Rom&nd Better Than Eyes Music Series in Dry Buckwheat Flower: A taupe-y color story with a champagne shimmer topper. Also, keep in mind that most eyeshadows are sheer and meant to be built up! Korean: The market tends to prefer matte shadows and shimmer toppers.

KATE Brown Shade Eyes: Creamy powder eyeshadows 😍 I have BR-03, neutrals that are more on the purple side. A very easygoing palette I reach for when I don’t know what to wear. Rimmel London Chocolat Sweet Eyes (Japan exclusive line): I have 009, which has neutral shimmers. Just keep in mind the market tends to prefer shimmery eyeshadow. Japanese: Makeup brands tend to cater to OLs (office ladies) so a lot of makeup is neutral. I tend to find muted or mid-toned colors best on me: terracotta, taupe, rosy pink, pinky peach, pinky coral, rosy mauve, browny pink, and medium brown. My seasonal analysis is soft summer-soft autumn. I really like my Asian brands as paleness is a “standard of beauty” over there so color makeup is made to fit lighter skin tones.įor reference, I’m neutral-cool yellow. Palettes that come to mind are Colourpop Stone Cold Fox, That’s Taupe, Tartelette 2 In Clay Bloom, the Cool Tobes Makeup Geek palette, to name a few There are definitely pale people palettes available in these shades.Ĭools have taupes, grays, mauves, and pinky toned highlight shades that are almost white with a hint of pink or even purple sometimes. In general, there’s the cool, neutral, and warm undertones.

Try playing with what you have, and take pictures in sunlight, under flash, and in other lighting conditions and see what you can determine. In the summer, corals, oranges, reds, and terracottas look great on my more pinky-peachy undertones.

I think it’s the olive winter I derive that compliments with these sort of colors. In the winter, greens, mustards, and browns look great with my skin. It’s quite confusing, but I’m finally figuring it out. I have pale, neutral, but almost olive-yellow skin in the winter, then in the summer I look neutral-peach/pink. Like other have said, shadows that have similar undertones to my skin look best on me in my opinion. I think it really depends on your undertones.
