The Best Eyeshadow For Your Eyes

Choosing a shadow that maximises your eye colour can be daunting. 

Most of us tend to stick to what we know, but chances are you've been wearing a shade that doesn't best accentuate your natural colour. 

Whether you've got blue, green brown or hazel eyes, this eye shadow guide will show you which shade works best for you, with options for day and when you feel like turning on the drama.

  • BLUE EYES

    Blue eyes have a naturally cool tone, so warmer shades will make your irises really stand out.


    BEST MATCH: Gold, bronze, copper, champagne, yellow-beige and peach.
    BY DAY: A wash of gold or champagne over the eyelid with a subtle shimmer does wonders.
    BOLD MOVE: Orange shadow makes blue eyes really pop!

  • BROWN EYES

    Brown eyed girls can get away with most shades, because brown is a neutral and doesn’t compete with other colours.


    BEST MATCH: Warm bronze, peach, navy.
    FOR DAY: Earth-toned hues with a shimmer and toffee tones.
    BOLD MOVE: Purple and teal turn up the drama for brown eyes.

  • GREEN EYES

    All shades of purple make green eyes pop beautifully because the two colours are opposites on the colour spectrum.


    BEST MATCH: Sepia, rust, purple or pink.
    DAY LOOK: Wine, mauve or rose gold. Make sure to keep it subtle.
    BOLD MOVE: Vampy super deep plum with a touch of sparkle makes for an impactful contrast with green eyes.

    DAY LOOK: Opt for a taupe or soft grey, which will make your eyes stand out in a subtle, natural way.
