According to this, I could pull off purple on my eyes. This makes me want to experiment :)

I like to experiment and not be tied down. Sometimes I find colors that I didn't think would work and now are my go to favorites.

Forget the "rules"! Find shades that you like, and that look good on you, and wear them! Makeup is for having FUN with, so have fun with it!

Some wonderful advice...I like to change my eyeshadow color daily, depending on my mood, and my eyes always get compliments. Have fun with your makeup!

I agree with the reviewer who said she wished the article had been arranged by skin color rather than product type. Also, a Prescriptives sales associate typed my skin color years ago as being "on the cusp of red/blue and yellow/orange", so just "cool" or "warm" recommendations don't work for me.
