A beautiful makeup look is incomplete without bright, emphasized eyes, yet eyeshadow application is often the most intimidating step in the process. The secret? Highlighting your eye color. We found nine of the best eyeshadow palettes and single shadows for every eye color and level of expertise, because let’s face it, most days we don’t have time to play with tons of colors, and we all need a go-to routine. Make your eyes POP with these palettes!
BLUE & GREY EYES
The key to making blue or grey eyes stand out is opting for opposing shades. Hues of brown, taupe, orange and red are great for everyday while pinks, berry-colored tones and neutral champagne colors will draw attention to the eyes for a night out or elegant evening. Place this ColourPop single shadow in the middle of your lid for a splash of flattering shine.

BROWN EYES
On the other hand, brown eyes sparkle most when paired with purples, deep pinks, dark blues and cool brown shades. Mossy greens and neutral grey tones also work to make brown eyes shine. We love the look of a pop of deep green with a bit of shine. This Anastasia Beverly Hills single shadow would look incredible swept along the lower lash line or packed in the outer corner of the lid.

GREEN & HAZEL EYES
For those with green or hazel eyes, pale pinks and purples, warm salmon tones, orange hues and chocolatey browns will put all the focus on your shining eyes. A touch of light champagne sparkle looks stunning on green eyes, too, or turn the look up a bit with the Kat Von D rusty copper-colored shadow shown below.
