Everything You Need To Know About Blending Contrasting Colored Eyeshadow

Before you dive right into creating bold eyeshadow looks, you'll want to learn a bit more about color theory and how the shades in your makeup bag go together. One of the easiest ways to do this is by using the color wheel, tools for which can be found on sites like Canva and Adobe. The color wheel was created by Isaac Newton in 1666. Color theory uses the wheel to figure out which colors look good together.

Canva notes "color harmony" is created when two colors that look nice together are paired up, and this includes sets of contrasting colors. Complementary colors are located opposite each other on the color wheel, and when put together, they create a bright and eye-catching look. In terms of makeup, this can work if you're doing a bright summertime look or if you want to make a statement during a night out. 

Contrasting colors will really pop when used together because of their placement on the color wheel. Hone your makeup skills as you learn how to properly blend them.
