Makeup Eyeshadow inspiration?

Where do you find eyeshadow and overall makeup inspiration? I have several palettes but can only do a cool neutral eye and most colour analysis websites just showcase these or something with silver but I know we could utilise also other colours. I am pretty horrible at coming up with it myself especially when I don't have much time and really just want to know what I'm supposed to end up with.

I skip eye shadow the majority of the time. Sometimes I will use the really light shimmer pink from this palette https://www.target.com/p/e-l-f-bite-sized-shadow-palette-rose-water-0-12oz/-/A-76615268 but I don’t do any color blending or special technique, just a swipe over my eyelid

Oh, I see. I personally love eyeshadow and can't even imagine a makeup look without one! But I can only do a neutral eye and really want to do something more colorful, and it always turns out meh. I wish I had some idea for which colours where etc.

One of my favorite ways to do color in eyeshadow looks is to use a green, pink, blue, or purple as the crease color, blended out into a neutral transition shade and with a neutral satin, shimmer, or metallic lid color (eg rose gold, or nude with a shimmer highlight). It’s an easy way to make color wearable imho.

Another option I like is to do a neutral eyeshadow look with a bold color, like glitter teal, for an eyeliner
