The Universally Perfect Eyeshadow Color that makes every eye POP!

If for some reason I was given the extreme challenge to pick only ONE eyeshadow from the hundreds that I own (no exaggeration) for my work makeup kit that had to work beautifully on every skin tone and eye color…

including blue eyes 

and green eyes

and hazel eyes 

and light brown eyes

and medium brown eyes

and dark brown eyes…

I would choose an amber color eye shadow! No, not brown, bronze, copper or gold but the perfect amber.  It’s so beautiful and flattering on every eye color and skin tone. It creates a striking contrast against blue and green eyes (it’s all Color Theory babydollz! Remember art class? Take a look at a color wheel to find your complementary colors). On hazel and brown eyes it really draws out all the little gold & orange flecks and makes eyes appear lighter. You can’t go wrong with an amber shade whether the texture & finish is a soft matte, shimmer or a powerful pigment.  Wear it alone swiped on the lid for a very simple look or quickly smoke it out by adding a dark brown eye liner smudged out on the lash line.  You just can’t go wrong with this must-have, go-to, perfect eye color!
