Looking for a little dark eye impact in your look? Or have you got dark eyes in need of pep up? We tackle the question of dark eyes and give you options for both beauty questions…
Create Darkness
Give your eyes ultimate impact with dark, moody hues. From the likes of MAC’s infamous carbon black eyeshadow to the inky blues of Laura Mercier’s colour palette. If you want to try out a dark toned eye but want to step away from the normal black, coals and graphite tones then why not reach for burgundy and wine colours. You can create the same tried and tested smokey eye, but with these tones you will get all the warmth of a purple or rosy pink hue.
Blessed with dark toned eyes of medium brown right through to dark brown? You can highlight your already dark eyes with shimmering shades of golds, blues, pinks and even high shine pigments. Want the highlight without much of a “light shadow look”? Reach for shimmering tones of your favourite dark shades, or a universal highlighter to mix with your favourite shadows – the best of both worlds!
