Eye combination recommendations

[wheninhell]

Hi friends!
I grow tired of my daytime look, and am curious if you have any eye color combination recommendations that could work during the daytime?
I find myself gravitating towards smokey eyes (love me some eyeliner), but the silver and purple looks I generally do for nighttime are much too overbearing to wear out in sunlight.
I was considering, maybe, a gold or bronze based smokey eye?
Your thoughts?
For reference, I am:
Of half asian, half scandinavian descent
NW15-20
Medium brown hair
Light, golden brown eyes (with slight green and amber flecks)
Problem crease (namely, I have creases, but it's almost like I have too much skin on my eyelids above the creases, so when my eyes are open the skin rolls over the area below my crease. As such, any color that I put in this area [particularly on the inside of the eye] does not really show up, and my upper eyelid looks puffy).

i think you can do somkey purples for daytime - i tend to do the brighter ones like Creme de Violet, Hepcat, mixed sometimes with Sketch or Pink Venus...and my browbone color is typically Brule or Orb. even if you used silver, i would use it on a small area.

when i first got into e/s, an MA told me you cam do smokey eyes with any colors (i liked the black smokey look, but was too scared to do it). smokey greens and gold probably look really good with your eye color.

color is fun. my sister use to wear only browns - i told her to add color and since then, she's been a color convert and loves MAC.

btw, i'm asian, too, and my sis and i both have the eyelid/crease issue. smokey eye can be done on anyone.

o0o i love brown/bronze smokey eyes! i pretty much do that type of eye makeup on a daily basis... i'm asian as well, so i have that crease problem also, but i love using tempting or mulch, and mix it with a green color like sumptuous olive. or sometimes i use cranberry (but use a light hand with this color because too dark and it makes asian eyes look bruised haha) and mulch. hth! =D

- Satin Taupe up into Shroom with Nehru on lashline, with a touch of Expensive Pink on the inside corner of the eye.
- Mulch up into Shroom with Espresso on lashline.
- Satin Taupe blended into Femme Noir across the lid, Nylon to highlight.

Etc etc etc. Work brown and bronze-browns into deep greys and smoke greens for a daytime smokey eye; it's less overbearing than blending into black.
