Picking out an eyeshadow color can be more difficult than choosing which cheesecake flavor you like best. Not all colors are going to work for you. However, there is good news because some colors will work for all skin tones and hair colors. You will be surprised about how many more colors you can add to your makeup bag. These are colors that can be worn with all seasons, so this will save you time and money too.

Copper

Copper is not only trending right now, but you can wear it and it will always look good. There are varying degrees of color intensity, but all will work. You may want to pair this with a turquoise eyeliner on your upper lid if you are heading out for the night, or use a simple brown liner when you wear copper at the office.

Pink

Everyone can wear pink, but the shade of pink does matter. For example, very light, pastel pinks are not the best for those with darker skin because it looks to pasty. On the other hand, a neon pink can be too overwhelming on someone with very pale skin. Medium pink tones that have a shimmer to them will work for everyone. So, if you want to wear pink and do not want to risk it not looking good on you, you can never go wrong with a medium pink. Top this off with a thin line of jet black eyeliner on your upper lids and you are ready to go.

Gray and Silver

A light, matte gray always looks great on gals with light skin. You want to apply several coats so that it is noticeable because matte grays tend to be really light with only one or two coats. This can be combined with a dark charcoal gray eyeliner on the upper lid. Silver looks great on darker skin tones. You can use a dark, charcoal gray on the upper lid to finish the look.

To turn these into night looks, line your upper and lower eyes in a jet black and add a shimmery black to the crease of your eye and blend the gray and black so that they look seamless. This is a quick and easy way to mimic a smoky eye even if you are like most women and have not perfected the smoky eye that is trending right now.

Purple

Most purples will work for all skin tones. If you have darker skin, you want to use darker or more pigmented purples. If you are pale, then a neon purple may be a bit much. Other than this, purple can work for you. It offers a very seductive look that can be worn for work or when you are heading out on the town. Purple also works well when you are trying to create a smoky eye. You can use black eyeliner on the upper lids for both day and night. Of course, a deeper, more pigmented purple is best for night time. Another big plus for purple is that is makes your eyes pop regardless of color.
