Red Hair

A subtle color over your entire lid works great for a day look (pair with a lashing of mascara) and work in a smokey green eye for night.

 

 

 

Brunette Hair

Model with brown hair and brown eye shadowIf you’re shade of brunette hair borders on deeply dark then create a striking match with blue or green eye shadows. A smokey aqua eye for night is a great choice. If your brunette shade is lighter then match your hair color with brown shades that are named like they come with a caffeine hit (think mocha, coffee and espresso).

 

 

Blonde Hair

To really achieve an eye popping look, however, try shadows in lavender or pink. A splash of violet across your eye lid teamed with some icy platinum blonde locks is the perfect party look. Or a subtle hint of rose pink across your peepers will allow your golden locks to glow during the day.
