Best Makeup Tips For Hazel Eyes
Eye Shadow
Green-eyed beauties always have an advantage, when it comes to pepping up their eyes with color. Hazel eyes are unique and a perfect eye shadow is all that it takes to jazz up their look dramatically. Neutral shades are the best bet for hazel eyes, as they add both definition and softness. Brown, pink, cream, beige, and taupe are other great eye shadow options for hazel eyes. Shades of purple like lilac, lavender, violet, plum, and eggplant can also do wonders to enhance the look of the eyes. Apart from this, accentuate the eyes with glitter effect. Shimmer works especially well on hazel eyes. The rich golden hues of sunflower, mustard, saffron, wheat and sand are the best struck deal. A note of caution - stay away from experimenting with shades of blue!
Eyeliner
It’s important to choose the right shade of eyeliner for hazel eyes. While dark brown color eye liners are just perfect for hazel eyes, black and gray are also fine and look good on green eyes. For a more dramatized look, you can try wearing green liners. Stay away from blue eyeliners, as they may ruin your look any day. Match the shade of the liner with the attire that you are going to wear for the day and watch the eyeballs go rolling.
Mascara
Choosing the right mascara will make all the difference to the way you look. For green eyes, one can try dull brown mascara and black gold mascara. Stay away from black and transparent mascara as they might look garish. Also, these ruin the beauty and charm of the green eyes. In case you want to over dramatize the eyes, you can experiment with green or blue mascara. However, shades of blue and green are best avoided for hazel eyes.
How To Apply Eye Makeup For Hazel Eyes
- Before you begin with your make up, apply primer on the eyelids for a smooth finish. A primer will even out the rough surfaces and make your color last longer.
- Decide on the eye shadow first, before you start on with your makeup. Begin with the darkest shade and apply it to the crease of your lid, starting from the inner corner and moving towards the outer edge. Use the lighter shade on the brow bone or the area below the eyebrow. Remember, merge the shades well.
- Pick out your preferred eyeliner and begin by applying it from the inner corner of the eye towards the outer corner, along the top eyelid. You can also use an eye or kohl pencil for desired results. Shimmer liner looks good on green eyes and can be used to accentuate your looks, if you are applying a neutral shade.
- Add curls to your lashes by using an eyelash curler. This will heighten the impact of your peepers. Remember to use smudge proof mascara, for a long lasting effect.
