From understanding eyeshadow colour palettes that’ll complement your eye colour to adding more warmth to your complexion, here are all the makeup tips you must follow in order to accentuate your hazel eyes.
- #01: Use complementary eyeshadow hues
- #02: Inner corner highlight works wonders
- #03: Try coloured mascara
- #04: Warm up your complexion
- #05: Use softer lip tones
#01: Use complementary eyeshadow hues
The good news is that girls with hazel eyes have a number of colour palettes to work with. While earthy and copper tones do go well with hazel eyes, it’s best to opt for colours that complement and contrast hazel eyes. Think emerald green and purple; such vibrant hues will make your peepers pop.
#02: Inner corner highlight works wonders
If you have hazel eyes, then one makeup tip you should definitely follow is highlighting the inner corner of your eyes with a vibrant hue such as yellow for added oomph. This little trick can brighten your eyes instantly. Alternatively, you can create a thin stroke on your lower lids using a yellow eye pencil. If you want your eyes to pop, then go the experimental route.
#03: Try coloured mascara
Another eye makeup tip that can instantly make your hazel eyes pop is coloured mascara. However, it is important to follow the same rule as eyeshadow when it comes to picking a colour. Opt for shades of purple and green to make your eyes pop. You can simply dip a spoolie brush or a clean mascara wand in green or purple eyeshadow and apply it to your lashes. Add a dash of gold glitter for added glamour.
#04: Warm up your complexion
Warm, glowing skin will help accentuate your hazel eyes. Therefore, go all out with a blush or a highlighter palette. Add structure to your face by contouring like a pro. Pick an earthy or rose gold-toned blush and layer it with oodles of highlighter. While highlighting the high points of your face, don’t forget your brow bone. Highlighting your brow bone will draw attention towards your eyes, making them pop further.
#05: Use softer lip tones
You don’t want your lipstick to take away all the attention from your eyes. Therefore, it’s best to go for warmer lip colours. Think peachy-pink and soft coral. Such bright warm colours can actually make your hazel eyes pop. If you want to go a little dramatic, then colours such as magenta and fuchsia can work wonders. Simply dab the colour with your fingers to give your lips a soft stained effect, instead of a heavy matte look.
