Solar eclipse (total or otherwise): at new moon.

Lunar eclipse (total or otherwise): at full moon.

-- Immediately after a Solar eclipse you get a new crescent moon appearing in the sky.

Obviously therefore the eclipse happens at the point when the side of the moon that

faces us is in total shadow - indeed during the eclipse we are covered by that shadow.

-- Immediately after a lunar eclipse, as soon as the moon moves out of the shadow, it is full.
