If you want to use a light colored eyeshadow that's perfect. You would use the light colored on top and go with a slightly darker shade of the same color on the bottom.
Example: Smokey Eyes.
You would use a light brown, almost tan color on top. Then a darker brown on your eye lid, and always remember to BLEND!! Take your finger and gently rub your eyeshadow to make it blend.
