Jeepers peepers!

Jeepers peepers!

Out with a friend last night I couldn’t help admire her eyes. In fact, I was transfixed by them.

They’re crystal clear blue, made even brighter by the fact that the whites of her eyes are actually white (something that, as a contact lenses wearer, is forever out of my reach) and are framed by gorgeously long lashes. Jealous much?

Anyway, she’d done nothing overly complicated with her make-up, just an easy sweep of charcoal liner, softly blended into a pearly peach shadow (which I later learned was MAC Eye Shadow in All That Glitters) and a slick of mascara – simple yet sooo effective.

It got me thinking that while most of us struggle to create complicated eye looks, it’s actually not that hard to make your peepers pop – you just have to know which shades will accentuate the colour of your eyes.

If your eyes are blue: Warm shades of peach, brown, taupe and gold work well for you. Try: Australis Cosmetics Duo Eyeshadow in Enchanted Forest, or Revlon Matte Eyeshadow in Peach Sorbet.

If your eyes are brown: Opt for rich plums, soft pinks or copper-toned shadows to bring out any flecks of colour in your eyes. Try: Bobbi Brown Metallic Eye Shadow in Velvet Plum, or Prestige Cosmetics Let Loose Eyeshadow Dust in Bounce.

If your eyes are green: Beautiful browns and varying hues of violet will set off your eyes best. Try: Max Factor Earth Spirits Eye Shadow Pots in Walnut, or Clinique Colour Surge Eye Shadow Quad in Plum Seduction.
