Most eye colours suit darker shades of black and brown but in the summer it's always nice to add some colour. Palettes are especially good for this time of year as they contain several colours which you can layer up and brighten depending on what look your trying to achieve. Dior's iconic, newly revamped, eye shadow palette is perfect for some colour experimentation; it contains a dark navy shade for a good old fashioned smoky eye, a metallic silver for evenings, a pretty light blue for daytime and a creamy eye liner for that added wow factor. I think it's the perfect starting place for those that want to experiment with colours.
