Hazel eyes, what are they?
Hazel eyes are one of the rare eye colors. Indeed, only 5% of the world's population has hazel-colored pupils. This color is found mainly in Europe, Central and Southeast Asia and in parts of the Middle East. This eye color is quite peculiar and it is often confused with brown eyes since it is actually a shade of them, just like dark brown and light brown eyes. In fact, hazel eyes contain several different colored pigments. The base is indeed brown, but it is surrounded by a sort of green or gold halo. You should know that the color of the eyes is partly determined by melanin, like the color of our skin. The more melanin your pupil contains, the darker it will be.
Hazel eyes have one peculiarity, and not the least. Indeed, depending on the light, but also the environment, they will tend to darken or on the contrary to lighten up. Thus, the dominance can alternately be brown or gold or green.
What eyeshadow colors for hazel eyes?
On paper, all the shades bring out hazel eyes. If you have this iris color, you're lucky because you can have fun with whatever eyeshadows you like to create a multitude of makeup looks. Certain colors will bring light to your pupils, such as gold, for example, copper shades, burgundy, plum, gray, blue, pink, purple, etc. You can also go for tone on tone by applying brown or nude eye shadow.
Be careful with pastel colors or even cold shades, such as turquoise, green or silver. If you decide to apply it to your eyelid, be aware that it can dull your eyes, because it is the whites of your eyes that will be highlighted and not the color of your iris. But then again, there are solutions. For example, if you like green, go for warm greens, that is, one that contains touches of yellow or gold. This is the case with khaki, which will highlight the green that makes up your hazel eyes.
