Here's a chart to keep in mind:

  • Blue eyes.......... gold or blue
  • Green eyes.......... purple or turquoise
  • Brown eyes.......... purple, blue
  • Hazel eyes.......... magenta, silver, 
Those are the colors I think would look good on you if you want to do a color pop. To find out how to do a color pop, keep reading!

start out with a clean face, no makeup:
yep, that's me with no makeup..... ;P
 step 1: prime your lids


step 2: apply a light cream color to the inner half of your lid


step 3: pat an ultra-light taupe color on the other half of your lid



step 4: take an angled crease brush...
 and sweep a copper color into your crease. You can bring it into your outer corner too, if you want.

step 5: take your favorite black eyeliner and smudge it into your upper lashline. Bring it a tiny little bit above the upper lashline and line the outer half of your upper lid.


step 6: take a dark brown matte shadow and set the liner with it, smudging the liner ever so slightly.

step 7: using your choice of color (see chart above for my suggestions of which colors go with which eye colors), line your waterline with eyeliner and smudge it into your lower lashes.


step 8: wet a thin eyeshadow brush and mix the water with an eyeshadow that matches your eyeliner.

this is actually a paintbrush but I've never used it to paint before, so i use it for makeup.


step 9: line your lower lashline with the wet shadow.


step 10: curl your lashes (and for all those people who think eyelash curlers are scary, they're not!)

step 11: apply a generous amount of your favorite mascara

i try to be generous without being clumpy :)

Your done with the eyes!

step 12: apply your foundation

step 13: pat a coral-peach cream blush to the apples of your cheeks


step 14: dab a peachy lip color on your lips and your done!
