The Best Makeup For Different Eye Colors

Looking for that perfect eye makeup look? Finding the right colors to match your natural eye shade can be really difficult, especially if you don’t know what to look for.

And if you’re bored with your natural eye color and decide to try out a new one, how can you be sure that you’ll style it right?

Well, have no fear. This blog is all about finding the perfect makeup for different eye colors. Last time, we talked about finding the perfect eye shade for you. This time, we’re taking this even further, and showing you what to do once you’ve already decided on the right color.

Whether you want the best way to elevate your natural hue or are looking for a completely new look, we’ve got your back. From the best natural lenses to the perfect makeup palettes, we’ll go over everything you need to know about how to style different eye colors.

Blue Eyes

If you dream of ocean-blue eyes, then our website is perfect for you. Dream no longer, and find the perfect blue hue for you!

Whether you want to add some sparkle to your natural blues, or you’re trying to find something completely new, try our Sapphire Blue Contact Lenses.

With their natural blue tones, these lenses blend perfectly onto your natural eyes. If your original shade is darker, don’t worry- these lenses are highly pigmented and provide enough coverage to show up over the darkest of eyes, meaning that everyone can be their best, blue-eyed self!

 

Now that you have the perfect blue eyes, what’s the best way of styling them?

For blue eyes, warm shades are recommended, creating that perfect contrast with the icy blue tones. Why not create a soft eye look with oranges and browns? For the perfect liquid brown liner, try our Mehron SFX Wolfman Brown Makeup.

Or for a bolder look that’s festival ready, try our Orange Paintglow UV Face & Body Paint, perfect for graphic liner or face paint looks. 

Just make sure not to get this face paint in your eyes!

 

Take a look at this gorgeous blue-eyed look by our affiliate @tiaxxmakeup.

Brown Eyes

Maybe, instead of being an icy beauty, you want to try out something a little warmer. Nothing says year-round warmth quite like brown eyes!

If you have natural brown eyes, then you’re in luck. But if you don’t- don’t panic! You can switch up your look in an instant with our Morning Coffee Brown Contact Lenses.

These warm brown lenses are perfect for giving you that dark-eyed, comforting feel. With a deep, coffee-toned hue, these lenses give your eyes a depth and complexity that’s hard to find. Try our brown natural lenses today for a brand new look!

 

And to style your new brown eyes, gold is key! Nothing highlights the many different shades of your brown eyes quite like a gold liner or eye shadow. For a little more depth, add some magentas and purples. Why not try a magenta mascara? 

Or, take a look at our Mehron SFX Paradise Makeup Tropical Palette, and use the magenta shade to cover your eyelid.

For parties, try the Paintglow Yellow UV Party Stick, perfect for on-the-go bold liner that contrasts with your dark eyes. Just make sure not to stick too close to the eyeline, as you don’t want to risk irritating your eye.

And for a little added fun, try wearing your Paintglow Liner under a blacklight, and get a magical, glowing look that will have everyone’s heads turning!

Green Eyes

When it comes to beautiful, enticing eyes, green is often the color that people first think of. Widely considered the rarest eye color in the world, green is a gorgeous, jewel shade that’s bound to be desired by anyone who sees it. 

Want to try out a green look? Try our Jade Green Contact Lenses for a style that will leave others green with envy!

This natural green shade is perfect for giving your eyes a subtle change and adding some sparkle to your everyday look. Make the most of our natural lenses and find the perfect eye color for you!

 

Once your eyes are transformed into a beautiful green color, you may be asking yourself how exactly you can style them.

The secret to finding the best eye makeup is to always find the opposite shade on the color wheel, as that’s the one that will best contrast with your eyes. For blue, it was orange, and for green, it’s not far off. Warm reds and oranges are your best bet when styling green eyes. You can always use browns and golds for a cohesive, regal look, but warmer tones are the ones that will really make your eyes stand out.

For example, why not give yourself a smoky eye look with brown and red eyeshadow, and then complete your style with our Paintglow UV Red Party Lipstick? A bold red lip is always a winner, and contrasts beautifully with green eyes to create a timeless, striking look.

If we take another look at @tiaxxmakeup, we can see this gorgeous look, based on green eyes:

 

The red and magenta tones, as predicted, give the perfect warm contrast to these light Air Optix Colored Green Contact Lenses. You can experiment like @tiaxxmakeup with liner and special features, and build on top of your main color to create an entire party look.

Gray Eyes

Finally, we have gray, another rare, special color. Gray eyes are very versatile, making for the perfect dark, stormy cosplay look as well as forming a good base for natural pastel makeup. 

Try our Air Optix Sterling Gray Contact Lenses to go gray today!

 

These lenses are the perfect sterling gray color, halfway between blue and a dark charcoal. Perfect for so many different looks, the multi-tonal design of these lenses makes them complex and realistic. And if you have darker eyes, you too can wear these Air Optix lenses. Due to their high levels of pigmentation, these gray lenses cover every eye color, making them the perfect style for trying something brand new.

 

When it comes to makeup, gray is best highlighted by blues and jewel tones. This means darker, deeper blues like navy blue and aquamarine, as well as golds and silvers. Try a blue eyeshadow by diluting some Paintglow UV Blue Face and Body Party Paint. You can spread it all over your lid, or blend it out for a subtle, smoky look.

Pair this with some silver or black eyeliner to really highlight the gray lenses. 

And for those glittery highlights that are bound to make your eyes stand out, try the Paintglow Ghost White Face Paint Stick. You can apply it on the go to take a look from professional to party-ready!

Of course, @tiaxxmakeup has another gorgeous look that shows us how to style gray eyes.

 

Using the same Air Optix Sterling Gray Contact Lenses that we recommended, @tiaxxmakeup uses blue paint to completely cover the eyelid, allowing for the blue-gray tones of the lenses to stand out. You can also see how her use of white highlight completely elevates this look, making it perfectly shiny and smooth.
