Which Eyeshadow Will Complement Your Eye Color Best?

"Your eyes are naturally bright, so you don't have to rely on vivid shadows and liners to attract attention," Son says. "A muted purple is the perfect pop for a night out, and a shimmery brown is just enough color during the day."

Light, neutral tones best complement cool blue eyes. "Steer clear of anything harsh, like an overly dark, smokey look," Son says. "Apply softer, tonal shades like coral and champagne—they'll catch the glint in the iris, but won't distract."

Sooty, smoky shades enhance gray eyes. "Add light depth with a hazy wash of misty gray or a silvery blue," Son says. "Choosing a similar steely hue is the best way to subtly play up this rare eye color."

Dusting lids with rich pigment amps up dark eyes. "Create the illusion of giant eyes with strong shades like violet, silver and chocolate," Son says. "Accentuate dark eyes even more with black liner in the waterline to define."

Choose the metallics and pastels in your palette. "Heavy, smoky shadows tend to hide the subtle hints of green and gold in multi-tonal eyes," Son says. "On the other hand, delicate metallics and dusty pinks intensify the flecks and make light brown eyes sparkle."
