You ladies with hazel eyes have no idea just how unique your eye color truly is. Hazel eyes are full of different flecks of colors and hues that truly does set them apart from the standard blue and brown eyes that we see. Because of these different color variations in hazel eyes, however, it can be rather difficult to choose eyeshadow for hazel eyes.
Not to worry, there are many colors out there that are a sure shot when it comes to hazel eyes. Here are some of the top picks for eyeshadow for hazel eyes:
Neutral Tones
Neutral tones can work for almost any eye color out there, but for hazel eyes the neutral shades can really give them that gorgeous look. The brown, yellow or even golden undertones in neutral tones really bring out those golden flecks that are apparent in hazel eyes. Some of these neutral tones include:
- Creams
- Taupe
- Beige
TIP: Black and grays can also be used as “neutral” shades; just be sure to use them sparingly if you are going for a more natural, daytime look.
Pinks
Pink can sometimes be referred to as a “neutral” tone, but we will set it apart for now. Any pink eyeshadow for hazel eyes looks wonderfully fresh in the spring and frosty in the winter. If you are looking to get that ‘rosy glow’, then opt for a light pink shade of eyeshadow.
Purples
Purple shades of eyeshadow really work for hazel eyes as the color provides a contracting effect for both brown and hazel eyes. Go for colors such as:
- Lavender
- Plum
- Violet
- Lilac
- Eggplant
Purple will really bring attention to your eyes, perhaps even more so than any other eyeshadow color out there.
Golds and Yellows
As briefly touched upon earlier, any type of eyeshadow for hazel eyes that has gold and yellow tones, or if it is a shade of gold or yellow, will really flatter your eye color. Some of the eyeshadow shades to consider include:
- Mustard tones
- Wheat
- Sandy colors
- Sunflower yellow
- Gold shimmer powders
- Saffron
Greens
Green shades are a fantastic choice for hazel eyes! A lot of women with hazel eyes have a natural green hue to their color, which a green eyeshadow will really draw out even if there are only a few select “flecks” of green in the iris of your eye. From light greens to dark forest greens, you can pull it off. The key is to check out the iris of your eye and determine just what shade of green you have (some women with hazel eyes swear that the green in their eyes also changes shades – so beware of that!). Try to find an eyeshadow in that shade to really draw the tones and colors out.
Blues
In almost every way, avoid blue eyeshadow! It takes a lot of work and careful application to utilize blue eyeshadow on hazel eyes effectively (unless you are using a really dark navy blue to help accentuate your eyes). Skip any blues and invest in chocolate browns, blacks, grays and purple tones.
