Blue eyes
Make blue eyes pop by sticking to opposites on the colour wheel – think orange tinted shades like bronze or terracotta. To accentuate eyes, line them with a copper metallic shadow, blend a bronzy brown all over lids or swipe coral and champagne shades all over your lids for daytime.

Hazel eyes
Hazel eyes are incredibly multidimensional – enhance them by bringing out the hints of gold and green in them. Get eyes sparkling by using lighter metallics and pastels, or blend a mossy green on lids to make the gold flecks in your eyes really stand out.

Green eyes
Green eyes usually comes in three forms: true green, golden green and hazel green. For true green, opposites attract, with deep purples and warm reds to intensify your eye colour. Golden green eyes work well with a silvery smoky eye, while a hazel green pairs stunningly with other shades of green.

Grey eyes
Like green, grey eyes come in multidimensional colours too. To bring out blues and greens, shades in the orange family work well – shades of peach, salmon and terracotta will make grey eyes look even brighter and lighter.
