Enhance your eye color
Jul 23, 2008

If you look at the color wheel, it looks like a mishmash of rainbow colors, but when choosing eye shadow shades, an important tip to remember is: opposite colors always enhance and complement each other.  Here are a few color tips that will really make your eyes sparkle!

* Brown Eyes: Teal, blue and green shades really make brown eyes pop!
 
* Blue Eyes: Tan, bronze and brown hues look best with blue eyes. Never wear blue eye shadows because it will actually make blue eyes appear dull.

* Green Eyes: Mauves, purples and rusts look fantastic with green eyes. Just be sure these shades do not contain too much red because this can often make your eyes appear blood shot.

If you are color shy try neutral eye shadow shades to start. It's best to use three shadows in the same color family. Sweep the lightest shade over your brow bone, the medium shade over your entire eyelid and the darkest shade in the crease. Use your fingers to blend the edges.

For more fun, try using a colored mascara!  They look black but in the right light, will make your eyes twinkle! Experiment with what you like best and as you get more comfortable, you can try new colors. The important thing is to have fun and don't be afraid to try something new!

My eyes are green and I have always loved using eyeshadows in the purple family, it has just always done something for my eyes.  For a change I have browns, which don't really do anything except keep me from getting bored.  Rusts are something I am going to have to look into.

Some names of the rust eyeshadows in max factor or neutorgena would be helpful.  Thanks.

My daughter is going to be the fun one.  She might have brwn eyes one day, brown green the nxt and the other day they were a really incredible blue.  I think a lot of it depends on what color her shirt for the day is.
