GET A RANGE: The palette that contains a good mix of complimentary colors and textures is ideal. A light and dark shade, a neutral and one with a bit of shimmer is perfect.
STICK TO THE BASICS: A neutral palette is great for everyday. You can incorporate pops of color from a separate shadow or liner. Another must have is the smoky palette for a smoldering look.
LAYER IT ON: Balance is key when you focus on your eyes. When applying a bold shade on the lid, soften the color by blending a neutral shade in the crease and use a matte shadow to accent the brow bone.
TONE IT DOWN: Spring trends call for pops of color. Opt for a bold color as liner instead of applying it all over your lid. You can wet an angled brush for staying power and precision. Or mix it with a neutral color to soften the intensity.
