TIPS
- If you opt for trendy colors, tread carefully as they can look unnatural unless you balance them with other suitable tones.
- A little color goes a long way. Begin with a little shadow and gradually increase it until you find the amount that suits you best.
- Shadow can look a lot darker in its palette than it will on, so don't let color intensity keep you from trying a shade you like!
