    Hazel eyes usually contain a mixture of brown, gold, and green pigments but can include small flecks of blue as well. From a distance, they often look light brown or green and they appear to change color in different lighting.

    Rich neutrals such as chocolate brown or charcoal provide the perfect backdrop for hazel eyes. Avoid wearing saturated tones like bright red or blue as they will overwhelm your eyes and make them look flat.

    Brown is one of the best colors for hazel eyes because it provides contrast to all the pigments in the eyes. Gray works similarly but will emphasize the cooler tones like blue and green.

    Stick to soft, neutral shades so you don’t overwhelm your eye colors. Hazel eyes contain multiple different pigments, so your makeup colors will emphasize a particular pigment. However, bold colors can also overwhelm them. Try using subtle colors like gray and brown to bring out the soft tones in your eyes.

    I also have hazel eyes and I read that hazel eyes change colors when the person's emotions are strong.
  • Question
    What makeup do I use for brown eyes that go from hazel to green? What hair color would fit best with my eye color?
    Community Answer
    Hazel eyes look best with natural makeup. For eye shadow, varying shades of brown bring out the eyes. For a dressier look, try gold, pale green or dark purple. Avoid hair colors that are too extreme. Light browns and auburn, or even dirty blond would complement hazel eyes.

    What should I wear to a party? I can't choose which color to make my eyes pop but match my medium dark brown hair.

    Any color goes with with brown hair, but blues, pinks and bright oranges will probably pop more.

    I have always thought that I had light brown/amber eyes, but at age 64, I realize my eyes are hazel! What happened?

    Sometimes over age, your eyes change color! When I was a child I had blue eyes but I’m easing into hazel eyes, with a mix of blue, green and a bit of brown. Your eyes can change suddenly or gradually as you age. They can quickly turn into a different color (like you) or fade into a similar shade.

    It's not a mix; it's genetics. If one of your parents has the dominant gene for hazel eyes, then your eyes will be hazel.
