    How do I make both colors of my eyes pop?
    Community Answer
    To bring out the brown in your eyes, break out the blue. Try lighter shades of blue, such as cornflower or pale cyan, for a nice contrast with pale shades of brown. Intense blues, like turquoise or cerulean, will carry the intensity of deep brown eyes. To bring out the green in your hazel eyes, add some purple and pink shades. They will deepen the contrast of the green and brown.

    What is the best hair color for hazel eyes ?
    Community Answer
    Rich brown and red hair colors can create a bold look if you have hazel eyes. Warm chestnut brown and neutral chocolate brown are great for making the green and gold in hazel eyes pop. If you have a lighter complexion, don't go darker than chocolate brown.
