Eye Shadow for Hazel Eyes

The goal of Eye Shadow for Hazel Eyes is to play up and draw attention to your eyes. Many eye companies until recently hadn’t really made lines of cosmetics based on a person’s eye color – making it somewhat of a guessing game as to what to buy. Very often you’d spend money only to discover the color was terrible.

By far the most important thing is looking at shades of color. Hazel eyes have hints of color – bits of brown, sometimes flecks of blue. If you can pick up on one of those subtle colors it will make your eyes pop.

Generally speaking hazel eyes benefit from neutral eye shadow. Any hues with a brown base will be a safe choice every time. You can also get away rose, and pastel pink. If you go with this color play off your rouge. Purples are also great to draw attention to your beautiful eyes. In the purple family, anything goes - lilac, plum, violet, eggplant - they will all look great on you. Occasionally you can wear green but keep it subtle. For a night on the town try something with hints of gold or silver.

In the green family stick to the darker green colors and usually use them in the crease with a neutral color on the lid. Stay away from blues and grays, they will "clash" with your eyes. Some of the newer metallic shadows in gold and bronze will also work great for you, especially if you have gold flecks or tomes in your eyes. For hazel eyes more than any other color, avoid the temptation to match your eye shadow to your clothing and stick with the shadows that show off your eyes.
