What is the prettiest eye shadow color for the color of my eyes?
The prettiest eye shadow color for the color of your eyes…
Brown Eyes:
Luckily for brown eyes most every color looks good. Neutral colors like bronze and gold will elegantly highlight while brighter colors like purple or green will add a beautiful contrast of color.
If you have medium brown to light brown eyes: Look in a mirror and match your eye makeup to the flecks of color in your irises, if you have reddish flecks around your pupils use a shimmery bronze, cranberry or copper shadow. If you have yellowish flecks, gold tones are best.
If you have dark brown (or almost black) eyes: Dark brown eyes look amazing with deep pigmented eyeshadow. Vibrant jewel tones create a sharp pop of contrast that really bring dark brown eyes to life. Utilize deeper shades like a rich plum, eggplant, emerald or sapphire. Also consider colors like silver and violet which contrast with brown eyes and make them pop.
Any hue with cool and purple undertones will brighten up brown eyes by contrast and drawing out their natural warmth. If you’re looking to make a statement consider a dash of navy blue liner against brown eyes. It’s brilliant because it whitens the whites and brings out the golden tones in all variations of brown eyes.
For a more understated everyday look, opt for a sweep of neutral shadows across your lids (think lighter taupes, medium and darker browns), all of which subtly enhance and define brown eyes without overwhelming them.
Green/Hazel Eyes:
Some of the best eyeshadow colors for green or hazel eyes are pink and purple tones. Purple will bring out gold hues in hazel eyes and make green contrast against the purple.
Blue Eyes:
Eyeshadow colors with orange undertones will make blue eyes pop. For naturals, use neutral, warm colors like browns and grays.
Pro-tip: Avoid matching your eye makeup to your eye color, lipstick color or the color of your outfit. Apply shades on opposite sides of the color wheel that will accentuate and compliment your natural beautiful coloring!
