Let’s crack the code about eyeshadow, makeup, and you. Looking at a simple breakdown of what eye shadows will work best for you while taking into consideration the variety of unique eye colors. Hopefully you will not have to spend any money on trial and error and figure out what will be the best way to enhance your eye color. The whole point of eye shadow is to take your eye color into consideration to match it to colors that will contrast with your eye color.

Blue Eyes

Starting off with our blue-eyed ladies; typically, women with eyes are looking to bring some contrast because they are more on the cooler tone. That’s why you want to go for warmer tones as in earth tones, meaning brown/bronze/taupe which would be a beautiful way to really make those blue eyes pop and captivate everyone. On the other hand, if you want to a bright pop for your eyes, you can play with some colors, because earth tones aren’t considered as exciting. Whereas pink would work beautifully for blue eyes. Therefore, to bring warmth into your eyes, focus on rose/pink/quarrel. You can also play with rose/pink/coral for a little more advanced look.

Black — Dark Brown Eyes

You have been blessed because of how good everything looks on you. Some of the most beautiful colors for dark brown or black are blue or green, a color that will bring such a contrast to the eye. The one thing to remember with brown eyes is to be careful with the kind of browns that you choose. Try choosing browns that have a little more depth in them or colors that have different undertones to them (red/orange/yellow/gold). I have always chosen to go for the Makeup Forever Eyeshadow just because they give this smooth texture and seems to always last me for a good while.

Hazel — Light Brown Eyes

For the hazel and light brown eyed girls, you won that jackpot! Everything works well with your eye color. It is extremely easy to rock any eye shadow in any color you prefer. Blue looks amazing, as well as any warm tones (gold/red/brown) which will bring more depth. For a more exciting feel, you can go for darker hues of any color that will still look amazing on you. However, if you’re looking for a more playful vibe, use any metallic eyeshadow with gold hues which put a lot of emphasis on the gold in your eyes. Lastly, try out pink and purple colors which work very well with hazel eyes.

Green Eyes

Earth tones work well with green eyes in addition to brown/bronze/gold for the perfect smokey eye. It truly makes your eyes pop and lets the green out. Although using blue makeup doesn’t work as much because it doesn’t have enough presence compared with green, using dark green colors work nicely. Deep greens do a great job leveraging your eyes making them stand out, especially with the smokey eye look. In addition, brown eyeliner and brown mascara are great for green eyes in the day because it gives them more natural looking lashes than black.

Grey Eyes

If you have gray eyes, you’re literally a minority in this world, that means any of the earth tones would be an amazing way to really bring out those blueish/greenish tones in your eye.

These are guide for every girl’s eye color and what best eye shadow works for you. Don’t be afraid to try out new, unfamiliar color even if you don’t see yourself wearing it in public. Hopefully, it shouldn’t take any much more to narrow down the colors that match your eyes anymore.
