This is the dream of not only every beautiful girl, but also a woman of any age. After all, you really want to look into bright and expressive eyes and see your own reflection in their depths. But this is impossible to achieve without the right makeup, which you can do yourself by following the tips in this article. In it, you will learn how to make a bright and expressive make-up so that your eyes sparkle like mirrors in a bright frame. Here are some of the simplest options that can transform the image of any girl beyond recognition.
Blue and gray eyes
They themselves resemble crystals, so they require decent decoration. Moreover, in blue-eyed blondes with light eyebrows and hair, they can be lost and be expressionless. They need to use high-quality, but not bright means. Here's how to do daytime makeup for blue eyes:
Highlight the area under the lower eyelids with a corrector and apply a little highlighter to the area of the inner corners. Already this procedure will help open your eyes and hide fatigue.
We draw thin arrows. For daytime makeup, you can choose colors slightly darker than your natural shade of eyebrows and hair, but here you need an exact hit. Otherwise, the eyes will appear drawn. If you have warm hair, close to corn, then you need to take a pencil shade of caramel or milk toffee, depending on the severity of the red and yellow. For fair-haired, any eyeliner tones of wet asphalt, as well as black, are suitable, but owners of chestnut curls cannot do without deep chocolate. Only not the one that you want to eat right away, but a pencil of this shade. The arrow should be as natural as possible and give your eyes a beautiful shape, as in the photo. After that, proceed to the shadows.
Additional expressiveness. In daytime makeup, you need to use shades of powder shades. Apply the lightest ones on the inner corner and on the moving eyelid, and emphasize the expressiveness of the eyes with the dark ones, as if drawing shadow areas that will visually make your eyes large, as in the video.
Ink. Contrary to popular belief, blue and blue shades do not suit blue-eyed ladies. With them, your look can turn out to be inexpressive and blurry. But if you like this color, you can only use dark tones, such as the color of the night sky with a blue spray. In order to make expressive eyes day makeup, take mascara a little darker than the shade of your pencil. For example, brown, gray or black. It should be fresh, lengthening and without lumps. For evening make-up, you can use only dark purple or blue eyeliner and mascara, but only dark shades. Then your eyes will become expressive, as in the photo.
Green eyes
In this case, knowledge of the features of your appearance and your color type is required. The fact is that eyes of this color can be both warm and cold, so they require a non-standard approach. It is no coincidence that stylists are reluctant to describe makeup for green eyes. In principle, it is no different from blue eye makeup, if you follow a few simple rules. Any girl can remember them, especially if she paints for the first time. Now you will know exactly how to make the look expressive.
Green eyes do not like gray and blue shades, and not only in shadows, but also in mascara.
Dramatic evening make-up you get using black eyeliner and false eyelashes of the same color. Well, if you want to seem mysterious, then you can’t do without mascara of a deep purple hue and expressive makeup to match it. Whatever your eyes are, they sparkle like gems, especially in artificial light.
In daytime make-up, use dark brown mascara, and if you are blonde, then malachite, darker than your eye color, as in the video.
Brown eyes
Nature itself made them bright, so they require a minimum of decorative cosmetics. But still they need a little correction. Brown eyes in themselves attract attention, so the makeup will be the same as for blue and gray, if you follow the rules. Then you will get a beautiful result, as shown in the photo.
Expressive and clear eyebrows. They should always be tinted, especially if you are a brunette, then the look will acquire the necessary depth.
Eyeliner and mascara. In daytime makeup, brown-eyed girls should avoid gray and too light tones, as their eyes will be lost. The pencil should be very dark and without mother-of-pearl, like ink. During the day, you can use brown shades, and in the evening - black, expressive eggplant or bright blue combined with shimmering mother-of-pearl shadows.
The arrows should be located along the lash line and merge with them, otherwise the makeup will look sloppy.
You can write about expressive means for a long time, but the principle of their selection is the same. This is quality and beauty, and most importantly, that they suit you.

- And browns will become brighter if you use a purple or deep blue shade in your makeup.

This will create a base for eye makeup, thanks to which it will become brighter, will not fade or roll on the eyelids during the day.

To make it look like the eyes have a beautiful almond shape, blend the shadows from the outer corner of the eye towards the temple. To make the shading as soft as possible, take a clean, fluffy brush and walk along the edge of the shading again.

Use your fingertip to do this and gently blend the shadows around the edges. Illuminate the inner corners of the eyes with a highlighter or light shadows with shimmer, and mark the bone under the eyebrow with matte shadows a tone lighter.

You can safely look for makeup ideas for blue eyes on photo reports from the red carpet. Barbara Palvin often opts for soft pink shades of eyeshadow, which makes the face look
Instruction
Eye color depends a lot on your surroundings, from your clothes, jewelry, to the decor of your room. So, for example, gray eyes will look blue if you wear blue clothes. Green and lilac clothing will give dull green eyes the color of a bright emerald. But with this method, you can only slightly change the shade, and turning brown eyes into green will not work.
Light intensity can change the color of light eyes, changing their color range from light gray to deep sea. This largely depends on the color of the lighting, the walls and the size of the room. So use this method only in limited or suitable weather.
A fairly simple way to change the shade of the eyes is makeup. To do this, you need to use certain shadows and eyeliner to emphasize the color. For example, if gray, you need to apply makeup in shades of gray to make your eyes bluer. If you want to make them gray, you need to use blue cosmetics. With the help of a brown or green contour pencil, green eyes become darker.
Eye color changes by itself as a person grows up, so you can just wait. Babies are born with dark and rich eye color, and the older the person gets, the lighter the shade becomes. People's eyes become very light, as if fading. If in youth there was a dark brown color, in old age the eyes become honey-colored.
Strong emotions change eye color, but this is unlikely to be used on an ongoing basis. However, it is worth remembering that any emotional upheavals are reflected in the shade, it is enough to experience fear, anger, love, pain, joy. Eyes react differently to each emotion - they can brighten or darken.
Some diseases can cause a change in the eye, albeit a minor one. The iris becomes slightly lighter or darker, blue eyes turn into gray or acquire a green tint. Although diseases have practically no effect on brown eyes, they remain in their color scheme.
There are inflammatory diseases that affect only one eye. These diseases include the syndrome of Fuchs and Posner-Schlossman. In recovered people, the iris acquires a greenish tint. Although it is unlikely that a person will purposefully look for these diseases in order to change the color of the eyes.
In glaucoma, special eye drops are prescribed to reduce intraocular pressure. If you use them for a long time, the color of the eyes becomes darker. Although if a person has brown eyes, the difference will not be noticeable. But using such drops without a doctor's prescription is not recommended, and they will not prescribe them just for the sake of changing eye color. After all, if you use them on healthy eyes, side effects may appear and vision will begin to deteriorate. The desire to make the eyes a little darker is not worth the risk.
Sometimes it is enough to really want to change the color, and the body obediently adapts to desires. Visualization helps in this - imagining yourself with the right shade of eyes. To do this, you need to find a quiet place so that no one disturbs you, and turn on calm music. If you find that you will not be able to focus on the music, then you can visualize in complete silence.
When everything is ready, you need to take a comfortable position, completely relax and close your eyes. Imagine your face in detail, just replace the real eye color with the desired one. Take a close look at yourself, enjoy the view and send a request to the universe to send you what you want.
For the effectiveness of the method, you can change the color of the eyes in your photo in Photoshop and print it to make it easier to visualize.
Some visualization options recommend that you close your eyes and instead of the darkness in front of your eyes, imagine the natural color of your eyes, and then gradually change it to the desired one.
Another cheap and safe method is self-hypnosis. It is very similar to the previous one, but in this version you need to turn not to the universe, but to your body. To do this, you need to constantly repeat certain phrases that give the installation to the eyes to change color. They can sound differently: “I have eyes (insert the desired) color”, “my eyes (that color)”. Such phrases should be spoken aloud in the morning and evening before going to bed, when the subconscious mind is most active.
It will not work to radically change the color of the eyes with such methods, so sometimes it is much more effective to turn to medicine. For these purposes, you can use laser correction, which removes excess pigments in the iris and can turn brown eyes into blue. Although this method has significant drawbacks: a high price of about $ 5,000 and irreversibility. The technique is quite new, so there is little information about the long-term effects.
In addition to laser correction, you can use other medical services. Dr. Kahn developed a surgical procedure in which a special color-matched implant is implanted into the iris of the eye. A big plus of such an operation is that after a while you can remove it to return to the original color or try something new. However, after such an operation, undesirable consequences may appear, including glaucoma, cataracts, blindness and corneal detachment.
To choose the color of the shadows for your eye color, it is best to use the color wheel. The color that is on the opposite side of your eye color will be the one that perfectly accentuates the eyes. Colors that are to the left will help achieve a more natural result in makeup.

- Bring out the richness of your eyes with warm eyeshadows with orange undertones such as coral or champagne. In this case, they will appear brighter than they really are. If you choose a shade of rust color, the eyes will become brighter and acquire a slight shade of electric blue. Mix these shadows with gray-blue-green or add some brown tones in the crease and in the outer corner of the eye for a more dramatic effect.
- For daytime make-up, use more neutral tones: brown, taupe, terracotta, or any shade with an orange undertone. For evening makeup, try metallic shades: gold, copper, bronze.
- Using blue or green shadows, you can give light eyes a steely gray tint. For the same purpose, try shades of black, charcoal or silver. Copper, melon, neutral brown, orange, peach and salmon will help achieve a blue hue. You can also add some blue shadows to the inner corner of the eye.

- Cold colors will help make brown eyes brighter. People with brown eyes can wear eye shadow in almost all colors, but purple or blue will instantly make them more attractive. For everyday use, use brown shadows, and if you want to highlight the eyes, use silver brown or orange brown options. For evening make-up, try metallic: bronze, copper or gold. In addition, golden shades with a green tint would be a good solution. If you want a bolder make-up look, try blue eyeshadow, grey, green or purple.
- If you have dark brown eyes or black eyes, try to take a chance - and use bright blue, purple, silver or chocolate shadows.
- Hazel eyes have gold and green flecks that can be made brighter and more prominent. Don't use heavy colors. Use shadows in bronze, dusty pink, eggplant. Swamp color will emphasize green blotches. If you want your eyes to take on a deeper chocolate hue, use gold or green eye shadow.

This is interesting
Babies that have recently come out of the womb have blue eyes. This is due to the fact that melanin is produced, but very weakly. When a child reaches three months, his eyes change, because the color pigment reaches the peak of its development.
In the world, 2 types of abnormalities associated with the production of melanin have been found. An albino man sees the world through blood vessels because he has no melanin at all. The irises of such people are pink or red. The next unique consequence is called heterochromia, when the iris of one eye differs in color from the other.
Experts notice that eye color often changes after illness. In most cases, they darken, brighten or switch to similar colors. So, blue eyes become gray, brown - black, and green can be replaced by light brown.
Study your diet carefully
Food is closely related to all processes in the body, including the production of melanin in the eyeballs. The hormones norepinephrine and serotonin have the ability to dilate and constrict the pupils for a certain period of time, as a result of which the eyes either darken or brighten. Radical changes in your daily diet will not change the color of your iris much.
If you like to diet, make a menu based on individual needs. Include foods that contain the optimal amount of these hormones in your diet. Eat oatmeal, hard cheeses, natural chocolate. Try to eat more oranges, melons, bananas, porcini mushrooms, green vegetables. Sport also promotes the production of serotonin, you may need to change your rhythm of life to a more active one.
Monitor your own emotions
When a person rejoices, his pupils dilate and become distinct and bright. If you are angry or sad, the iris darkens. With an endless and prolonged stream of tears, the shell of the eyes brightens, becomes transparent, and the red vessels contrast with the natural color of the eyes, so their shade changes.
Carry out regular cleansing of the body with decoctions of plants
People who change eye color in this way, unanimously claim the effectiveness of the procedures. Medicinal herbs affect the hormonal background, especially for women. Such changes provoke a change in the color of the iris to contrasting shades. Your eyes may be blue, but with prophylaxis and herbal cleansing, they will go to the blue or green side.
Make an infusion of chamomile flowers, cornflower, licorice root, rosemary and mint, consume with meals, but at least 5 times a day for two weeks. Modern tea boutiques, pharmacies and shops proper nutrition offer all these infusions in a ready-made version. You just have to buy the powder and dilute it with warm water.
Use lenses that are sold in any pharmacy
The variety is amazing, you have the opportunity to make your eyes not only brown, green or blue. Manufacturers produce purple, gold, silver, yellow and even black lenses, the choice depends on personal preferences. It is important to carefully read the instructions so that "artificial eyes" serve you faithfully for many years. Be sure to use a cleaning solution and remove your lenses at night.
Get your makeup right
If you are putting on a discreet and natural make-up, go for bright colors. Shadows, eyeliner, mascara and false eyelashes of various colors will create the illusion of a different shade of eyes. They shade the iris, give it brightness and unusual colors.
Color makeup works wonders! To make eyes with a blue tint, use golden and copper shadows, purple eyeliner will give the iris a green tint, and blue can make the eyes brown, almost black.
"Photoshop" for indecisive persons
If you often sit on social networks, are an active user of VKontakte, Instagram and Facebook, buy a subscription to Photoshop. In the program, you can change the color of your eyes with one click of the mouse, daily experiments will help you decide on more drastic measures.
Master the Art of Meditation
Meditation does wonderful things with the human body. The power of thought and the involvement of consciousness not only change the spiritual world, they treat diseases, help to cope with stress, and even change the color of the eyes. The situation is to control the hormonal background, during which you change the chemical processes throughout the body. Amazingly, with the help of auto-training, you can change the color of the iris not only to dark or light, but also to the opposite. It is important to choose the right technique on your own or contact a meditation guru.
Stand in front of a mirror every day and start working with your consciousness, follow the process, imagine in your brain how your eyes are changing. Meditation does not work immediately, you will have a step-by-step change in the shade of the iris, continue classes until you achieve the desired eye color. Auto-training is not harmful to health, but you will set your body to change eye color depending on your own emotional state. If you often experience conflicting feelings when communicating with others, this phenomenon will seem extremely frightening to them.
Eye drops work wonders
Drops are one of the most effective ways to change eye color at home. Suppose the color of the iris is now gray-blue, when using drops, you will make them brighter, cleaner, bluer. It will not be possible to achieve cardinal changes, pharmacy products do not last long (5-6 hours), but this method is great for important events.
By resorting to simple manipulations, you will create a sky-blue tint in just a minute. If you decide to use drops, first consult with an ophthalmologist so that he chooses the best option. Buy funds only in a pharmacy, always check the expiration date and do not use the Internet to purchase medicines.
Clothing will accentuate the color of the eyes
If you are the lucky owner of green, brown and blue eyes, wear appropriate clothing. Green eyes are emphasized by purple and red outfits, blue-eyed clothes of red and purple shades are suitable. Brown-eyed people can safely buy yellow, golden and white robes.
Clothing tips apply to scarves, hats, sweaters, T-shirts and shirts. Jeans or shorts in these colors will not help you.
What Not to Do
- Many "experts" recommend using honey to brighten the iris, do not resort to this method. The technique consists in daily instillation of the eyes with a liquid honey solution, but the danger is too great. Honey belongs to plant products, it contains all kinds of bacteria and fungi. When eating honey, this percentage seems insignificant, but the eyes can be severely affected up to the loss of your vision. Scientific experiments with this traditional medicine have not been carried out, as a result of which the danger has not gone away. Do not risk your own health by dripping honey, you will irritate your eyes and cause capillaries to crack.
- In no case do not affect the hormones with drugs in the form of capsules or special tablets. Yes, they are able to change the size of the pupil, its darkness / lightness, however, these drugs dramatically affect emotions, the general condition of the body and the genitals. No need to force the body, there are many other ways to change eye color at home.
- Do not be led by advertising signs and banners on the Internet that hypnosis changes eye color. The iris takes on a different shade only during the influence of the hypnotist on your body, but at the end of the session, the result immediately disappears. Again, the hypnotic effect is directly related to hormones, but the result is short-lived.
Important. After certain procedures at home, have you noticed a sharp change in eye color? Contact an ophthalmologist immediately! Meditation is a long-term procedure, one day the iris will not change. As for drops and infusions of medicinal herbs, they change shade to a slight extent.
In other cases, a dramatic change indicates an infection of the eyeballs, which can adversely affect your health. Come to the understanding that it is extremely difficult to change brown eyes for blue ones, you need to work on yourself for a long time.
Tired of the monotony and want to change your appearance, starting with the color of your eyes? Purchase drops at the pharmacy, after consulting with your doctor. Brew herbs and drink them daily. Does not help? Choose the right lenses and wear them whenever you want, but be sure to take them off at night. Engage in meditation, visualize all the processes in the body. Take care of yourself and stay healthy!
