How to Make Blue Eyes Pop

Blue eyes can be mesmerising and with the right eyeshadow colours you can make them shine even more.  

Blue naturally has a cool undertone, so pairing this with an orange eyeshadow will create the strongest contrast. Now, we don’t necessarily mean you need to pick a bright tangerine eyeshadow. Shades with a warm, earthy undertone will help to enhance your eyes. 

Warm browns, oranges and peaches are the best eyeshadow colours for blue eyes. Layering them creates the perfect backdrop to make your eyes pop. Add a little more drama at night with golds, bronzes and copper shimmers, which will bring attention to the baby blue flecks in your iris. If your eyes are more of a deep blue, opt for shades with a touch of yellow, like pale gold.  


Best Eyeshadow for Blue Eyes

The  Reloaded Palette Iconic Fever is the best eyeshadow palette for blue eyes. It has every shade your blue eyes could need, including warm browns and orange tones.

How to Make Green Eyes Pop  

If you have green eyes, you’re extra special as it’s the rarest eye colour in the world. Only 2% of the population have green eyes, so you don’t need to do as much to make them stand out!   Green’s complementary colour is red, so any colour with a red undertone can help green eyes pop.  

Corals, rose golds and maroons all pair well with green eyes. Shades with a more purple undertone, like lilac or plum, can also help to highlight the yellow flecks in green eyes to make them sparkle. They may seem daunting, but we promise that purple eyeshadows will intensify the green of your eyes.  


Best Eyeshadow for Green Eyes

The  Reloaded Palette Newtrals 2 offers the perfect selection of eyeshadows for green eyes. It has a captivating combination of reds, purples, and burgundies. This eyeshadow palette is guaranteed to make heads turn by making your eyes shine. Dare to be bold!

How to Make Brown Eyes Pop  

Brown-eyed babes can play with a whole range of shades across the colour wheel. Contrasting shades, like teal, turquoise and green, will instantly illuminate your brown eyes. If green feels a bit bold, opt for grey and silver shades to complement and contrast the warmth of your eyes.  

Alternatively, use a golden shimmer shade to help emphasize the amber tones in your eyes.

If you want your eyes to leave a lasting impression, say hello to the Forever Flawless Ice Eyeshadow Palette.  The bold shades of greens and blues will make your brown eyes seriously pop, while the soft neutral shades can be worn daily and pair beautifully with intense green shades.
