For your eyes
BLUE
■ Blues got a bad reputation
when they were heaped on
w
ith abandon in the ’80s.
Now
they’re back in a
simpler, more refined way.
■ Alight wash of powder
blue over the lids adds the
right amount of impact
w
ithout overwhelm
ing fairer
complexions. Denim
and
periw
inkle hues, on the other
hand, are better suited to
olive and dark skin tones.
■ Both navy and cobalt blue
eyeliners are universally
flattering—especially when
paired w
ith a neutral taupe
shadow
.
GREEN
■ W
ith so many variations
that run the gamut from
lime
to pistachio and sage, green
is a great alternative for
those who feel stuck in a
neutral color rut.
■ Hazel and brown eyes look
best in forest green or
emerald tones, while muddy,
moss greens are a safe,
neutral choice for most,
says British makeup artist
Jemma Kidd.
YELLOW
■ Yellow
is a mellow
,
unexpected color that w
ill
wake up your look, especially
when swept across the inner
half of the lid.
■ Pastel, buttery yellows add
dimension to blue eyes; all
others should stick w
ith
more golden tones.
■ Wear yellows sparingly
to avoid oversaturated
color. Pair them
w
ith a
neutral lip color.
PURPLE
■ Purples abound in nature,
so it comes as no surprise
that this shade is flattering
to all.
■ Fair skin tones look best in
lavender and mauve, while
those w
ith olive and dark
complexions should seek
out deeper amethyst and
eggplant tones, says Luis
Casco, a makeup artist for
Mary Kay.
■ Purples electrify green
eyes, but should be avoided
by anyone w
ith dark under-
eye circles.
■ Dark purple eyeliner is a
stunning alternative to basic
black or brown.
sheer. Start simple and build up the intensity to get the look you desire
