Women of my generation are terrified to use shadows with color. I think we’re scarred because we all saw the super-rich high-pigment colors worn in the 80’s firsthand.
When a makeup artist recently tried to put some pale green eyeshadow on me, I hesitated. But the color itself was so sheer and barely-there, it wasn’t flashy. The hint of green really makes brown eyes pop.
The aforementioned eyeshadow was Chanel’s "Nymphéa" (the image below is NOT of the correct colors). I highly recommend it for a splurge.
For a thrifty alternative, try E.L.F.’s Brightening Eye Color in "Nouveau Neutrals". The shades are perfect for Spring.
