Make rainbow eyeshadows wearable:

Use less colors. The multi-hue eyes are best reserved for the night time or photo shoots. For an everyday look, try less colors, whether it’s purple, blue, pink or yellow.

Keep to a small area. Sweep shadow along the upper lid to the crease — but don’t go all the way up to the browbone which can look like overkill.

Blend, blend, blend. There should be no harsh lines — use a natural bristle brush to apply shadow over the eyelid, blending up so the color gets more sheer as you go.

Dramatize with cat eyes. Sweep shadow out with a winged tip at the outer corners for that sexy feline look.

Hide any dark circles under your eyes using a concealer. If you don’t, they can be accentuated by a bold eyeshadow.

Keep the rest of your face bare to balance the vibrant eyeshadows. Opt for a sheer rose or nude gloss on the lips.
