Brown-eye If you are wondering why you do not see a category on the chart for hazel eyes, it is because they are not just one color. Hazel eyes are either a mixturre of blue and green, or green and brown. So depending on which you have you can place them in two different categories. If you have blue and green hazel eyes you can choose shades from the blue or the green category. If you have green and brown hazel eyes you can choose shades from the green category. So it is up to you decide, don't be scared to experiment

Color Suggestions for Blue eyes
The trick is to learn which colors look better on blue eyes, and start with those, and then branch out with the colors that you are personally drawn to. Women have the ability to choose colors that are complimentary to them. Just because colors are suggested doesn't mean those are the only colors suitable for you to wear.
Colors For Blue Eyes
There are some colors that seem to be made for blue eyes. Icy pinks, silver, gold and violet. You can expand on that by also choosing taupe, gray, and other purples, like lavender.
If you want to add a little "pizazz" to your makeup, try a bright blue instead. I know, You've always heard bad things about blue eyeshadow. However, bright blue eyeshadow will make your eyes really stand out. Try it and see what you think.
Also try turquoise, and if your eyes have green in them, mint green is a great choice. Bright pinks and fuschia are great choices as well. And if you really want to mix it up, try mixing black with another color. It will look stunning and is best for nightwear.
Application Tips
Here's an example of a day look that you could do:
1.Apply a silver shadow from your eyelashes to your eyebrow.
2.Apply lavender from your eyelashes to just above the crease. Blend it well into the silver.
3.Apply violet in a "v" from the middle of your eyelid in the crease and on lash lineto the outer corner. Blend very, very well.
4.Line your eyes with charcoal or dark gray eyeliner.
5.Apply mascara.
You can adjust the colors to be icy pink with fuschia, light and dark turquoise, gold and taupe, gray and bright blue, light blue and bright blue, silver and bright blue, taupe and green, etc. The list goes on and on.
Just play around until you like what you're seeing.

Give the gift of Beauty
Most likely, every woman wants to feel more beautiful on a day to day basis. There is nothing better than natural beauty, but sometimes we as women just want more! With mineral makeup, that can easily be achieved. Some women prefer a more bold approach and that is absolutely wonderful...and very creative, where others prefer a more subtle look. Either way it is your own preference and what makes you as a person feel more beautiful on the inside and out. Someone once told me that "you are only as beautiful as you think you are, but you are always beautiful in my eyes". Beautiful words to live by. Now..as a woman myself, I love to receive gifts. And I'm sure most other women do too. So why not give them the gift of beauty? Give them the gift of Mineral Makeup! Happy Holidays!!
