When creating perfect gorgeous eyes, choosing from the wide variety of available eyeshadow shades can be a challenge. Colors have to be chosen carefully to complement each other, your skin tone, and the type of look you are going for, whether natural or dramatic. Luckily, bareMinerals has simplified things for you by creating a series of new MINERALIST color palettes to make matching and blending your eyeshadow a breeze!
Choosing the Right Palette for You
Before you choose your eyeshadow, it is important to know whether you have a cool or warm skin tone. If you are not sure, a good way to test it is to remove all your makeup and grab a variety of colored fabrics in warm and cool tones. Warms include gold, brown, orange and yellow and cools include pinks, purples and blues. Hold various colors up next to your face and see which ones look best against your skin. If in doubt, take a few pictures and look at them side by side. It should become clear whether your skin looks best in cool or warm colors.
Now that you know your skin tone, you can use this information to inform not only your makeup and hair color choices, but also in choosing what to wear for the most flattering look.
MINERALIST Palettes for Your Skin
For those of you with cool skin tones, excellent bareMinerals MINERALIST Eyeshadow Palettes for you would be Heathered (for a dramatic look) or Ultranatural (for a subtle everyday look). For those with warm skin tones, you would look great in either Rosewood (dramatic) or Sunlit (natural).
The colors in each palette are helpfully labeled and numbered to assist you in determining where to apply each color. The lightest color is labeled #1, and this is a highlighter color for applying to the browbone and in the inner corners of the eyes. #2 and #5 are perfect for the eyelid crease and the outer corner of the eye. #6 is the darkest color in the palette for enhancing your lashline and blending your eyeliner. The other shades in the palette can be used to blend darker and lighter areas.
Be sure that you have the right brushes for the job. We recommend brushes by bareMinerals, as they know how to craft expert tools to get a professional look.
