Recently one of my brides asked me what eyeshadow she would wear with her blue eyes and brown hair. In my opinion if your eyeshadow is properly applied any color can be worn on any eye. But some shadows definitely enhance certain eyes colors and certain features. Those folks who are blue or green eyed, may find that some colors seem to overpower them, or they want to make those baby blues pop a little bit more.
My advice? Choose a warm copper. This color is absolutely amazing. And I will confess it is one of my favorite go to shadows, mainly because it makes everyone’s eyes and skin color pop very nicely. It especially will make blue eyes appear warmer and bluer, green eyes absolutely glow and make dark eyes rich and warm.
Applied over the full lid and blended up into a darker brown crease with a dark brown or black liner will make even the lightest blue eyes pop.
For brown eyes I’m still really fond of copper, though bronze and gold are also a great go to. They will help bright and warm up dark eyes of all shades.
I think every artist has their favorite go to colors and mine is definitely copper. I hope these tips help you in your makeup adventures!
