Is it okay to put eye shadow in lip balms?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I would say yes, i have been experimenting with make-up and hair. One of my experiments was if you could put eyeshadow in lipbalms or lipgloss. It depends on the eyeshadow as well. Alot of eyeshadows have chemicals in them which is what makes them the bright colors, etc. But i would be careful with what kind of eyeshadow you put in your lipbalm :)

Can you use a eye shadow as a blush?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

yes you can my mum is a beauty theripist and i use blush on my eyes every day. what it does is it makes you have a natural look and it matches your cheeks.

have a look in the shops and see what blush suits you the best 1

oh and dont put chap stik on your eyes that will make it all taky and gluggy and yuk. hope this helps :)

- - - - -

There are two reasons why you shouldn't.

First is safety. Eye shadow is made specially so if you get it in your eye it won't injure you. Blush PROBABLY won't injure you, but eye shadow definitely won't. They also put antimicrobial agents in eye shadow to keep harmful eye bacteria from growing in it that blush doesn't need, or have.

The other is staying power. The places you put blush don't move very much. The places you put eye shadow are in constant motion. They have to put chemicals in eye shadow to make them stick to your skin that they don't put in blush. (This is also why eye makeup is harder to get off than blush.)

You can get pink eye shadow at any store, and if you want to wear pink on your eyes that's what to use.

What color of eye shadow looks best with pale white skin and green eyes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

eyeshadow for green or blue shaded eyesI would say a copper brown tone on the whole lid with maybe a darker brown in the crease.. My eyes are green and sometimes green/brown or green/blue or just blue any shade of brown makes these colors pop in eyes. AnswerGreat question! We all want a little sparkle and color to compliment our eyes, but greenish brown is a difficult color to compliment sometimes! I would suggest if you wanna play up the green, a soft green is the best way to go! A light, pear green is good for a soft day color. A darker, forest green would look great and mysterious! Also, purples look good on brownish green eyes. A plum purple is a great color! If I were you, I would check out the Bring It Out collection by Almay! If you have greenish brown eyes, choose either the Bring Out The Green or Bring Out The Brown collection. Either is sure to compliment you pretty eyes!

ANSWER:

I have green/brown eyes and find that plum,purple and pink colours really bring out the green, while blues really made them look browner.

AnswerPlum purple or green would work really well you could use those as eyeliner colours too

Answer

i have brown/green eyes and i find brown doesnt look any good at all. Blue, green and purple looks good depending on your skin colour. Pink doesnt look any good either.

answer:you shouldn't use really any eyeshadow that are in the same colours as your eyes as it can make them look smaller, but good colours would be pinks, peaches, golds and purples also cream colours. these all make your eyes stand out and will bring out the colour of your eyes. answer:like a russett brown is really good for brown/ green eyes. Metallic khaki colours also look really good, but not if you put on too much, you don't want to look strange

If you have dark eyes you do not want to use dark eyeshadow. Try something light, like pink or gold or silver or light blue or purple. If you want your eyes to pop use dark eyeliner on the top and dark mascara with a light eyeshadow.

What eye shadow colors make hazel eyes pop?

User Avatar

Asked by Kotaashlie123

Almost any color of eyeshadow will compliment hazel eyes because of the different colored flecks in it. Neutral colors like browns and gold will play up the beautiful earth tones in your eyes. If you are looking to really bring out the greens and browns in your eyes, a purple or pink color will make the browns and greens pop because purple and green are opposite on the color wheel, accentuating each other.

What color eye shadow brings out blue green eyes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First, never use a blue shadow. Stick with coffee colors and browns, but don't go chocolate.

Answer

Your hair color also makes a difference. See below for best.

Brown hair- Use a gentle pink, but do NOT go red or heavy, you will seem tired. Do a silver for night

Blond hair- Light cocoa for daytime, go gold for a night on the town

Red hair- Gentle golden for day. Mix a silver/pink for evening

_________________________________________________________________

Eyeshadow: Be dramatic with black or dark charcoal, pewter, too, has has a dramatic affect when contrasting blue eyes. Add to the appeal of lighter shades of blue by outlining them with a dark navy. Gain a more playful appeal with shades of peach, plum or bright berries. Even silver can work well darker hues of blue.

How do you apply eyeshadow?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ok this is fairly simple! If you have foundation apply on your eyelids to keep you eye colour the same!

1) Get the wand and keep dipping it in to the mascara 3 times.

2) Wiggle the wand left to right at the bottom of lashes.

3) Pull the wand up and through the lashes, wiggling as you go.

4) Apply as many coats as you like but dont use up alot of time or you will get clumps!

Do the light purple on your lids to complamint your eyes, the light blue on your eye crease to complamint your dress and the color close to your skin tone by you brow to make your eyes pop. Then blend all the colors together. Add mascara and eyeliner one shade darker than your skin tone. use peach or pink

What is that product that turns powder eyeshadow into liquid?

User Avatar

Asked by Saunaina

I've used Face Atelier's Transforming Gel - it works really well, but its fairly pricey. You can order a sample size of it for much less, and see if you think it's worth it.

As well, I have read that you can simply use water, but I haven't had as much luck with that.

Hope this helps!
