Eye Play

Saturday, December 28, 2013

I love bringing attention to my eyes. Eyes are something that everyone can play up. Think of it this way, unlike your hair, weight, or skin, your eyes can always be counted on. All eyes are beautiful and enhancing them as much as you can - whether that be through the color you're wearing or the makeup you apply - is both an art and an essential beauty technique.  
Have you ever had people comment to you, "Oh your eyes are so pretty! They really pop when you wear [fill in the blank]!" Well for me, that 'fill in the blank' is typically the color green. Read further and I'll tell you what your 'fill in the blank' color is! 
I love that through my fashion choices I can showoff my eyes and make them appear brighter and bigger!

Learn how to bring out the best in your own eyes simply by wearing complimentary colors! 

If you have....

Pale blue eyes: wear lilac or pastel pink 
Light brown eyes: honey brown or green
Dark green eyes: plum or peach 
Mid-to-dark blue eyes: peach or gold
Pale green eyes: lavender or blue-gray
Dark brown eyes: olive green or camel brown
Hazel eyes (like me): emerald green or purple  

When you enhance your eyes, what you're really doing is enhancing your whole look. People are naturally drawn to eyes so go ahead and give yours the boost they deserve!

  34. Your eyes really do pop in green! I have dark brown eyes, and I've found that purple is a great accent color as well, especially when used as eyeshadow.
