Blue, Green, Brown & Hazel: How to Make Your Eyes Stand Out 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.
