Mostly, green is found to be the dominant color. The best eyeshadows for hazel eyes are neutral colors, like brown and pinks.

If you choose a green shade, then choose dark green colors and wear them in the crease, along with a neutral color on the eyelid.
Do not choose blue and gray, as they clash with the natural colors of your eyes. If you observe gold tones or flecks in your eyes, then choose gold or bronze eyeshadows.
You can even try the tried-and-tested colors, like brown, apricot, purple, plum, and deep khaki. You can even try forest green to brighten the green in the eyes. In case you want to create a more funky look, choose colors like tangerine, royal blue, hot pink, and lime-green.

How to Apply the Eyeshadow

  • Begin with a base coat of neutral eyeshadow. Cover the entire eyelid with a base color like beige or champagne. If you have a darker complexion, then choose darker shades or a brighter shade.
  • Contour the eyes using a darker shade. Blend the darker eyeshadow with the base color to create depth and add to the mystery.
  • Use a light, shimmery color to highlight the brow bones of your eyes. You can even use highlighters on the inner eye to brighten them up.
  • The eyeliner helps give more depth to your eyes. Apply it on the rim of the eyelid, with a darker shade on the upper and lower lash line and white eyeliner in the rims.
  • The white liner helps brighten up the eyes and makes them look wide and awake.
If your eyes have a green dominant shade, the eyeshadow should include gold, bronze, and copper colors. You can even go in for brown, chocolate, and mustard yellow. Peach, beige, champagne, taupe, and apricot also work well for hazel eyes. Plum, mauve, purple, violet, pink, and deep or mossy green also look good as eyeshadow for hazel eyes.
If you have brown as the dominant shade in your eyes, then try colors like brown, beige, and tan.
You can even opt for colors like gray, charcoal, khaki, olive green, and mocha. In case of gold flecks, try bronze and gold as your eyeshadow color. Violet and lavender also work wonders.
These are some eyeshadow tips for hazel eyes that will make your eyes look attractive and bring out the various colors in them.
