Eye Shadow Trends For Fall/Winter
Not everyone wears eye shadow as a more natural look has been in style for quite some time however there are some extreme eye shadow shades that are going to be fashion fierce for this fall.
A hot color for fall is a red copper color. According to Glamour Magazine this particular eye shadow color, which makes it look like you have been crying for hours is hot because Jennifer Connelly, , wore it on the red carpet recently. It is a very strong color and looks best with very bright red lipstick.
The color first made a sensation when actress Olivia Ward wore a sparkling metallic version of it with lots of black eyeliner. However the look that Jennifer Connelly boasts is much more natural and hippie like. Without the eyeliner the bright red eyeliner is much more suitable for day wear. It looks great with hazel, green or very bright blue yes.
Similar shades that are not so extreme are dark pink, brick and burgundy. However nothing beats the genuine glimmer of a true copper color.
Another hot eye shadow trend, according to fashion blogger Carmindy is grey eye shadow. Particularly fashion fierce is grey eye shadow that has a bit of a purple tinge to it. This color is very versatile and can be worn with anything. You can wear it softly so that it is unintrusive and very sheer or you can wear it with thick black eyeliner for a very sexy and smoky look.
This grey shadow also goes great with smoky dark blue or plum eyeliner. Sally Hansen makes a good brand.
The eighties look is still with us which means that we will be wearing heavy black and blue eye shadow. According Elle Magazine black eye shadow was seen on a lot of runways. It is very rock’n’roll especially if worn with eyeliner that is applied inside the eyelid on the rim. This is the way that Cleopatra used to wear her eye make up in ancient Eygpt and it is also the way that Andy Warhol era style icon Edie Sedgewick used to wear her eye makeup as well.
This goes hand in hand with very dramatic brows which for some people means coloring in the brows with a pencil one to two shades darker than your natural brows. It also means wearing very bold red lips in colors like burgundy or slick scarlet.
The neutral face is also in fashion and that translates into meaning that you don’t wear any eye shadow at all. You might however be wearing a bit of dewy looking foundation right on your eyelids instead or just a hint of Vaseline or powder. A touch of very light yellow or gold eye shadow can give a youthful natural look to eyes as well.
