We all know that feeling when we see a beautiful eyeshadow look and just know that we have to have it. But then we get home, try it out, and...it just doesn't look the same. Why is that? It's all in the colors you're using. Depending on your eye color, certain shades will make your eyes pop while others will wash them out. Keep reading to find out which shades are best for your eye color.
Brown Eyes
If you have brown eyes, you're in luck! Just about any eyeshadow color looks great with brown eyes. To make your eyes pop, go for brighter shades like blue or green. Or, if you want a more natural look, stick to brown or nude tones. Either way, you can't go wrong.
Blue Eyes
Blue-eyed beauties should steer clear of dark eyeshadows, as they can make your eyes look tired. Instead, go for light or bright colors like white, pink, or silver. These shades will help make your blue eyes stand out.
Green Eyes
If you have green eyes you should go for warm-toned shadows like gold, brown, or peach. These colors will help bring out the flecks of color in your eyes and make them really stand out. Avoid using cool-toned shadows as they can wash out your complexion.
Hazel Eyes
For those with hazel eyes have the best of both worlds—they can wear both warm- and cool-toned shadows and look amazing either way. To make hazel eyes pop, try using a shade that is complementary to the flecks of color in your iris.
For example, if you have a lot of gold flecks in your hazel eyes, go for a bronzy shadow. If your hazel eyes lean more towards green, opt for a purple or green shadow instead. Experiment until you find what works best for you!
Conclusion
No matter what eye color you have, there is an eyeshadow shade (or several!) out there that will make your eyes pop. The next time you're at the makeup store, keep these tips in mind and experiment with different shades until you find the ones that work best for you. Trust us—you'll be glad you did!
