I want to try a new color on my eyes. I saw in the recent Avon book a deep plum color that looked very pretty. But have always used a deep blue and recently dark brown. In my younger days, it was always strictly black.
I am 62 and have very fair skin and blonde hair and my eyes are sorta blue and sorta green. Not a good description but they are not a vivid blue and they are not a green either, so I'm not sure what color you'd say they are.
Any how - what color do you think would enhance my eyes the best? Would the plum color work? I don't want to look Gothic or anything. I'm quite old to pull that look off!
Also, what would be my best choice for an accompanying and complimentary shadow/shadows?
I am in need of something different to give my face a boost!
Thanks for any and all tips!

So you think pastels are better now? I always thought maybe they would look too washed out on me since I am so pale any way. I am in a quandary about colors these days. Not enough, too much, too glitzy, not show enough, etc.
Your colors sound really pretty, MissJillie!
Thanks so much for replying!

I have blue eyes and tried charcoal last year. Now I am hooked ! It really makes my eyes pop. I use a shadow pencil by Rimmel Scandaleyes . They also have a pretty blue teal color I wear in the summer. Great holding power and no smudging.

Thank you, Bigpro!!! Those sound really pretty! I will have to look at the Rimmel eye things. They have a really nice selection at Walmart.

How about a gray? I know when I use silver gray eye shadow my eyes really stand out. My eyes are green/gray.
