When it comes to hazel eyes, the colors can be explosive. Hazel eyes ranging from mixes of greens, to browns, to gold's, and many other combinations of colors that seem to have been splashed on the eye.

Eye makeup can be difficult but at the same time it's almost a whole new playing field. A person with hazel eyes can pull off that many more looks. The types of shadows, the textures, the brightness, and even the amount serve as plentiful choices and ways to be used when it comes to the hazel eye.

With hazel-green eyes many colors can be put to use. Bronzes and browns, greens and gold colors, creams and greens, black's , and best of all purples. Hazel -greens should stay away from blues not many can pull off blues anyway. If the eyes have some gold color in them in addition then most purples shouldn't be used but all other colors are applicable.

With gold and brown hazel eyes colors are a bit more limited but combinations can always be used on any type of hazel eye. Bronzes and browns mostly, pinks and gold's do wonders for this type of hazel, and creamy colors as well. One never used any intense purples or greens, and obviously blues. Soft purples as well as soft greens can be pulled off if applied in the right amount and style, but for the average woman, it may be to risky or difficult.

Hazel eyes that have a mix of everything are both more difficult and easier in different ways. Basically it's all the colors of both hazel-green and hazel gold browns put together usually can work with the every color hazel if applied in the right combinations and amounts. Smokey eyes can work for all types of hazel eyes just in the right colors.

Blue-Gold hazel eyes have more of a limit. Greens work for this eye color aw well as silvers and blacks. Some light/medium purples can work as well but it all depends on the person and their abilities as a makeup artist. Since this eye has gold with blue it stands out far more and is hard to dress, but for everyday it's good to go natural, bronzes will work as well in the right shades and amounts.

Hazel eyes may be harder to deal with when it comes to makeup but at least they will stand out and be noticed. One doesn't need to have extraordinary makeup to look amazing. Going with a simple combination of shadows will be affective enough. It's best to always go with at least two different shadows and always start with a light base eye shadow; it will bring out the colors better as well as the eyes. Finding inspiration from what you see on either models or celebrities is always fun. It's good to experiment ad find what best fits the eyes. One should never use extreme amounts and should always lightly blend the shadow's, it will create a more natural finish.
