Choosing the right eyeshadow for my skin complexion
When it comes to eyeshadow, there is no one rule. Though makeup can be used to enhance our natural features, it is also a form of creativity which means we can use any shade of eyeshadow we want if it makes us feel good. However, getting used to the world of eyeshadow can be tough and considering your complexion along with the colours that complement it is a good starting point before trying out other shades.
Whether you have a light, medium or dark complexion, all skin types have a shade to them. These are usually called: golden, neutral and rose – this shade is known as an undertone.
If you have a subtle appearance of blue or pink in your complexion, this means you have a cool undertone. Whereas those who have yellowish hues have a warmer, golden undertone. If you have neither or the appearance of both, you’d be considered neutral.
To get back to makeup, a nude eyeshadow look is flattering for all skin types, easy to master and the perfect way to enhance your skin’s natural complexion.
For example: If you have cool undertones in your complexion and fair skin, opt for a green and silver eyeshadow that can be found in Limitless Eyeshadow Palette 1. This will neutralise those blue and pink undertones in the skin.
For a yellow or golden undertone, choose a brown and gold eyeshadow look that is found in the Limitless Eyeshadow Palette 2. Opting for this palette will give warmth to your skin and an effortless shimmer.
If you have a neutral undertone, this means you can play around with both warm and cooler tones, but also experiment with the darker shades in Limitless Eyeshadow Palette 3. Try creating a black eyeshadow look combined with a jewel-toned red and champagne gold. These won’t appear too harsh against your skin’s complexion and undertones.
Nude Eyeshadow Ideas: Limitless Eyeshadow Palette 1
Create a nude eyeshadow look with a sophisticated twist by using Limitless Eyeshadow Palette 1.
To recreate this long-lasting nude eyeshadow look, start by packing the deeper medium brown across the eyelid, blending out and across your eye to add depth.
Then take the complementary olive-green shade, and pack and build on the outer corner of the eyelid, blending into the deeper brown eyeshadow.
Once blended, add the frosted shimmer shade as a highlight to the inner corner of the eye. This creates show-stopping dimension and completes your simple nude eyeshadow look. You can also add a light touch of shimmer to the brow bone to create a subtle lift and highlight.
To complete the look, add Black Magic Mascara for an intense finish.

Once blended, pat in the shimmering highlight from the centre of the eyelid towards the inner corner, opting for either the copper or champagne shade. The contrast of brown and gold eyeshadow adds subtle dimension to create the perfect nude eyeshadow look.
