner) – top and bottom
and of course mascara.
I have worn this just a couple of times, but I great great compliments whenever I do 🙂
Ohh, a smoky teal eye? Love it!
chrome yellow and smokey lady smokey eye. it was crazy!
That is indeed a bold look!
Chrome Yellow
Makeup Forever Flash Pan in Yellow
Deep Truth
Urban Decay electric blue liquid eyeliner
Oh, bright and pretty sounding 🙂
I am always doing crazy combos, but today I have on Pharoah paint pot on lid as a base, Sunshine in inner lid, Juiced on middle lid, Paradisco on outer lid, Beauty Burst in outer crease with Ricepaper on brow. It’s pretty bright!
Hey Stephanie! I like that combo, very pretty!
I don’t really remember the colors but halloween 2 years ago, I wore 3 blue eyeshadows. I went to the MAC counter to get it done, and I always forget to ask for color names. I’ll see if I have a pic of it…or try to find a comparison
lol, if you go to MAC and ask for bold, you really GET bold!
I was Jessica Rabbit for Halloween two years ago. Big purple look, with heavy lids, lots of mascara. Used pink for contouring.
Ohh, nice, Erin, what a fun costume idea!
probably my chrome yellow and swimming look. yellow eyeshadow is always outrageous!
and also i just got 25 pigment samples and OMG i am in color overload!!!!!! ah this is amazing i cant wait to have some new amazing looks!!
so speaking of bold,i have a feeling ill be trying out my acid orange sample tomorrow 😀
Pretty!!
And yay for pigment samples 😀 Have fun!
Contrasting colours are always pretty loud and also fun combinations. Chrome Yellow and Freshwater with a little bit of gorgeous gold!
Ohh, very nice combo, Winnie!
macs chrome yellow, bitter and electric eel shadow together loves it 🙂
Ohh yes, bright and bold!
One of my favorites was rollickin as a base with bitter really packed on blending into the blue from the fafi #2 quad, with waveline as a liner and tons of mascara. And today I wore Perky as a base with paradisco on top and some steamy mixed with parrot in the crease and aqualine(which is my new favorite thing!)and it was pretty bright.
I love the idea, Lindsay, sounds gorgeous!
I was bored and allowed my boyfriend to put makeup on me after I gave him a quick explanation of makeup placement (highlight, crease, lid, etc). He ended up putting UD Adore (bold blue) all over my lid and I think either Tilt or Electra in the crease and then he used Chrome Yellow as the highlight. When he picked up the yellow for the highlight I was like “Uh are you sure?” And he had me do black liner all around because it is the only thing he says he cares about makeup-wise on a girl. It was bold and crazy but actually looked kinda cool. I wish I had pictures.
LOL! I like that it turned out cool in the end though.
Chrome Yellow, Wondergrass, Big T (going from inner to outer lid). Seems to be a popular color combo in the makeup communities, and while it is pretty, I felt like a clown when I wore it! Notttt for public for me!
Mmm, bright, but very pretty! Psh, I bet you didn’t LOOK like a clown though!
I love wearing turquoise shadows! I actually really love the Candy Bar in Thin Mints by Too Faced. It makes my eyes pop!
Ohh, pretty!! What’s your favorite turquiose shadow?
For me, it was Hepcat and Coppering. I don’t normally have any of this colors, but I am in love with Hepcat and Coppering is gorgeous! I decided to pair the two one day and it looked awesome!
Those are two of my favorites 🙂
today it was golden lemon pigment, chrome yellow, parrot and rebel rock blue pigment! pretty bright haha i was feeling pretty primary!
Ha, I love it! That’s a look that’s really wowza!
bitter/wondergrass/humid is my all time favorite bold color combo. it’s my go-to look when i can’t decide on a route to take. it makes my blue-green eyes look more blue and very vibrant!
