MAKE YOUR EYES POP

~ EYE COLOURS ~

Discover which makeup shades will best enhance the colours of your eyes to create alluring looks in the New Year...

~ BEST COLOURS FOR BROWN EYES ~

To make brown eyes really pop we suggest adorning them with some beautiful colours. Warm brown eyes suit deeper colours such as plum, olive and moss green. Try the Eye Of Horus Cosmetics Serpentine or Emerald Tabula Goddess Pencil. Cool brown eyes also suit plum shades but can also go into brighter shades such as teal blue. Try the Eye Of Horus Cosmetics Teal Malachite Goddess Pencil. In both light and dark brown eyes, white eyeliner is always a great option to make eyes appear more awake.

~ BEST COLOURS FOR BLUE EYES ~

If you want to accentuate the “blue” in your baby blues, shades of gold and light warm browns are your most complimentary colours. Try the Eye Of Horus Cosmetics Alchemy Gold Liquid Liner and Bronze Amulet Pencil.
Dark blue eyes suit deep bronze, copper and burnt orange shades of brown. Charcoal, warm brown and plums are also complimentary. Try the Eye Of Horus Cosmetics Isis Sun Goddess Shadow, Copper Liquid Liner and Charcoal Obsidian Goddess Pencils.

~ BEST COLOURS FOR GREEN EYES ~

Choose warm shades such as burgundy, rust, bronze or violet to enhance your eye colour. Gold and copper shades also work well. Bring out any flecks in the eye such as brown, yellow, white or gold by matching the shade. Try the Eye Of Horus Cosmetics Bronze Amulet and Jewel Amethyst Goddess Pencils, or the Gold and Copper Liquid Metal Liners.

~ EYE SHAPES ~

Now that you know which shades to opt for, read on to discover which makeup styles will benefit your eye shape most...

~ MONOLID / HOODED ~

Soft smokey eyes are great for this eye shape and it is most beneficial to use dark matte shades. However a dab of shimmer in the centre of the lid adds some dimension. Define the upper lash line with a dark pencil to make eyes pop.

~ DOWN TURNED  ~

Apply shadow to the eyelid and blend the outer corner upward. Create an upwards illusion with a cat eye flick and when applying mascara, comb the outer lashes up towards the temple to help open the eye. Also highlighting the brow bone will help pull attention upwards. 

~ ALMOND ~ 

Almond eyes suit many different looks however we suggest using a matte taupe colour all over the lid and then creating a darker crease line using a deeper matte shade. Make eyes pop with a highlight of shimmer on the inner corner. For an evening look, tight line eyes with a dark eye liner.

~ ROUND ~

The key with round eyes is to apply most of the makeup on the top lash line and on the outer corners, keeping the bottom lash line to some simple mascara or nude eyeliner. Always keep darker makeup on top and lighter makeup on the bottom.
