What eyeshadow colours suit your eye colour?

Hiya guys!
First of all, happy new year to all of you! Hope 2010 will be a good year for everyone :)

Now onto the main topic of this blog post...
What eyeshadow colours suit different eye colours?

I have med/dark brown eyes and although they suit my warm toned face I always thought they were so boring - I always wanted green eyes to go with my dyed auburn hair...i'll show you some pics I edited of me with 'green eyes' at the end of this post haha.

Anyway I decided to do some research on which eyeshadow colours really made my eye colour pop and made it more interesting, and then I thought it would be interesting for a lot of people sooo I decided to make a blog post on what I found out :)

Brown eyes
One colour I love to wear with my brown eyes is purple!
It's said to go well with dark or olive skin tones, so perfect with my olive skin, and it complements my hair colour as well.

Gold and green are recommended for lighter brown eyes as they are said to pick up the coloured flecks in your eyes. This would work well with hazel coloured eyes too :)

For dark brown eyes, a royal blue is said to look good -but not too dark otherwise your eye area will look quite dim and dull. Try experimenting with different shades of blue - here's a really cute pic I found from google:





Blue eyes
For those with blue eyes (lucky people!) a whole variety of shades are recommended.
Most blue eyes are cool toned, so colours like grey, silver and taupe will look good with virtually any blue eye.

Purple and violet are also recommended for blue eyes. Vibrant purple can contrast beautifully with blue, but be warned it may make your face look washed out so stick to lighter shades if this is the case.

One little trick I stumbled upon during my research was that apparently if you use a deep shade of blue darker than your eye colour it brings out the blue tones in your eyes, making them look more vibrant!

More pictures found on Google:





Green eyes
Those blessed with green eyes (lucky people!) might have warm eyes (green and a bit of brown) or cool eyes (greeny bluey eyes), so different eyeshadow shades will suit slightly different shades of green eyes.

For those with warm green eyes, earthy colours such as brown, green, gold, bronze and copper will complement their colour well.

For those with cool green eyes, shades similar to those suiting blue eyes will look good - anything in the red/purple family is also recommended; mauve, rusty colours, plum etc.

The same trick for blue eyes can be used for green, by using a slightly darker green shade of eyeshadow to make your eyes look more green and vibrant.

Again, here are some pics from Google!




Hope you enjoyed the post!

Finally, here are some pics of me with edited green eyes haha, I want!!
