Hey beauts, Hope you are all well!
Now as we all know there is quite a nip in the air as of late, and with the sun not showing its pretty face very often it can often leave us feeling a bit gloomy ourselves. So I decided to write this post about trying something new, in the hope that a bit of colour will help lift the mood of us and people around us!

I bought a beautiful eyeshadow trio the other day when i was shopping with my sister in Boots. I absolutely adore Boots and Superdrug for those little impulse visits, the ones where you are walking past, and temptation gets you, and pulls you in of course! Then you go in, have a thorough browse around everythinggg,and I dont know about you, but every time i go in there, i discover a new makeup concession to checkout its awesome! I also love boots and superdrug for their cheap brands like 17 cosmetics, Natural Collection, because if youre feeling down one day, and don't have much money you could pick up a new lippie for like £1.99 to cheer yourself up! Now that's what it's all about!
So here is what I bought:
17 eyes trio, in 'Pretty in Pink'
Ok i admit, maybe at £5.49 it is a bit steep for a 'drugstore' eyeshadow but i thought it was oh so pretty!
I have green eyes and I am always trying to wear shades to make my eyes pop- pink and purple work great for green eyes.
When choosing eyeshadow colours try to go for colours that are opposite your natural eye colour on the colour wheel as shown below:
These are called 'complimentary colours' (yes i used to be an art student!) and they really do contrast amazingly against one another.
So as my eyes are green, shades of red and purple really make my eyes pop. Red is a bit hard to pull off though, maybe for some dramatic night time look i'll try it, or Halloween, i will stick with pink and purple for now!
If you have brown eyes: Shades of green look beautiful, as well as greys, and black, you guys can pull of the smokey look really easily!
If you have blue eyes: I would opt for any light pastel colours peach works really well, or for a night time look shimmery bronze!
It's all about choosing the right shade as well, its no good going for the wrong shade of purple or pink when you are feeling tired, as alot of the time you will end up looking like you have been beaten up!
Anyway here is my look using the eyeshadow trio:
It gives such a beautiful fresh faced look, and if you want to make the colour stronger, you don't end up looking like a drag queen, because with green eyes there is that big contrast.
I really like this eyeshadow trio, a must for my collection!
Thanks for reading!
