The Right Color for Your Soul’s Windows

It seems like there is a song to accentuate every color eye. “Brown Eyed Girl” by Van Morrison. “Blue Eyes” by Elton John. “Green Eyed Lady” by Sugarloaf. “Behind these Hazel Eyes” by Kelly Clarkston. Unless you have a top rated song artist able to walk around singing about your eyes, you might need a more reasonable way to highlight those peepers.
The key to matching eye shadow with your eyes is contrast. You want a color that is going to make your eye color pop, not the shadow. If you use the same color shadow for the exact same shade of eye, it’s going to look like you have two big color blobs in the middle of your face. Don’t believe me? Put a shimmering red ruby carefully into a box with red velvet. All you notice is one beautiful shade of red and no expensive gem.
Below is a guide for decoding that perfect accent color.

Blue Eyes
Gray, purple, silver, turquoise, fuchsia (for the brave folks), a dark blue that is darker than your eye color, pale peach will work well for blue eys.
Look for soft browns and tans with pink undertones for the best look.

Green or Hazel Eyes
Try brown, purple, khaki, forest green (this will brighten the eyes), gold, lime-green, gray, or a very very light shade of green. Also look for colors with yellow undertones.
For green eyes, also try caramel colors.
Hazel eyes should experiment with golden brown.

Brown Eyes
Brown eyes need more neutral colors like copper, bronze, champagne, beige or khaki-green. Royal Blue can even be considered as an option.

People with rather deep-set eyes should avoid dark colors on their lids at all costs. Light colors will help draw the eye out better. People with larger eyes or larger area of exposed eyelids can use darker colors while smaller eyes benefit more from lighter colors. It’s a general rule that daytime wear should have a more natural tone.
Remember, you should stand out, not your makeup. Finding the right color eye shadow to match your eyes will be that subtle difference that will amplify your charisma.
