I’ve seen a few looks lately that use teal eye shadow and think it looks quite nice for summer evening looks. However, I’ve always been a bit hesitant as I have blue/green eyes and think that the combination of blue eye and blue eyeshadow would be too much blue and look excessive.
However, I recently found a couple of looks that utilise teal eye shadow in combination with neutral colours in a way that looks quite pretty and subtle:
I’m mainly into neutrals (think Naked3 palette) and have never really looked into bright eyeshadow. Does anyone have any suggestion for a shade of teal that could be used to recreate these looks?
if you’re looking for a high quality product, go for MAC. if you go the store, or even online, you can find the colors which you’re looking for. i would rather go to the store so you can try swatches. you an easily find a color which is similar to the pictures above.
if you want slightly cheaper ones, go for NYX eyeshadows. i have 3 palletes from nyx but the pallettes are crappy. get the single individual eyshadows or the pigment that comes in a jar. i actually have a teal pigment with slight gold shimmer in it, its beautiful. their pigment thing is just as good as MAC pigments. i have heard their eyeshadows are pretty good but i didn’t like the pallettes. its hard to find nyx in regular stores though so look online for swatches.
Hmm, I wonder if darker blue shadow will make light blue eyes stand out more...and if light blue shadow will make darker blue eyes pop. How about a more violet-blue?
After having a look at MAC, I decided to go with Aquadisiac as it seems to have the most teal/turquoise out of all the shades I looked at. It also looks the most similar to the shade used in the pictures. It’s quite similar to MAC Teal Pigment but a bit lighter with more of a Turquoise undertone.
