Light complexion or matte complexion: adapt the color of your makeup
Keep in mind the colors mentioned above (bronze, gold, orange, khaki…); if you have fair skin, go for the lighter shades of these colors and, conversely, if your skin is dark, give preference to the brightest shades. Generally, warm colors look best on tanned complexions and cool colors for paler skin. In any case, apply a base beforehand. This will allow your shadow to keep its shine throughout the day, without slipping into the creases of your eyelid.
