But standing in front of rows and rows of eyeshadow palettes at the beauty store can feel overwhelming. With so many options, it’s hard to know which shades will actually make your eyes stand out.

The good news is that certain colors naturally bring out the beautiful tones in hazel eyes. When you choose the right shades and combinations, your eyes instantly look brighter, more defined, and more captivating.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through the best eyeshadows for hazel eyes, along with simple tips to help you choose colors that make your eyes pop while still feeling effortless and wearable.

FAQs

• What is the best eyeshadows for hazel eyes? If you want your green eyes to pop, then wear colors that are opposite of green on the color wheel. Purples, bronzes, golds, and even oranges look great with green eyes!
• What eyeshadow colors should you avoid with hazel eyes? If you have green eyes, try to avoid colors that are close to green on the color wheel like blues.
• How do you build a custom eyeshadow palette? Go to the Palette Builder and add whatever eyeshadow shades you want in your compact! Say goodbye to wasting money on shades you don’t want…curate your compact the perfect colors for your eyes! Learn more about how to build your custom eyeshadow palette.

Complementary Colors

Let’s take it back to elementary school, shall we? In art class, we learned about the color wheel. Colors across from each other on the color wheel are called complementary colors. That means that they pair well together. So, if you have hazel eyes, (either brownish or greenish) the complementary color to green is purple. When searching for eyeshadows that will help those hazel eyes pop, you want to reach for purples, bronzes, golds, and even oranges. Those colors will pair well with your hazel eyes. Good neutral colors for your eyes would be browns or grays. Seint is my all-time favorite makeup line. They have the best eyeshadow colors too! They’re eyeshadows are super pigmented, are a powder but almost go on creamy, and they last fooooorever! Any of these shades will look fabulous with blue eyes:

You can find these eyeshadow shades here:

• Bend and Snap

I know it can be really tricky knowing how the colors look on skin versus the screen! Check out these Seint eyeshadow swatches so you can see what they really look like!

Custom Eyeshadow Palette

Did you know that you can create a custom eyeshadow palette?! Have you ever bought a prebuilt eyeshadow palette at the store and you end up using just a few of the colors? It’s so frustrating when some of the colors go untouched!! It’s such a waste of money.

But not anymore! You can build your own eyeshadow palette! Pick exactly what shades you want and when you’ve finished the shade, you pop the tin out and just replace the one that you want! It saves so much money and you get exactly what you want. It’s a win win!

Eyeshadow Color Palette Ideas

But looking at that list of eyeshadows can still be pretty overwhelming, right?! Like, what colors will even look great together?? A great rule of thumb is to pick 1 light color, 2 medium colors, and 1 darker color. That way you can mix and match the colors to achieve different looks.

And don’t forget! It’s a must to have a great eyeshadow brush if you want a great eyeshadow application! The Eyeshadow Brush and the Smudge Brush are great ones to start with!

You can use any of these eyeshadow techniques in the Seint eyeshadow tutorials below with your favorite color combos!

Products Used

Now, what in the world does this have to do with beauty & makeup?! Every woman was blessed with beautiful eyes and each of us have different shades of eye colors…brown, blue, green, or hazel. Depending on the color of your eyes, different eyeshadow colors will compliment your eyes better than others. And we’re here to help you look your best! I’m going to show you the Best Eyeshadow for Brown Eyes with Maskcara Makeup…
