Make them pop: the best eyeshadow hues for your eye color
Picking out the shade that matches your eye color can sometimes seem a little daunting due to the myriad of colors available from different brands. You may wonder if your blue eyes pair well with orange-y tones or if there is anything you can do to really make your dark brown eyes pop. Fret not, we’ve taken care of all the guess work and have provided a simple road map to finding your perfect shade with no fuss at all.
Grey Eyes
What works best: Grey eyes are the ‘hazel of the blue family’ and can be paired with many different colors to bring out different tonalities. Make them look more blue by pairing them with shadows that have an orange tone (copper, peach, melon). Bring out the rich green in them by using more red-brown and pink tones (maroon, plums, purples). For a lighter grey eye color, grab grey-scale tones (silver, charcoal and black).

Blue Eyes
What works best: Make your baby blues pop with light and neutral tones complement tones. Think golds, bronzes and shimmery champagnes. Colors with warm undertones like rich browns and terracottas will also help the eye pop as they are on the opposite end of the color wheel.

Green Eyes
What works best: Beautiful greens pair wonderfully with light and dark purple tones like lilac and violet-y plums. For a killer ‘at work’ look, grab a shimmery brown that will help bring out the beautiful flecks of green in the iris all day long.

Hazel Eyes
What works best: Hazel eyes are the perfect mix of green and brown, so they work well with colors that pair with both. Like green eyes, eyeshadows with purple hues work very well. Also look into rose-colored hues and warm metallics that’ll leave other captivated.

Brown Eyes
What works best: Literally anything goes with this eye color, so make the eyeshadow aisle your forever playground. Bring out the warmth in your brown eyes by using earthy hues, shimmery neutrals and deep and rich shades like berry and mocha. Take a peep at salmon-y and bronzy golds colors as well.
Products we recommend: ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Norvina Eyeshadow Palette, $42
Dark Brown Eyes
What works best: Deep brown eyes are entrancing, and like the somewhat lighter shade of brown, this eye color can work well with pretty much anything. Serve all the looks using colors like violets and purples, slivers and bronze and rich chocolatey colors make the eyes really pop.
