Top 3 Makeup tips for green eyes!

Hi Lovelies,

For all my green eyed beauties, here are my top 3 tips to having captivating green eyes!

1. Play with purples – Bring out your gorgeous green eyes with makeup that is red-based. To widen the look of close-set eyes, apply shades of deep plum eye shadow toward the outer edges and a lighter shader of purple toward the inner eye. If your eyelids are a little droopy, do the opposite. Avoid purples with blue undertones, as well as blue eye shadow and eyeliner. Dark green, lavender, purple, plum or lilac tones work best for green eyed ladies. Gold and copper are great for highlighting green eyes.  A general rule of thumb for green eyes is to choose warm shades vs. cooler shades.

2. Avoid silver – If you want to experiment with metallics, avoid silver shades on the eyes. However, bronze, copper and gold looks absolutely fabulous with green eyes for the evening. Brown or dark green eyeshadow with flecks of gold are also terrific choices.

3. Skip the black eyeliner – Everyone loves black eyeliner but it isn’t the best choice for green-eyed beauties. Use chocolate brown liner for everyday. To spice things up, try grey or gold. To open up your eyes and make them pop, add a little white eyeliner to the inner corner near the tear duct.

Follow these tips and you will be the envy of all friends. I hope this helps and inspires you to try different shades and techniques.

Stay sweet xoxo

Top 3 Makeup tips for blue eyes!

Hi Lovelies,

For all my blue eyed beauties, here are my top 3 tips to having fabulous blue eyes!

1. Pick the right eyeshadow – For the office, stick with brown, rose, lavender and neutral shades. For a special date, try metallics in silver and gold, turquoise and icy pink shades.

2. Experiement for the evening – For the evening, try a smokey eye look using grey, dark blue or purple shades.

A dark blue shade will bring out the natural blue tones in blue eyes, try dark blue shades combined with black shades for that wow factor.

3. Tone down your lips – Emphasize your gorgeous blue eyes, whether they are pale blue or deep sapphire, by toning down your lip color. Pick a matte lipstick in a peachy brown shade. For your cheeks, add a light sweep of blush in a very natural hue.

I hope this helps lovelies, try out these colour combinations for a glamouros look.

Stay sweet xoxo

Top 3 Makeup tips for brown eyes!

Hi Lovelies,

For all my brown eyed beauties, here are my top 3 tips to having smouldering brown eyes!

1. For deep brown eyes – If your eyes are dark brown, medium to dark shades of eye shadow will work for you. Try plum, forest green or charcoal grey. The best shades are dark brown, mauve, gold and bronze.  

2. For medium brown eyes – Medium to light brown eyes can try green, violet or bronze shades. Medium brown eyes can wear almost any colour of eye makeup. Experiment by pairing neutral shadow with metallic eyeliner in copper or bronze for a dramatic evening look.

3 . For light brown eyes – Avoid using black eyeliner, use dark brown or other colours instead. For something a bit different, apply a neutral shade of shadow on the lid, a darker hue of the same colour in the crease, then line your eyes in gold or green to reflect the flecks of colour in your iris. If your eyes are hazel, try champagne tones with violet, bronze or brown liner.

I hope this helps, try these tips out and see if you can notice the difference.

Stay sweet xoxo
