For the blue-eyed beauties out there, rich, earthy tones (deep oranges and browns) are going to complement you perfectly. You can also bet on gold and bronze shimmer shades.

Makeup Shades for Green and Hazel Eyes
When it comes to makeup color-matching, your green and/or hazel eyes are not only stunning but also go with a ton of eyeshadow shades. Pinks, earthy hues, reddish tones, and taupes all complement green and hazel eyes beautifully. If you want to show some love to other colors, eggplant and lavender hues can create a jaw-dropping contrast with your eyes.
Our Recommendations:
Makeup Shades for Red, Violet, and Gray Eyes
Green eyes used to be the rarest eye color in the world, but they’ve now been dethroned by red, violet, and gray eyes. Red eyes look gorgeous in neutral colors as well as green and gold. For those with violet eyes, eyeshadow hues in bronze, terracotta, light pink, black, and vibrant green are perfection. Grey eyes look striking against silver, gunmetal tones, and icy blue shades.

Makeup Shades for Red Hair
When it comes to makeup color-matching, redheads have all the fun because they can rock anything. “Greens and blues really make red hair pop since they fall opposite red on the color wheel,” explains celebrity makeup artist Bryan Cantor. “At the same time, warmer tones — think peachy pink and coral — are also extremely flattering and complementary to the warm undertones found in all shades of red hair.”
Our Recommendations:
Makeup Shades for Black Hair
Black hair is memorizing and mysterious, which is why balancing it with your makeup can be a little tricky. Many opt for makeup looks with graphic eyeliner or bold wings. However, if you want to give eyeshadow a try, go for neutral tones, berry colors, soft plums, and warm reds.
Our Recommendations:
Makeup Shades for Colorful Hair
Are you sporting an ultra-trendy rainbow hair color? If so, you can try letting your rainbow tresses shine by opting for more neutral eyeshadow hues. But, if you’re feeling dramatic, you can add more color to your life by utilizing whatever shades float your boat!
