You have: green eyes
This is a no-brainer. Shades of plum and purple are go-to shades for green eyes – create a soft haze by smudging shadow along the upper and lower lash lines for a flattering effect.
You have: brown eyes
Pretty much any colour looks great on you, so try any variation of purple, from burgundy to violet.
You have: blue eyes
A soft lilac across the lid is subtle but striking.
You have: fair skin
Be bold with a vivid violet, or pare it back with a sorbet shade of lilac.
You have: medium skin
Accessorise your eyes with jewel-toned shade of amethyst.
You have: dark skin
Like brown-eyed ladies, you can pull off almost anything, so try it all, from bold to a sheer wash.
