The truth is, some shades just enhance your natural coloring while others might look drab. Even when it comes to hair color, there are certain hues that might flatter your skin and eyes more than others. And in terms of eye makeup, it’s just as important to pick the right tone to make your peepers pop. Wondering which shadow is the right one for you?

Blue
While it’s not always best to match up a shadow to your eye color, a grayish-toned blue can make eyes look even more vivid. Try GloMinerals gloEye Shadow in Blue Suede for drama or Silver Mist for a softer, shimmery look.

Brown
Shades of exotic coral and deep plum can really brighten up neutral eyes. Babor’s Eye Shadow in Fever, an exotic peach, or Twilight, a rich purple, will make brown eyes come alive.

Green
Green eyes look stunning in metallic shades, from an intense copper to a glittery gunmetal.

Hazel
From iridescent periwinkle, to sheer pink, to deep brown, you can wear almost any shade on your lids. So why not try go for the multi-color Pixi – Soft Focus Fresh Palette, which provides hues for endless combinations.

Gray
You can rock a smoky eye like no other, so go for GloMinerals gloMetallic Smoky Eye Kit for a sultry, come-hither look.

My favorite beauty product is... - Anything containing sea salt. It's probably the most amazing exfoliant I've ever used and it leaves my skin feeling fresh and smoother than ever. Can't leave the house without my... - Lip gloss. The rest of the day can be a total bust, but if I have a great gloss on I feel like at least I've done one thing right! I would describe my style as... - Definitely au naturale. While I love exploring new shades of eyeshadow and liner on special occasions, for me the most important part of any beauty regimen is keeping my skin clear and blemish-free.
