Eye Shadow for color eyes - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

Lalli · 05-03-2006, 04:51 PM

I have strange eyes. Not sure if they're hazel or not. I was born with green eyes and now I have a mixture and specks of blue gray and green, with a very small amount of light brown around the pupil. I've been wearing purple shadow around my eyes lately because I saw a girl on TV with bright/hot purple eye shadow lined around her green eyes.

My question is, what color eye shadow would be good for my color eyes? And, lol, does anyone else have weird eyes like this?

I have a friend who has eyes just like yours, one day I spent several minutes trying to figure out what color her eyes were... but there isn't just one color like you said. We were very curious to see how many people have eyes like this, so we looked it up, and you definetly have Hazel eye color.

Hazel is usually used to describe eyes that contain elements of both green eyes and brown eyes (and sometimes blue), sometimes transitioning from green at the edges to brown around the pupil . Green or hazel eyes follow the principle of "complimentary colors;" pinks, deep mauves, lavenders, rich plums, and eggplant shades will cause the green or hazel to appear more vibrant.

The bright purple eyeliner would look much better on someone with Brown eyes like me. I love to wear bright purple around my eyes because it makes them pop and I always get compliments. But my friend looks much better in this sparkely pink, or bright yet dark green eyeliner.

I hope this has helped

I don't have eyes with lots of colour, but my eyes do change colour depending on what colours I wear. My eyes change from blue to green. When I was younger my eyse were just blue but as I got older I noticed that they changed. I like to wear pink colours around my eyes if I want them to looke blue, and light green colours to make them look green. Even the clothing I wear will make my eye colour look either green or blue. I say have fun with colours and try the rainbow untill you find one you love. I'v tried so many different colours until I fell in love with pink and green. Have fun!

I have the same kind of eyes. The pinks really make the blue pop. When I use the pink I also use a navy mascara instead of black.

Good idea about switching up mascara colours. I'v only ever used black. Maybe I need to venture a bit and I'll try Navy. Thanx
