The magic of makeup is about combining techniques and colors. That’s why professional makeup artists always rely on a tool that gives us the right information when working with color. It’s about the chromatic circle and this allows me to advise you on the best eyeshadow colors to make up and accentuate your eyes.
And what is the color wheel about? It’s a color guide that helps create flattering or creative makeup combinations. For example, if we want a contrasting makeup, we can look at the color wheel and choose two colors that are opposite each other in their location, these two will be complementary and when used together they will stand out more.
On the contrary, there are other more subtle combinations, such as monochromatic where you choose a single color in different shades, an example is a makeup focused on the pink color by applying a pink blush on the cheeks and on the lips a lipstick in a more intense fuchsia†
Now that you know what this color guide is all about, I’m going to show you which are the most flattering shade shades to emphasize the color of your eyes.
This beautiful eye color can be further emphasized with its opposite colors, creating a contrast that makes the brown more vibrant. The colors of makeup shadows that give preference to brown eyes are blue, green, violet and silver.
You can also opt for a smokey in warm tones, this will always be a successful makeup look for brown eyes.
If you have green eyes, you have many options to make your eyes look even more beautiful. The shade colors that emphasize the most green in the iris of the eyesare the pink, wine, lilac and copper shades.
With these shadow colors you make the green look even brighter and more radiant. You can incorporate these colors into your makeup in the form of eyeliner, or with a smoky, and why not, with a pop of color on the waterline or in the tear duct.
To accentuate blue or gray eyes, you can choose both cool and warm shades of eyeshadow. And they will be very flattering. An ideal combination of shadows to accentuate blue eyes is the complementary one, where we will choose colors such as orange, copper and yellow to create contrast and make the blue brighter and brighter.
But if you prefer more subtle colors, you can opt for champagne or gold tones, accompanied by a black eyeliner that emphasizes the blue.
Hazel or honey eye color has the advantage that they change color depending on the light or makeup you use† If you want your honey-colored eyes to have a more greenish hue, you can use the color combination that promotes green eyes: pink, lilac, maroon, and reddish.
And if you want your eyes to show their deepest honey color, opt for the same color combination that brings out brown: blue, green, and purple. For smoky shades in one color, I recommend shades in shades of gold, champagne, and beige.
