How To Bring Out Your Eye Color

Want your eyes to be the first thing people see? Make your eyes pop with eye shadow that will bring out your eye color!

I have brown eyes so I usually go with purples, coppers, golds, and browns. I haven’t been brave enough to try green yet! I really like how the purple looks with my brown eyes, but I’ve put together a list of the best eyeshadows to go with other eye colors too!

BROWN EYES

  • Bold purples and greens bring out the best in brown eyes. Sweep a light purple right under the brow and a darker shade of purple on the lid. Wet the tip of a slanted brush and sweep over the dark purple eyeshadow and carefully edge it into your lash line. The same technique can be done with green. For a more subtle look, try copper, bronze, champagne, apricot, brown, or beige.

    • BLUE EYES

  • Light and deep denim blue shades enhance the blue in your eyes. Apply a soft brown coffee color all over lid to bring out your eye color. Then blend deep denim or navy blue color into the crease. Gently sweep a light blue on brow bone. You can also use other shades like taupe, gray, silver, violet, purple, deep blue, and even black.

    • GREEN EYES

  • Different shades of jade enhance the beautiful green in your eyes. Purples makes it pop. Apply violet or dusty purple shade all over lid to bring out your eye color. Then blend a deep jade or turquoise shade into crease.
    Lastly, apply a light jade green color on brow bone. Other colors that work well with your eyes are brown, apricot, purple, deep greens, gold, and bright purples.

    • HAZEL EYES

  • Light and deep toffee or brown shades enhance the hazel in your eyes. Apply a light blush pink all over lid to bring out your eye color. Then gently blend a deep toffee color into the crease and sweep a light hazel color on brow bone. More colors to try are gold, pink, rose, plum, mauve, and burgundy.

    • ALL EYES

  • Colors that look good on everybody are navy or charcoal base to define and a powder-blue shadow for highlighting. This effect brightens your brow bone so any eye color will pop! You can always use silver or gold sparkly eye shadow to make any look edgy.

      I had a comment to make about your section on Blue eyes. When you recommend blue eye shadow, I want people to know that BLUE EYESHADOW IS NOT GOOD FOR ALL BLUE EYES. There are so many different shades of blue eyes that you may end up dulling the hue of your eyes rather than accentuating it!! For dark hued eyes, wear lighter shadow to make your eyes look bright. For bright eyes, it’s fun to venture into the darker side of things because it makes your eyes really pop!!
