Naples Makeup Artist Talks About Eye Makeup: Matching Your Eye Color



The trick to eye makeup is getting the right shades of shadow for your eye color. Being a Naples makeup artist I constantly get asked whether you should match your shadow to what you're wearing that day, which is a good thing to do, however when it comes to every day makeup matching your clothes is not the best tactic. The key to applying correct eye makeup is coordinating the colors with your eye color. Here is a list of colors that work well with the following eye colors:

1. Brown - Blue and Green shadows work well to make brown eyes POP! Gold can also intensify the yellow/gold tint in a brown eye
2. Blue - Shades of brown and darker grays are the best color for a blue eye. They intensify the blue/teal pigments.
3. Green - Same rules apply for green as for blue, however I would experiment with golds on a green eye as they compliment green beautifully!
4. Hazel - Lucky people with Hazel eyes can wear all different kinds of colors, depending on which shade they are trying to intensify.

The concept is simple once you get it down pat :)! This does NOT mean that you can't wear the other colors recommended for different eye colors, it only means that these colors are what make the color stand out the most. If you have any questions feel free to email me!
