Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Green?

Plum and green might not sound like the most natural of combinations, but they are.  Red and green enhance each other, they’re opposites on the color wheel…suffice it to say, one makes the other pop.  So, if you have even the slightest hint of olive in your beautiful brown eyes, any eyeshadow with a little red in it (think plum, reddish brown, copper, etc.) will enhance the green in your eyes.

If your eyes are already green, or blue for that matter, colors with a red undertone should be a staple in your eyeshadow collection.  I added a bit of green to this look to further the effect of bringing out the green in her eyes, and also because I just think the colors are really lovely together.

Regardless of your eye color, this is a look that works well on pretty much anyone.
