How to complement your eye colour with makeup: 6 Beauty Panel tips for blue, brown, hazel and green eyes

by FASHION Staff July 18, 2013

The beauty of makeup is in its ability to transform. While full-on makeovers may come to mind, the use of one just product—an eyeshadow, mascara or blush—can alter your appearance in the most subtle way. And when it comes to enhancing your eye colour, there’s no better way to make your eyes pop than with a swipe of complementary shadow.

But how do you know what makeup shade will complement your eye colour best? Do you turn to a colour that matches your eyes or choose one that’s the opposite? Blue eyeshadow may have been a favourite colour on the Spring 2013 runway, but for some of us it may not necessarily be the best choice.

Before you start testing every eyeshadow in your makeup bag, read on. Whether your eyes are blue, green, brown or hazel, the Beauty Panel is here to share their expert tips on makeup that makes eye colour stand out.

Where you apply makeup is also key: Spiced Beauty’s Jennifer Francis used gold in the inner corners to make her eyes pop, while Liner and Glitter and Gloss’s Dee Thomson suggests that the best way to really make our eyes stand out is coat those lashes with mascara. And proving that the bottom is just as important as the top, A Pop of Colour’s Shayna Wiwierski reminds us to not neglect the lower lash line since it essential in helping to frames the eyes.
