Eye Shadow: Choosing the right color for your eyes

We have all asked this question: "Which eye shadow is the best for my eye color?" The key to enhancing your eyes is to think contrast. I am sure many of you are familiar with the color wheel. In order to bring out a color, you must contrast it with an opposite, complimentary color. The MakeUp.com experts have compiled a cheat sheet for the best shades to make your eyes POP!

Blue Eyes
Warmer, earth-toned shades like browns, taupes, or even roses contrast the coolness of blue eyes, making them stand out.

TIPS
  • If you opt for trendy colors, tread carefully as they can look unnatural unless you balance them with other suitable tones.
  • A little color goes a long way. Begin with a little shadow and gradually increase it until you find the amount that suits you best.
  • Shadow can look a lot darker in its palette than it will on, so don't let color intensity keep you from trying a shade you like!
