Eyes are among our most prominent features. At first glance, they are often the first thing that draws others in. While alluring on their own, eye makeup has long been used to enhance them.
When it comes to makeup, we often focus on the basics, usually neutral tones to subtly highlight the eyes. But what if you are looking to branch out from the basics? Colored mascara and eyeliner are an easy way to add a pop of color to any makeup routine. Whether you want a fun change to an everyday look or for a full night out, they allow you to step out of normal black and brown shades while complementing your natural eye color.
From layering colored mascara to lining your waterline for added contrast, there are countless ways color can add dimension to your look. However you choose to wear it, here are some of the best shades to make your eyes stand out in seconds:
Blue Eyes
For blue eyes, warm tones like bronze and copper can add depth and make the eyes appear more vibrant. A deep navy, while monochromatic, enhances the blue color. If you are looking for a bolder look, plums and reds can contrast with the blue of your eyes and make them stand out.
Brown Eyes
Luckily for you, practically any color works for brown eyes. For a high contrast, electric look, try a cobalt blue. Emerald green can complement any golden flecks or the deep color of your eyes. If looking for a softer yet sultry appearance, try a purple or plum to subtly switch things up.
Green Eyes
For a more dramatic look, violet can add a flair that makes the green pop. Reds and burgundies are a strong contrast that makes green eyes appear brighter and more vibrant, while gold can add brightness and really make your eyes stand out with a touch of elegance.
Hazel Eyes
Hazel eyes contain a variety of tones, making them ideal for experimentation. Gold or brown can highlight warmth, while greens draw out the eye’s undertones. For a striking finish, try purple for a vivid pop of color.
You can keep it simple or play up the color; whichever you choose, let your eyes be the focus. A touch of color adds personality to your everyday makeup routine without overpowering it. So pick your color and let your eyes do the talking!
