The colors of aquamarine: 12 eye shadow color combinations for March
The March birthstone is aquamarine, which is usually sold in pale blue to mid-tone blue. The translucency of a gemstone gives it a lighter blue overall. There are also grayish blue aquamarines and greener green aquamarines. Here are some color combinations inspired by aquamarine gemstones 🙂
About this series
Each look idea focuses on a “quad” of four shades with the expectation that the appropriate forehead bone or an additional transition shade based on the skin tone is brought in. I know I’m more likely to use five or six hues in a typical look, but I think four is a lucky medium to give a good idea of the “core” color scheme of a look while also giving you the opportunity to / lighten and darken as desired. I’ve listed the colors in this order: inner lid, center of lid, outer lid / fold and fold / over fold or cover.
You may see combinations that are slightly repetitive but the placement varies (e.g. a halo placement where the lightest and shimmering hue is placed in the center) as the placement can create a different effect / look too! You may also want to use your preferred matte / shimmer tones (if applicable) to add versatility to certain palettes. Use these ideas as a starting point!
