If your eyes are....
Green: Warm colors compliment emerald eyes! Try bronze, copper and peachy shades. The contrast between your green eyes and warm, earthy hues is striking.
Blue: Grays and whites are super flattering. Don't be afraid of a little bit of shimmer, but DO avoid an 80s flashback in the way of blue shadow and blue liner.
Hazel to light brown: Ramy says you're in luck! This eye color has the most color options when it comes to eye makeup. Earth tones like browns and grays look great. If you like a pop of color, spring for plum and lavender.

Medium/chocolatey brown: For your warm color, Ramy suggests grays, soft plum and mauve for eyes that melt.
Dark Brown/almost black: You've got a lot of options, too! With smokey charcoal, silver, gold and any metallic shades, you'll make an eye-catching entrance.
Want to play it safe? Ramy says all eye colors are flattered by a taupe or light gray.
