Hey Ladies! So I would like to focus on highlighting the color of your eyes with certain eyeshadows. Many women want to highlight the color of their eyes and just don't know how to
do it. The truth is that many times finding the right shade of makeup can make
all of the difference. Brown eyes, blue eyes, green eyes, or hazel eyes, they
all have makeup styles that can make those eyes really "pop" out.
Blue Eyes
If you have blue eyes there are several shadow shades that will work for you.
Shades in the brown, rose and violet families work best generally. They will
contrast with the cool tone of your blue eyes and make them stand out. It is
also important to use shades that are darker in tone than that of your natural
eye color. Try rich browns, golds, warm taupes, soft peaches, lavender, lilac
and fuchsia. A common mistake is using blue shadow that is the same or very
close to the natural eye color. This can make your eyes appear dull. To get a
smoky effect mix your darker shadow with a little bit of black.
For eyeliner, go with a brown shade. Traditional black eyeliner will take
away from your eyes. A dark or medium brown eyeliner will work better for blue
eyes. Also, you might choose to use a darker shade of eye shadow as your liner
instead of a liquid or pencil liner. This will give you a more "smudged" look.
For mascara, use brown or brown/black mascara. The brown shade will open and
brighten your eyes without drawing attention away from your beautiful color. If
you can get away with black mascara, use it sparingly.
Green Eyes
Violet and plum eye shadow shades are best for green eyes. Warmer colors like
deep purples, mauves, lilacs, and medium pinks are good choices. Browns will
also look nice with green eyes. Try bronzes, golds, coppers, deep greens,
peaches and apricots. Avoid cooler colors like silvers, blues, whites and
pastels. These can give you a washed out look. Use lighter colors to highlight
the brow bone (peach, taupe, and apricot). Darker shades should go on the crease
of the eye (deep brown, deep purple, deep green) and medium shades are to be
applied to the eyelid (copper, lilac, mauve). Softly blend the colors together
to create a finished and smoky look.
For eyeliner, try a dark brown shade. Black eyeliner will be too harsh. For
special occasions you could get a little fancy with gold or bronze liner. Your
mascara should be brownish black also. Use black mascara sparingly.
Brown Eyes
Brown eyes are the easiest to compliment! This eye color can get away with
all of those bright colors without look tacky. You can go with greens, golds,
browns, pinks, blues, grays and purples. Earthy colors look great with brown
eyes. Any shade of blue is going to look best with brown eyes. Cooler tones
contrast well and make the eyes stand out. Choose a shade lighter than your eye
color for a more natural and clean look. If you choose a shade dark you will
appear more dramatic and sexy.
Black eyeliner will work nicely with brown eyes. It will give you a dramatic
look and really make the eyes pop. Choose a darker liner in a shade that matches
your eye shadow for a more subtle look. For example, a navy liner will
compliment blue eye shadows. To make the eyes really stand out you can use a
white liner on the inside of your bottom lid and a darker shade on the top lid.
This can give you an "ethereal" look. This trick will also make small eyes
appear bigger. Use some black mascara to open and brighten the eyes while
highlighting their warm and rich tone
Hazel
Shades of pale pink, light purple and sheer blush look great with hazel eyes.
Pair pink with purple shades and show off your girly side. Apply a deep, dark
shade to your crease. Use a slightly upward and outward motion. Use some shimmer
on your lids for an "everyday" appearance. This will make your whole look glow.
Hazel eyes stand out with deep greens, lavenders and shades with soft yellow
undertones. To bring out the gold in your eyes, choose golden based eye shadows.
To bring out the green specks in your eyes choose a brighter green shade like
emerald and apply in three different intensities. To bring out the blue specks
in your eyes go with purple in three different shades. To highlight the brown
base of your hazel eyes stick with natural shades of brown. This will give you
that "doe-like" appearance.
For a stunning look pair all of these eye shadow choices with black eyeliner
and mascara. To bring out the green and blue specks with a more natural look, go
with soft natural shades paired with dark green or blue liner and black mascara
