"How can I find the best makeup color that will match my unique eye color?" This is a great question, one which I have been asked many times. The good news is, yes, there are certain guidelines that you can follow to help you decide what the best colors are to best complement the color of your eyes.  

One of the principles of how to match colors is based on the color wheel theory (demonstrated on the makeup color wheel). According to this theory, there are colors that will complement each other, and this will help you better highlight and accentuate different eye colors. For example:

On the other hand, if you choose to use colors that are close to your eye color, like blue and purple or blue with blue, this will enhance your natural eye color so the overall look will be less intense and more harmonic.

Another principle of color matching is using light vs. dark. This means using either darker or brighter eye makeup products than your eye color, because this will highlight the eye color. Light eyes would be flattered and enhanced by medium to dark colors. Dark eyes would be most flattered and complemented the most by bright and light colors.

For example: light green eyes would look fantastic with grey eye shadow, and dark brown eyes and would look fabulous with a pink eye shadow.

When I have to choose a makeup color and what style to create, I always follow those general guiding principles. They are my main guidelines and they always work to provide beautiful results!

There are so many options for you if you are playing with the right colors for your green eyes. You might think, “Oh, if I have green eyes then I must make up with green eye shadow.” Well, if you use green, you definitely can look lovely but if you really want to enhance your eye color you must first look for the colors that will best boost the green color of your eyes.
