Most gals stick to a couple of shades of eyeshadow and rely on them to get through any occasion. If you like hues that go with anything, there’s one you might want to add to your collection that you might not have thought of.

According to Allure magazine, pearly white shadow is trendy and, best of all, flattering. It makes your eyes look wide awake and larger, and who doesn’t want that? You can use the color all over your lids, in the inner corners of your eyes and even on your cheekbones for a bit of highlight.

If you’re fair skinned, try Youngblood – Crushed Mineral Eyeshadow in Moonstone. It’s a white shimmer that’s perfect for a pearly look. Darker skinned ladies should go with something a little more golden, as white can look ashy. Use Jane Iredale – Eye Gloss in Champagne Silk.

No matter which variation you choose, you should have fun finishing the look with plenty of liquid eyeliner and mascara. A pearly cat eye with luxe lashes is perfect for going out.
