Selecting the right makeup for eye color?

i want to get good quality makeup that will bring out my eye color. DO ALMAY INTENSE I-COLOR eyeshadows really work????


also any other reccomendations are greatly appreciated! thank youuu! :)Selecting the right makeup for eye color?
Blue eyes really pop with neutral brown shadow shades like beiges, taupes and chocolates. However, they take on an smokier look using pewters, charcoals and blacks. For a simple tried and true look, it is even possible to use blues deeper in shade than the natural eye color. For an extreme look, bright berries and plums, turquoise blues, or silver and pewter shades will do the job. Green or hazel eyes shimmer in golden shades, muted plums or purples and mauve berry colors. For a more tried and true look, deep taupes and khakis, deep browns or even warm apricots and ultra dark greens will do the trick. For something extreme, green eyes glare in lighter green shades or with bright limes, fuschias or ultra sharp purples. Brown eyes look youthful in soft pinks, shimmering beiges and luscious apricots and light champagnes. For a more tried and true look, they glow in coppers and bronzes, khaki greens and doe browns. To make them funky and fun, neon blues, hot pinks and bright greens will definitely do the trick.





Know that eye liners in certain colors can also add more punch to the eyes, ensure that they say come hither, or make a bold statement. Blue eyes look best with gray, brown or medium blue eye liners. For a funkier look the choice is copper, bronze or deep gold. Those seeking a funkier look can get it with a dark purple or deep berry. Green or hazel eyes look good with eye liners in a deep gold, brown, forest green and black. But they can get funky with liners in navy, gray or deep pewter. They can really make a statement with deep purple. Brown eyes stay tried and true in chocolate brown, charcoal gray, and black. For something funkier in nature, there is a lighter gray, navy blue or rusty brown. For an even funkier look, brown eyes really pop with accented eye liner in eggplant or deep berry.





Understand that there are certain colors that should be avoided because of the color of the woman's skin tone. Blue-eyed women with a pink-toned skin should avoid all colors that are too pink in nature. Hot pinks and fuschias are particularly offensive, moving way beyond ';funky'; into the world of weird. Blue eyes that remain blue, with no tinges of green or turquoise, should avoid green shadows and liner. Those can actually dull the natural eye color. Green or hazel-eyed women with olive skin tones should stay away from certain neutral brown colors that contain a definitive yellow base. Such colors will make the eyes look dull and lifeless. Additionally, the yellow tone will bring out the worst part of the skin's coloring. Brown-eyed women need to avoid bright greens and any shade of turquoise or teal.

The color that is supposed to make an eye color pop is the exact opposite of that color on the color wheel.





Green eyes = red.


Blue eyes = orange.


Brown eyes = blue.





Because most people with green eyes aren't really looking to cover their eyes in red, popular colors to wear on them include mahogany browns, copper, and purple.





I hope this helped!
I have blue-green eyes. When I wear taupe, pink, or purple eyeshadow it really brings out the green. When I say purple it doesn't have to be in your face purple eyeshadow... a muted purple or a light purple/grey works too. Same goes for the pink.
Well if you have brown eyes, you can't do much to bring them out


But get a mascara with some shimmer and it'll probably help
Well first say what your eye color is. DUH!
