Stila always comes up with the perfect eye trios in colors that can flatter any skin tone! Their new Mandarin Mist Eye Shadow Trios are here just in time for summer, and you can create numbers of looks with these gorgeous, shimmery shades! You can apply them wet or dry, and they will look sheer and pretty all day long!

There are two trios to choose from–Kitten (cool) and Mandarin (warm). Each trio has a light shade, a medium shade, and a dark shade that blend easily to create the perfect smokey eye, or look stunning worn alone! A great tip for using this trio for a smokey eye is to apply the medium shade all over lid, the dark shade on the outer crease, and the light shade on the brow bone as a highlighter. These trios are perfect to stick in your bag and apply makeup on the go. You can get it for only $24 here!

Each shadow can be used as a liner as well! Here’s what you get in the palette:

• 3 Eye shadows in Espresso (dark chocolate brown), Hot Stone (medium ashy brown), and Navajo (creamy pinkish white)

When you have so many color options, choosing an eye shadow can be a very long process! It’s difficult to tell what color eye shadow will look best with each outfit. This is where the color wheel comes in.

You remember the color wheel, right? Certain colors compliment each other–red and green are compliments, blue and orange are compliments, and yellow and violet are compliments. So if you’re wearing a green shirt, a pink shadow (shade of red) will look super cute! Cool, right?

You can make other substitutions of primary and secondary as well. If you’re wearing a purple top, instead of wearing yellow shadow, you can try a gold or bronze! A yellow shirt would also look gorgeous with a soft lilac shadow! There are so many shades color, so be creative! Mix and match, and have fun!
