Tips Specific to Your Eyes

You can find a ton of eye makeup ideas out there to try, but the fact is that a lot of them are not ideal of every eye color, shape, style, etc.

You could follow those generic eye makeup looks, or you could look over some of the eye specific ideas we have listed below.

With so many styles of eye makeup to choose from, something has to work well for you.

Here is some inspiration for your eyes:

Blue Eyes

Eye Makeup Ideas

Eye makeup for blue eyes usually hovers around brown and bronze colors.

The easiest way to make a pair of eyes stand out is to use an eye shadow that is the opposite color of them. The opposite of blue is orange, so use earthy colors like bronze, brown and gold are fitting substitutes.

Green Eyes

Makeup for green eyes is much different than makeup for blue eyes, and that is because green sits on a different section of the color spectrum.

Green works well with purple or maroon eye shadows, although brown can work for this as well.

Brown Eyes
