How to combine your lipstick with your eyeshadow:The guide to the 7 best combinations

Ha, what woman has never heard this famous phrase:"It's either the eyes or the mouth". This universal rule of beauty often turns out to be true; especially if you tend to have a little too heavy hand on your cosmetics! Anyway, if you weren't planning to plaster your face with layers of make-up then that's good because it's quite possible to combine your eye make-up with that of your mouth while obtaining a very elegant. However, finding the right combination is not always easy. Who has never wondered, after having done a magnificent eye makeup, what color of lipstick would suit, or vice versa?

If this is your case, then do not hesitate to read this article without further delay and do not waste any more time wondering if your associations work, these are guaranteed.

Bronze eyeshadow and pink lipstick:

The combination of bronze and pink is, in my opinion, a safe bet and a guarantee of chic and elegance. Whatever your skin tone, and therefore the warmth of the shades chosen, the combination of these two colors is always a winning combination. Whether you decide to accentuate the mouth or the eyes more.. even applied with the same intensity, the balance is perfect. To try without further delay!

Champagne eyeshadow and coral lipstick:

This is the ideal “Summer look”! This combination of champagne-colored blush to make the eyes sparkle while remaining light and this coral lipstick which brings a punchy and very fresh side is the perfect balance and the ideal summer look for women who don't like to highlight. value only part of the face. To consume without moderation!

Gold eyeshadow and red lipstick:

Red is the timeless color. But that doesn't mean that with this iconic color you shouldn't dress up your look. In order to highlight this beautiful red, opt for a gold-colored shadow, applied lightly. One coat of mascara later and you're ready to go out and dazzle all your friends!

Black eyeshadow and nude lipstick:

This association is a great classic, I'm not telling you anything! The bias of betting everything on a black and smoky look by associating it with a beige-nude lipstick is a winning combination. The balance is perfect and the famous phrase "either the eyes or the mouth" respected. However, you can still afford a few variations (otherwise it wouldn't be fun, right?):a smoky plum or downright blue (dark) can bring a little rock n' roll side that is not uninteresting.

Grey eyeshadow and pink lipstick:

No matter what balance you find between these two colors, the main thing is that this combination works beautifully! Sometimes glamorous with a luminous smoky gray and barely dewy lips, sometimes fresh and spring-like with a deep pink and a barely visible gray shadow on the eyes. To work, this association requires a bias...it's up to you to choose between the eyes and the mouth!

Brown eyeshadow and burgundy lipstick:

This jumpsuit is more of a fall/winter jumpsuit. But these two colors together are so chic that this look is on its way to becoming a must-have. To find the perfect balance, it is a question here of having a light hand on the brown shadow, to give a vaporous and subtle rendering which will balance with the more sustained lips.

Purple eyeshadow and rosy nude lipstick:

Probably one of the favorite associations of the red carpet! If you want a sexy and fresh look at the same time, bet on this jumpsuit! Whatever your eye color, this combo works wonders. Be careful, however, to keep the balance between the eyes and the mouth so as not to weigh down the makeup.

There you go ladies, now you know all about some of the best “eyeshadow-lipstick” combos out there! I say "a few" because obviously there are a multitude of other combinations that also work wonderfully! Do not hesitate to test other associations, have fun! The only limit is your imagination!

However, always make sure to keep a balance. Wearing eye makeup does not mean not necessarily putting anything on your lips. It's all about intensity!
