                  The perfect shade of blue

I don't know if anyone has payed attention, but for those who have, doesn't it annoy you when somebody is wearing the wrong shade of eye makeup? Don't you just feel like handing them a mirror and glancing at them with a dissapointed look and a shaking head? What eye colour do you have? Brown? blue? Green? Blue grey? Sky  blue? Hazel? A mix? What eye colour do you wear to work or on a normal daily basis? Have you ever payed attention or do you just go to the nearest cosmetics store and pick the eye makeup that is least expensive? The truth is... there are rules.Specific ones. Each eye colour has a shade that either makes it pop the most or neutralize it. Let's review. Most of us need it anyway.

Brown: You may think that your eye colour looks best in bright popping colours, but since brown is a strong colour, pair it with a light purple or lavender. If you want your eyes to pop dramatically, pair it with a strong coral blue.  You might even want to try a teel or aquamarine colour. Your eyes will not look good with metallic colours like silver, gold, copper brown or colors that are bright and have added glitter. Try to keep it matte. Grey is also a colour that all brown eyes should avoid.

Blue: Blue eyes look great in subtle shades of brown but do avoid brown shades similiar to auburn and that are closer to mahogany than brown. Another thing to advise is not to put dark shades of brown like chocalate brown over the entire lid. Dark brown would look better on the outer V, because over the whole lid it will drown the vibrant blue colour and make it look more grey. Do not use shades that are similiar to blue such as indigo, purple, grey/blue shimmer and do avoid black even in a smokey eye when having blue eyes. If you do have blue eyes and want to try a smokey eye, use a light shade of brown, almost nude, chocolate brown liquid eyeliner and on the contour line as well as the outer V, use a brown colour, about two shades lighter than brown.

Green: Never ever wear orande, yellow, a reddish colour or any bright colour ever. This totally difuses the green colour in your eye and you end up looking more clownish than sophisticated. Green should also NOT be worn with black and a dark grey. Try a more metallic colour such as silver, but not gold. Green eyes look best with shades of purple. For a fun look try a vibrant purple colour over your lids and a teel blue eyeliner on the lower lash line. Green eyes can also look good in shades of green such as forest green, and grass green. A light meadow green is not recommended because you are trying to brighten the shade of green with darker colour like purple and brown.

Hazel: Since hazel is a darker shade of green mixed with brown, it will look good in a slightly darker shade of gold paired with a chocolate brown on the outer V. Remember avoid colours like yellow, red and orange. Because it is a more hazel colour than green, other shades of green are not recommended. Hazel will look good in lighter colours of purple and lavender.

I hope you learned a thing or two about your right shade. If you have any question about the perfect shade for your eye colour please comment below. I hope you'll fing your perfect shade of blue!

    This is a question that is often asked during any remodel or redesign, perhaps because the phrase "neutral colors" gets thrown around frequently during every aspect of the design process. While most people can correctly assume that beige and similar colors are neutral, what is and what isn't a neutral color can be a confusing topic.

    Whilst everybody is wearing the brightest colours in order to stand out, you can juxtapose with neutrals. If you think outside the box, neutral shades such as white, beige and grey can make a bigger impact than bright colours.
