Eyeshadow can be a double-edged sword. It can be one of the first things people see and that’s generally the whole point. A pretty eyeshadow look can invite them in while a mistake can cause a few awkward glances.
There’s no wrong answer here. Well… that’s not true if we’re honest. There are plenty of ways to mess up your eyeshadow (I’ve probably done all of them by now), but pretty is in the eye of the beholder. I’m pretty sure that’s the saying. We’ve gone through thousands of different looks and styles to bring you our favorites and there’s bound to be something you like the look of.
Whether it’s a look you want to copy or some inspiration, we’ve also included a few video tutorials to help you get the look you want. This is a great place to show off your own style and personality too.
