How to Find the Best Eyeshadow for Your Eye Color

Finding the perfect eyeshadow is an art in and of itself.

You need one that’s the right texture, richly pigmented, and, most importantly, complements your eye color. To find the best eyeshadow for your eye color, see our gorgeous recommendations below. One of these shadows is sure to catch your eye!

EYESHADOW FOR BROWN EYES

For a chic everyday effect, opt for a neutral, monochromatic eye look.

Looking for something bolder? Try a blue eye palette, which will bring out amber flecks in brown eyes. fmg Glimmer Eyeshadow Quad in Siren features richly pigmented eyeshadow shades that are numbered for easy application. Not to mention, your eyes will pop!

For a glamorous night-out look, go with a gold or bronze eyeshadow. We recommend fmg CathyCat Shadow Gaze Matte Color Stick in Taupe for an insta-worthy look that wows.

Fools Gold will bring out the lighter tones in your eyes for a glowing effect. Use one swipe for a subtle sparkle, or try multiple-layers for full-on glam.

EYESHADOW FOR BLUE EYES

Bring out those baby blues with some contrasting eye makeup. Blue and orange are opposites on the color wheel, so a palette with orange undertones, like our fmg Glimmer Eyeshadow Quads in Maven or Minx are the perfect pairings. Layer the palette’s brown and coral shades as you please and your eyes will stand out in a crowd.

Play up your blues even further with a matching palette like fmg Glimmer Eyeshadow Quad in Vixen. This eyeshadow palette features four richly pigmented shades that you can layer for a cascading light-to-dark blue look. Your eyes will appear bluer than ever.

For a glam effect, opt for fmg CathyCat Shadow Gaze Matte Color Stick in Rosewood or Blush. The pink and peach undertones once again provide the perfect contrast to your cool baby blues.

This sparkling liquid eyeshadow also has major staying power, so your glam-star eyes will last all night long.

EYESHADOW FOR GREEN EYES

If you have green or hazel (greenish-brown) eyes, purple eyeshadow is your best friend. Go with fmg Glimmer Eyeshadow Quad in Temptress or Muse – vibrant purple palettes. Purple hues bring out the yellow undertones in green and hazel eyes, making them appear brighter.

Purple and green are also on opposite sides of the color wheel, so this combo makes a cool contrasting statement.

For show-stopping eyes, swipe on fmg CathyCat Shadow Gaze Matte Color Stick in a shimmery purple hue like Aubergine or Berry. This glittery formula glides on for a gorgeous, camera-ready look that’s sure to earn you compliments.

Once you’ve found your perfect eyeshadow, top it off with more eye-catching makeup, like fmg Glimmer Cream Eyeliner in Blackest Black and our lash-hugging Avon True Color Love At 1^st Lash Mascara. You’ll get a stunning eye makeup look that enhances the beauty of your natural eye color.
