How to pick an eye shadow...

Happy President's Day everyone :) One of the best things about today is all the President's Day sales that will be going on <33 I definitely have an itch to go shopping, just so I can see what kind of deals that are going on! Something I have been looking for lately to by is some new eye shadow  I want to make sure I pick a color that will compliment my eye color; this way, your eye color will pop and your eyes will be more noticeable. If you aren't sure about which eye shadows look better on which eye color, here is a list of each one:

Blue Eyes: Colors like brown, rose and violet families work best generally. They will contrast with blue eyes and make them stand out. Make sure to use shades that are darker than your natural eye color; use rich browns, golds, warm taupe's  soft peaches, lavender, lilac and fuchsia. If you try to use a similar blue shadow that is the same or very close to the natural eye color, it can make your eyes appear dull. Unlike wearing a 
blue shirt, blue eye shadow will not bring out the blue in your eyes. Just don't do it!

Brown Eyes: If you have 
brown eyes, you have a wide range of eye shadow colors to choose from. You can go with greens, golds, browns, pinks, blues, grays and purples. Earthy colors look great with brown eyes. Any shade of blue is going to look best with brown eyes. Cooler tones contrast well and make the eyes stand out. Choose a shade lighter than your eye color for a more natural and clean look; a shade dark you will appear more dramatic and sexy. Unlike blue eyes, brown eyes can get away with wearing brown 
eye shadow, but be careful because some browns can look muddy against your
 brown eyes!

Green Eyes: Violet and plum eye shadow shades are best. Warmer colors like deep purples, browns, mauve's  lilacs, and medium pinks are good. Try bronzes, golds, coppers, deep greens, peaches and apricots. Stay away from cooler colors like silvers, blues, whites and pastels. These can give you a washed out look. Earth tones like 
mocha browns and light greens look nice. Gold eye shadow also 
brings out any gold flecks you may have in your eyes.

Hazel Eyes: Hazel is the most versatile eye color. Shades of pale pink, light purple and sheer blush will look great with hazel eyes. To make them stand out, use deep greens, lavenders and shades with soft yellow undertones. To bring out any gold, choose gold-based eye shadows. To bring out green specks,  choose a brighter green shade like emerald and apply in three different intensities. To bring out the blue specks in your eyes go with purple in three different shades.Because you have eyes that are multiple colors, most of the eye shadow colors
 will look amazing!

Gray Eyes: Although gray this isn't a common color for eyes, I know that blue or green eyes can change to gray. 
Think 
of gray eyes as just pale blue or pale green eyes. Usually gray eyes will 
have undertones of green or blue or even flecks of those two colors. When picking out eye shadow, pick out the pale version of colors that look 
good on either green or blue eyes.
