1. Start with a Solid Base

Before diving into bright shades, ensure your eyeshadow has the best possible canvas. Using a primer like the ARTDECO All in One Eye Primer is a game-changer. This primer neutralises redness and imperfections while making your eyeshadow pop with vibrant intensity. Plus, it helps prevent creasing and fading, keeping your masterpiece intact all day long.

2. Choose Your Colours Wisely

When starting out with colourful eyeshadow, opt for shades that complement your eye colour. If you have blue eyes, try warm tones like golds and oranges. Green eyes pop with purples and reds, while brown eyes can pull off almost any colour!

The ARTDECO Eyeshadow collection offers a wide range of bold, pearly shades to suit every mood and occasion. Some must-try colours include:

  • .55 Pearly Mint Green – A fresh, playful hue perfect for spring.

  • .69A Pearly Smokey Blue – A deep, sultry shade for a dramatic look.

  • .88A Pearly Soft Lilac – A soft yet bold pastel to brighten up your makeup routine.

Another option for when you want plenty of versatility and makeup options is to choose an eyeshadow  palette.

3. Experiment with Different Finishes

Playing with different textures can add depth and dimension to your look. A creamy, long-wear option like the ARTDECO High Performance Eyeshadow Stylo is perfect for an easy-to-blend, vibrant finish. Shades like .53 Nights in Apulia (deep blue) and .65 South Bay (shimmering mid blue) bring bold colour and a shimmering touch for extra impact.

4. Blend, Blend, Blend!

When working with bold colours, blending is key. Use a fluffy brush to seamlessly transition between shades and avoid harsh lines. If you’re using multiple colours, start with lighter shades and gradually build up the intensity with darker ones.

5. Try a Pop of Colour

Not ready to go all-in on colourful eyeshadow? Try a subtle pop of colour instead! Apply a vibrant shade to your lower lash line or the inner corner of your eyes for a fun yet wearable effect. The ARTDECO High Performance Eyeshadow Stylo works perfectly for this technique, thanks to its creamy, smudge-proof formula.

6. Lock in Your Look

Once you’ve created your colourful masterpiece, set it with a lightweight setting spray or translucent powder to keep everything in place. This step helps maintain vibrancy and ensures your eyeshadow stays flawless all day.

7. Confidence is Key

The most important part of experimenting with colourful eyeshadow? Confidence! Don’t be afraid to play with bold hues, mix unexpected shades, and step out of your comfort zone. Makeup is all about self-expression, and the best looks come from having fun with it.
