How To Apply Pastel Eye Shadow Shades

I have noticed an abundance of pale green, blue and pink eyeshadow on the store shelves this spring, and I just love these pretty pastel shades. Since I normally wear neutral shades, I would love to break out of my beauty rut by using some of these colors. However, I've never really wore pastel colors before and would like some tips on how to apply them from the group. Also, I would like to know what shades of blush and lipstick you would reccomend to use with these eyecolors. Thank you for all of your help! Chrissie :)

Try a little of your neutral shade (browns and tans) shadow and mix a little of the pastel in with it so that you have the best of both. Then experiment, using a little more of one than the other. You will gets tons of mileage from the shadows and can create your own signature color while you are at it. By the way, I have started using subtle colors of blush for eye shadow. The pinks and peaches give you a nice soft hint of color that still opens up the eye area. As for my blushes and lipsticks, I do the same with them (mix my own colors) and choose one area of your face and make that the focal point of your make-up...

Be sure to stop by tomorrow for a new tip!!
