A person’s eye color can really define their style. Your eye color can be the deciding factor on what colors of clothing look the best on you, what hairstyle would accentuate the color, and most importantly, what eye shadow colors to wear. Of course, makeup is an art, and no one has to follow any rules to make it look good. However, there are certain combinations of eye shadows that can certainly enhance your natural eye color. Whether you have green, blue, or brown eyes, you can find colors that will make your makeup look even better.

For blue eyes, your eye makeup should be light and more natural. You can go for a smoky eye occasionally, but with light and fresh colors you can really enhance your pretty blue color. According to top stylists and makeup artists, the best colors for blue eyes consist of peaches, pinks, and champagne colors. If you decide to use one of those colors, it might be best to try using that color only. That means do not apply a complicated amount of different eye shadows, but just stick for one color on the lid. This will give you the most natural look that compliments your eye perfectly.

If you have brown eyes, you are definitely not alone. Statistics show that brown eyes are the most common eye color in the world. Since brown is a neutral color, almost any eye shadow color can match with your eye color flawlessly. Makeup artists say, however, that the best eye shadows for brown eyes are bronze gold colors. These will enhance the rich brown color you naturally possess. A good tip for your eye makeup would be to add black eye shadow to your eye in the crease or outer corner to add intensity.

Statistics have shown that truly green eyes are the rarest eye color in the world. If there is a small chance that someone with green eyes is reading this, I would suggest deep purples and sparkly brown eye shadows for your makeup. However, if you have the more common hazel eye color, there are some different recommendations. While purples and browns will still go well with hazel eyes, it’s commonly suggested for people with hazel eyes to use pastel colors with metallic finishes on your eyes. The metallic effect from the eye shadow will really enhance the little flecks of color throughout your iris.
