Help! What should I do with these eyeshadows??

Hi! I've a palette full of colorful Shu Uemura eyeshadows which I don't reach out for at all.

I'm NC 35, Asian with double eyelids. Pray tell me if I should just sell them away or is there any way to make them work well?

I have this palette and the MAC Holiday Metallics palette! I don't mind buying more MAC stuff to make it work too. TIA!!

I love shu uemura e/s! These colors are gorgeous! Except for the yellow, I can think of a lot of looks you can do with these colors. For the blue colors -- put the lighter one all over your lids then the darker blue on your crease then you can maybe mix in the dark purple on the left or another darker blue color like MAC's deep truth or even Blacktied on the outer V to add more depth. For the green same thing with the blues then you can put a darker green like MAC's Humid or Plumage/Stormwatch on the outer V again to add depth. The purple e/s could also be used to line your eye...you can apply the pink all over your lids then line your eyes with the purple, I think it'll be a fun look! For the copper-like e/s, you can apply that to the crease with a gold e/s or mixed in with Bronze e/s. Hope this helps!

i think since you have asian eyes it's better to aplly the darker color to the lids and blend out with the lighter ones..i personally don't like it when people try and create fake depth with the crease techniques outlined before because it doesn't work well and looks wired IMO . asian eyes are very sexy and you should apply make up to play up their beauti, not to create something that's not ther

oh, the yellow and greens would look so good horizontally. yellow/light colour 1/3 inner eye then medium and the last 1/3 slightly winged/cat eye with the darkest shade HTHs!
