Ladies don’t just stick to one shade of plum here. You have shades such as lavender, violet, eggplant and even lilac to play with.

6. Olive Green

All the women who have mastered the art of applying makeup for hazel eyes know that playing with different shades will bring out very different hues in your eyes. So if you want to bring out the brown or that goldenish brown, whatever your eyes have experiment with shades of green. You can choose from gold green, olive green, emerald green, a dusty green or even a bottle green.

• You can dust your eye lids with shades of gold and green, and for a more dramatic look use shades of brown or charcoal in your outer crease. Finish the look with a cat eye, bold mascara and a hint of green on the bottom lid
• If you want something less dramatic use one shade of green, our personal favorite being an olive green and smoke out the corners with a touch of gray or charcoal, line the lower lids with brown and green.
• Another amazing look to try with green is applying a sparkly forest green across your whole lid and also under the lower lash line. Line your eyes with a bottle green line, smudged slightly. This look is soft and subtle and deepens the browns in your eyes by bringing out the greens.
