Also, I know you don’t really have dark or hollow under but I would LOVE a video in this series that specifically focuses on tackling dark and hollow under eyes without looking to makeup-y/too made up!
I have a highlighter that is creamy and peachy, and after watching this video I tried putting it on just the hollows with a pretty precise flat brush, and it looks so much better than concealer and color correct or ever did! I am in a state of game changing shock right now! The highlight brought it forward, and the peachy tone countered the bluish purple, and it is so sheer!!
My mother is a painter. I grew up with this amazing walking, talking, encyclopedic storehouse of knowledge re colour. Long before these colour correctors arrived en masse, I was using eyeshadows to correct my rosacea and under-eyes and blemishes because they were the only things available. But you’ve given me so much more in depth information as to what’s going on with the actual cosmetic products and how they behave and such. I prefer to wear as little makeup as possible and get the results I want and this information will help me with that. Lot’s of new insight to play with. Thank you so much 😊
One useful thing about being a fair-light olive is the green does help with the reddness by itself. Using and creating an olive undertone has been a game changer.
I was going to reply with the same thing!!! Exa green color corrector is essential for me and it works. It’s the one time bring a light olive totally works in our favor 😂😂🫒
I love using East Asian concealer palettes to avoid this color correcting confusion (Judydoll 5 Shade Concealer Palette for example). It’s very common to have a base concealer shade + more shades that are SLIGHTLY different in hue (like a desaturated greenish peach for inflamed blemishes, saturated pinkish peach for under eyes, brighter and lighter peach to lessen the appearance of skin sagging) so that you can use it directly and precisely on the “problematic” parts of the skin. It’s like pre-mixed color correcting concealer in a pan! As a medium olive, the green shades commonly used for blemishes are a perfect match for certain parts of my face too, which is a plus. Concealer palettes here in the States typically have those extreme red, green, blue/purple shades where you’re expected to mix/ layer them with your own shade. I assume it has to do with shade inclusivity, so ig there’s downsides to everything. I know MAC has a similar concealer palette, but I have yet to try it because it’s $42.
OH MY GOSH!!! Today is the first time i've seen your 4k footage on a large 4k monitor AND THANK YOU!!!!!!!! I know you've said in your videos for a while the shooting with your 4k camera shows *everything*, but this is truly the first time i've been able to watch a video and the person's skin looks SO real (like as if you were stood in front of me in person!). I've been struggling with my skin & impulsively picking at my face over the tiniest (non-) flaws, and it's so refreshing to see that - woah, crazy - other people have pores and textured skin too. I commend you greatly, and really appreciate your videos that little bit more. Thank you!!!!
I love that I did stumble upon this conclusion half a year ago but with less nuanced language, along with the realization that adding a bit of green to my foundation was glorious for most of the redness in my skin and to gst a better shade match. It also explained why peach under the eyes always looked off to me, but once I realized my under eyes are actually purple, yellowish concealer became such a friend
I swear, Kackie, this is the video TH-cam needed. I have neutral-cool light skin with some olive undertones, my undereye dark circles are brownish-greenish, and when it comes to color correcting with the usual pink or peach, NOTHING WORKS and I couldn't figure out why. I'm going to buy a brightener first thing tomorrow and see what I need from there. Thank you!
Omg I have the same problem! Been agonizing over how to color correct my brownish-greenish dark circles as a pale-to-light olive. THANK YOU. Going to explore yellows because pink and peach brighteners don't do anything to help.
The further into your video I get, the more it's resonating! 😭 For so long I thought 'red marks have to be corrected with green before complexion products' only to find that those areas would then look ashy af on my olive toned skin... and then require orange to be added back in... After lots of tinkering to help mask blemishes, hyperpigmentation - and on rare occasions even full on scabbing - I found that if I just used my peachy 'undereye brightener' on pretty much all of these areas straight off the bat, then the majority of the 'correcting' would already be done. It never made sense but just happened to work, so thank you for explaining the colour theory and making me feel less crazy hahaha!
Really wish those green to beige correctors were offered in a range of shades. I'm a very fair olive and the Dr. Jart turns bright dark orange on me as soon as I start blending it out. A sheer light green on its own tends to work great to just cancel redness without the look of a lot of coverage.
Same with Dr. Jart I’m pretty neutral undertone but as an African American it goes completely grey and it layered horribly under my foundation and skin tints. 😢
A very pale olive skin toned girl here. Thank you so much for this video. Loving your whole series on approaching makeup from art theory. Please keep doing them 😃
Man I wish I had this video 10 years ago! So informative, thanks Kackie. I managed to figure out things for my skin over the years (eventually lol), but the biggest game changer has been accepting that my skin is not perfect and that is absolutely ok.
Ok, I need to change what I have been doing. I was putting color corrector on first and I was using the color full strength directly off the pallet. Thank you. I love your color theory videos. ❤
Thank you for addressing this topic, Kackie! Color correcting is what I would consider to be a “never skip” step in my makeup routine and I appreciate your suggestions for finessing this process. 💜
I looooovvvvee this video. Seriously. Love. I have very desaturated, cool-neutral undertones with a red overtone. AKA I’m pale AF and red AF. Color correcting is the lifeblood of my makeup routine, but sometimes they just don’t work or they look grey. So this was incredibly helpful for me!! Thank you for all of the art math!!!! 🤍🤍🤍
As someone that has excelled in color theory in cosmetology school back in 06… god I love when you talk color. Even more so when you tell us to forget what the product is marketed as! Feels like having a cup of coffee and picking apart an equally artistically minded friend’s brain apart. You’re my fave “beauty influencer” tho I find your content to be far more than just that type of content.
Can confirm - the Dr. Jart Cicapair cream WILL leave a cast for medium-darker skin tones! It left a slight cast on me during summer (light/medium-medium neutral olive toned), however, I did find the Cicapair Camo Drops to be more forgiving!! Would recommend them as good alternative for those around my skin tone who would still like gentle all-over correction + additional SPF 35 cover 🙂
@@kackie I just went to purchase some more and it turns out in the UK the Colour correcting cream has no SPF protection at all!!! The camo drops do still contains SPF, no idea why, but clearly the cream is a different formula in the UK v USA!!
I loved this!! Having a lot of excess redness in my face, I never understood trying to beige-wash my face -- only to add more faint redness back in. 😖 Thank you so much! ❤️
I am a less is more with correcting. I honestly wait until after I've done all of my liquid and cream steps because you're right, some things will be corrected by the other steps and not need additional attention. I have the elf putty undereye brightener (I love this under my eyes; it definitely decreases the amount of concealer I use there) and the elf color correctors. I rarely need to bust out the color correctors at all. Thank goodness they were only $4 each!
I LOVE these videos so much!!! Your perspective on color and how to use makeup is so refreshing! I've never heard it explained this way and it just makes so much sense. Please keep making these videos because they are one of a kind.
I've been experimenting with using more blush lately (hmm wonder who influenced me) and a liberal application of a brownish pink blush is the best solution I've found to my sun-damage brown spots on fair skin. And it's fun!
I have a lot of red but even my sheerest tinted moisturizer covers it almost completely and a little powder finishes it. And you’re absolutely right that if the pink shows through on my checks, I don’t even use blush those days. I have black eyelashes and wear glasses. My natural lashes can brush against my lashes. Mascara leaves streaks on my glasses unless I let it dry all the way first. Most of the time, I don’t wear mascara. Because I wear glasses, I tend to go with bolder eyeshadow and eyeliner. It accentuates my eyes but I can’t wear it too high or I look like a clown.
Yesss! This is exactly what I needed to hear about today! I don't wear full coverage makeup anymore. I had terrible acne and formed a bad relationship with it. I have just recently started wearing it again and I don't know how to properly conceal or color correct without having to put heavy makeup everywhere else on my face as well. I've been having such a hard time with concealing under eyes without having the grey freckle issue. Your videos always put a smile on my face. ❤
Your heart is so sweet! Making sure first thing, that no feels like there's anything wrong with them. Your heart is beautiful! I love learning from you too. You're allot of fun, with great information!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏼🩷
Kackie this video was great timing! I recently found out I am in early perimenopause 😢 and I am dealing with new skin issues like masking/hyperpigmentation and some broken capillaries, and I am a no-makeup makeup girlie so I wasn’t sure how to get the coverage I want in those areas without full-coverage foundation. Thank you so much!
The case for a (very thin!) layer of green color corrector: light olive skin with roseaca. In my case, the overall redness canceled out the green, leading me to buy foundations that were too yellow. Now I do have good shade matches (Glossier stretch foundation & concealer, MOB Beauty foundation), but I feel like I need to use less product overall if I use a little green corrector in the reddest areas first. I do still struggle with covering pimples, though, so I'm definitely going to try these tips. 💜
I’m very fair with rosacea on the apples of my cheeks. While using a a small amount of green corrector (i like the Exa one) as well, I have found that using a red blush effectively camouflages the redness better than plastered concealer. . Thankfully, I can wear reds.
God I wish you could see my under eye bags, I have tried a lot of different products and techniques over the years. I have fair-neutral skin and then deep blue-purple bags with some festoon qualities. If I correct I still end up with a deep gray. I feel like your out of box thinking would know the solution. I just tried a few things and still gray. I appreciate you!!
It sounds like you have the same problem as me! I have very blue undereye circles that are super noticeable if I'm wearing colored eyeshadow. My current solution is to use a concealer for a skin tone that is much warmer/yellower than my neutral-cool/bluer base skin tone, and then top it with a liiiiittttle bit of powder foundation that matches my skin tone. The extra yellow in the concealer cancels out some of the blue in my undereye, but it still has enough other vaguely-my-skin-tone pigment that it doesn't just look gray. Then, a light non-opaque dusting of powder foundation helps match that area to the rest of my face. A lot of the time, this is the only complexion makeup I wear. It's not a foolproof method but it's the best I've got at this point after playing around more with makeup and color math over the last couple of months.
I can't really express how satisfying and refreshing these colour theory videos have been! I love them soooooo much! But also, please, try not to feel pressured to always come up with fresh new content related to colour theory, your videos in general are awesome and as a true follower of your channel, I'd hate to see you burnt out. Love you, Kackie! ❤
Love this!!!!! I tend not to buy correctors anymore, and truly using some of my emollient blushes (think Merit) and under-paint my dark under eyes which are not really blue lol - I used one of those orange sticks once and a light medium coverage concealer - I looked salmon color under my eyes 🤣.. anyway, I used one of your previous videos to figure this out but I am delighted to see you actually do this video so that I can experiment further.
I find peachy-pink concealers & correctors work best for covering redness. I often just use a peachy-pink concealer in the center of my face to knock back my redness from rosacea & then I often don't even need any kind of foundation or skin tint/BB cream. For socket darkness around the eyes (caused by bone structure not dark circles) I use as pale of a concealer shade as looks natural on my skintone to visually lighten that shadow area. Green always looks grey & weird on me. 😒
I’ve been having to color correct my entire life for some degree of rosacea at all times. For years I have used Tarte Shape Tape color corrector in green . After my primer, I take ever so slightly a whisper of the green color on my fingertip and dab it over my cheeks and somewhat blend it with the primer before all sets down. Mind you I put such a thin amount that you can hardly call it green. After that, I use, whatever foundation or tint that I want to. I am extremely fair and wear some of the lightest neutral foundations. Thank you for pointing out that Less Is More.
Ah this is giving me memories of buying yaby cosmetics tubes of green or blue, or white tubes to correct foundations back in the day where there were super limited shade ranges on the market.
Thanks for a great video. I also have an art/design background, so I get what you're saying about the miniscule amounts of color needed to make a big shift. It might be helpful -- and it would definitely be fun -- to see a "Color Mixing 101" type video where you demonstrate with paints on your palette.
I am ENTHRALLED. I am of German and Scots Irish and Welsh descent and have have purple under eye bags from birth, along with blue purple veins at both corners of my mouth. I have looked sad, angry, and tired my entire life. I have pretty intense hayfever, too, with itchy eyeballs so bad I have wanted to claw them out and use a bottle brush on the sockets. Yearly rubbing in spring and summer for 58 years has left me with crepey texture under the eyes and hooded lids. My RBF is Boss Level, especially when I am bare faced. The one saving grace is the relatively less aged and damaged skin everywhere else, from oiliness and being overweight, a marked preference for indoor living, and a light hand with makeup in my youth. Not much to correct, and not much point, since it shows anyway. So, moisturize, sunscreen, tint, and colors for fun.😊 Or, just the first two during peak pollen times.😂
When i was a teenager, we had family friends who are Swedish, and the mother had very light translucent skin - i could see the blue veins on both upper and lower eyelids, and i thought it was just the most beautiful thing! - that and freckles lol. It's always struck me as strange that everyone seems to want to flatten out the color and depth around their eyes, and that people used to hide their freckles. 😅
I didn't mean that to be contradictory, I guess I'm falling into the old addage of 'the grass is always greener on the other side' - I would love freckles and translucent eylids instead of my rosacea, just like I always wished to have curly hair, but my sister who is curly wished she had straight hair 😅🤷♀️
I will have to watch this one a couple f times. You must have had extra coffee today, you were talking so fast my poor old brain could not keep up. I do save these colour theory ones and rewatch as often as necessary until the information sinks in. Thank you for the ADHD short form series on colour theory. Love your content and your personality, FFE! (Fan For Ever)
It's so funny, i ended up buying the green elf color corrector to help with my rosacea & hated it so so much because I had no idea wtf I was doing. Instead I started using the cicapair & absolutely love it!
I have very dark under eyes and I find it absolutely impossible to cover it with anything. I'm looking forward to experiment with your tips because it's very hard to find similar content made by someone who has under eye discolouration even remotely close to what I have.
Love this series So, qq: which would be the right color for a Big melasma spot on fair cooled toned skin? Something more like apricot instead of pink to take it to a middle point some way? Thanks so much!!! You’re unique Love your natural way of expressing yourself
I wish they made a version of the Dr Jart Cica product for really fair skin tones too (it's too beige for me) 😭 but I'm so thankful you discussed how to DIY your own light color correcting so I can try to DIY my own lotion/option
Not specifically related to this video, but what would it say about my skin if blushes turn red on me (as opposed to pink)? The tool you made a while back was really cool but I wasn’t sure where red would fit in!
Light olive with rosacea and dark undereyes... The struggle!!! I've found an asian correction palette that is actually muted, more skintone like. Game changer! Catrice"No More Red" primer (no white base), Miniscule amounts, then just a powder foundation that leans yellow and I'm done! Colour theory is wild! Western correctors never worked for me, way too saturated.
I had to stop trying to correct all my “flaws”. It was getting pricy, and it was costing me my self confidence! I’m 60, so I have fine lines, sun damage, texture, and some broken capillaries, trying to cover them made them more noticeable. I had to start over using minimal products and just blurring everything. But having said that, I love this kind of content!
I'm 36, mother of a toddler and with grown up acne. I need under eye corrector and acne correction, but theres no way my skin will accept that amount of makeup, it will add 10 years plus show wrinklesI don't even know exist. Thank you for this video, I'll try this because I'm at lost righ now, especially when it comes to under eye circles.
I have rosacea with redness on my chin and cheeks. I use the Catrice green primer in these areas. It sheers out a lot and then I use whatever foundation that I want. I recently got the Bobbi Brown under eye stick corrector (more of a brightener, I think?). I’m not too worried about my under eye, just want to look more awake.
Hello. I’ve recently started watching you channel and you have so much knowledge, I enjoy watching you. You may have a video for this but I struggle to find anything on this. I have a problem trying to pick eyeshadow that will look right with my eye colour. I have grey eyes and all I’ve really read is use brown and neutral colours. What do you suggest for grey eyes? I’d like to have more colour pop. Does the eye colour matter with eye shadow? I’d love to see a video about how to pick the eye shadow colours. I really enjoyed your video on the perfect red, which is why I thought of this.
Also, I know you don’t really have dark or hollow under but I would LOVE a video in this series that specifically focuses on tackling dark and hollow under eyes without looking to makeup-y/too made up!

It sounds like you have the same problem as me! I have very blue undereye circles that are super noticeable if I'm wearing colored eyeshadow. My current solution is to use a concealer for a skin tone that is much warmer/yellower than my neutral-cool/bluer base skin tone, and then top it with a liiiiittttle bit of powder foundation that matches my skin tone. The extra yellow in the concealer cancels out some of the blue in my undereye, but it still has enough other vaguely-my-skin-tone pigment that it doesn't just look gray. Then, a light non-opaque dusting of powder foundation helps match that area to the rest of my face.
A lot of the time, this is the only complexion makeup I wear. It's not a foolproof method but it's the best I've got at this point after playing around more with makeup and color math over the last couple of months.
Fantastic tutorial. Thank you.
I can't really express how satisfying and refreshing these colour theory videos have been! I love them soooooo much!
But also, please, try not to feel pressured to always come up with fresh new content related to colour theory, your videos in general are awesome and as a true follower of your channel, I'd hate to see you burnt out. Love you, Kackie! ❤
Nah don't worry. My brain is churning on this stuff all the time, and this was VERY requested!
Love this!!!!! I tend not to buy correctors anymore, and truly using some of my emollient blushes (think Merit) and under-paint my dark under eyes which are not really blue lol - I used one of those orange sticks once and a light medium coverage concealer - I looked salmon color under my eyes 🤣.. anyway, I used one of your previous videos to figure this out but I am delighted to see you actually do this video so that I can experiment further.
Kackie, you’re a joy to watch and listen to! Am loving your brilliant videos and learning so much genuinely useful makeup techniques
This video is so incredibly helpful and makes a lot of sense, thank you! ❤️
I find peachy-pink concealers & correctors work best for covering redness. I often just use a peachy-pink concealer in the center of my face to knock back my redness from rosacea & then I often don't even need any kind of foundation or skin tint/BB cream. For socket darkness around the eyes (caused by bone structure not dark circles) I use as pale of a concealer shade as looks natural on my skintone to visually lighten that shadow area. Green always looks grey & weird on me. 😒
Very helpful, thank you! This gets my graphic designer background tickled as well. FYI, did you hear about Pantone ? I CANNOT imagine.
I’ve been having to color correct my entire life for some degree of rosacea at all times. For years I have used Tarte Shape Tape color corrector in green . After my primer, I take ever so slightly a whisper of the green color on my fingertip and dab it over my cheeks and somewhat blend it with the primer before all sets down. Mind you I put such a thin amount that you can hardly call it green. After that, I use, whatever foundation or tint that I want to. I am extremely fair and wear some of the lightest neutral foundations. Thank you for pointing out that Less Is More.
My favorite art teacher!!! 🎨 💄
Thank you, I found this genre of product so confusing I never even dabbled. Now interested in perhaps dipping a toe in
Love this, thank you! Also, your cardigan is DREAMY!😍
Thank you! It's from KULE!
Can you go into what you mean by “brightener”? Is it a highlighter or a lighter concealer or a whole other beast? Thanks 😊
Whole other beast! Becca under eye brightener was one of the first well known ones (for pale people anyway)
It's now sold by smashbox
You’re right about blush! I have rosacea and it looks red and splotchy with no makeup. Add a little blush? It’s all even and perfect skin
I just saw a post about a tattoo artist who “blasted” a portrait tattoo with green and the first thing I thought of was you and ✨art math✨
I can not get enough of this series!
Thanks for this very informative video! I’m really loving this series! I can’t wait to see what you put out next.
Ah this is giving me memories of buying yaby cosmetics tubes of green or blue, or white tubes to correct foundations back in the day where there were super limited shade ranges on the market.
I’ve never got into the whole colour correcting thing, so this video was really interesting.
Such an informative video, looking at my skin tones differently now 👍
Thanks for a great video. I also have an art/design background, so I get what you're saying about the miniscule amounts of color needed to make a big shift. It might be helpful -- and it would definitely be fun -- to see a "Color Mixing 101" type video where you demonstrate with paints on your palette.
I am ENTHRALLED. I am of German and Scots Irish and Welsh descent and have have purple under eye bags from birth, along with blue purple veins at both corners of my mouth. I have looked sad, angry, and tired my entire life. I have pretty intense hayfever, too, with itchy eyeballs so bad I have wanted to claw them out and use a bottle brush on the sockets. Yearly rubbing in spring and summer for 58 years has left me with crepey texture under the eyes and hooded lids. My RBF is Boss Level, especially when I am bare faced. The one saving grace is the relatively less aged and damaged skin everywhere else, from oiliness and being overweight, a marked preference for indoor living, and a light hand with makeup in my youth. Not much to correct, and not much point, since it shows anyway. So, moisturize, sunscreen, tint, and colors for fun.😊 Or, just the first two during peak pollen times.😂
When i was a teenager, we had family friends who are Swedish, and the mother had very light translucent skin - i could see the blue veins on both upper and lower eyelids, and i thought it was just the most beautiful thing! - that and freckles lol.
It's always struck me as strange that everyone seems to want to flatten out the color and depth around their eyes, and that people used to hide their freckles. 😅
I didn't mean that to be contradictory, I guess I'm falling into the old addage of 'the grass is always greener on the other side' - I would love freckles and translucent eylids instead of my rosacea, just like I always wished to have curly hair, but my sister who is curly wished she had straight hair 😅🤷♀️
Another awesome video! Thank u
I will have to watch this one a couple f times. You must have had extra coffee today, you were talking so fast my poor old brain could not keep up. I do save these colour theory ones and rewatch as often as necessary until the information sinks in. Thank you for the ADHD short form series on colour theory. Love your content and your personality, FFE! (Fan For Ever)
For a woman with very little melatonin under her eyes (think almost white), this has been a wonderful tutorial. Thanks
You have no idea how much I love you content ♡♡♡♡♡ painting color theory is totally the best when one is painting on an actual living face 😂
Each one of your videos is an AMAZING class. Thank you so much!!
It's so funny, i ended up buying the green elf color corrector to help with my rosacea & hated it so so much because I had no idea wtf I was doing. Instead I started using the cicapair & absolutely love it!
I usually try to find a concealer with a bit more peach in it so I can get away with only using one product.
Thank you so much! This video was so incredibly informative and helpful 🙌🤗🎉
I have very dark under eyes and I find it absolutely impossible to cover it with anything. I'm looking forward to experiment with your tips because it's very hard to find similar content made by someone who has under eye discolouration even remotely close to what I have.
Love this series So, qq: which would be the right color for a Big melasma spot on fair cooled toned skin? Something more like apricot instead of pink to take it to a middle point some way? Thanks so much!!! You’re unique Love your natural way of expressing yourself
Great info! I am going to get the sigma palette as it will hopefully help my red spots (Roseacia) with my Cicaphor green color correction/sunscreen!
Thank you, this was very useful.
I love this series. So helpful!
I wish they made a version of the Dr Jart Cica product for really fair skin tones too (it's too beige for me) 😭 but I'm so thankful you discussed how to DIY your own light color correcting so I can try to DIY my own lotion/option
I LOVE this series of videos!!!
Not specifically related to this video, but what would it say about my skin if blushes turn red on me (as opposed to pink)? The tool you made a while back was really cool but I wasn’t sure where red would fit in!
I use a pale joah blush to correct for under eye pigmentation works wonders
This makes so much sense! Thank you!
Love this video - thanks for explaining it so well!
This was helpful. Trying now.
Light olive with rosacea and dark undereyes... The struggle!!! I've found an asian correction palette that is actually muted, more skintone like. Game changer! Catrice"No More Red" primer (no white base), Miniscule amounts, then just a powder foundation that leans yellow and I'm done! Colour theory is wild! Western correctors never worked for me, way too saturated.
Brilliant. Thank you. ❤
Kackie casually dropping a standard deviation there to have actual math un artmath 😂😊❤
Thankyou !....... this was soooo helpful
I had to stop trying to correct all my “flaws”. It was getting pricy, and it was costing me my self confidence! I’m 60, so I have fine lines, sun damage, texture, and some broken capillaries, trying to cover them made them more noticeable. I had to start over using minimal products and just blurring everything. But having said that, I love this kind of content!
God I needed this video in my life. Thank you ❤
I'm 36, mother of a toddler and with grown up acne. I need under eye corrector and acne correction, but theres no way my skin will accept that amount of makeup, it will add 10 years plus show wrinklesI don't even know exist. Thank you for this video, I'll try this because I'm at lost righ now, especially when it comes to under eye circles.
Loved this! What brightener palette are you using? Thanks
Soooooo informative ❤
I'm still a bit confused. I still do not completely understand. I will re-watch and see if i get it on a second go round 😮🎉😮
I have rosacea with redness on my chin and cheeks. I use the Catrice green primer in these areas. It sheers out a lot and then I use whatever foundation that I want. I recently got the Bobbi Brown under eye stick corrector (more of a brightener, I think?). I’m not too worried about my under eye, just want to look more awake.
Hello. I’ve recently started watching you channel and you have so much knowledge, I enjoy watching you. You may have a video for this but I struggle to find anything on this. I have a problem trying to pick eyeshadow that will look right with my eye colour. I have grey eyes and all I’ve really read is use brown and neutral colours. What do you suggest for grey eyes? I’d like to have more colour pop. Does the eye colour matter with eye shadow? I’d love to see a video about how to pick the eye shadow colours. I really enjoyed your video on the perfect red, which is why I thought of this.
