Angie’s Eyeshadow Tips…. For blue eyes: Since orange is the opposite color of blue, anything with orange in it will make blue eyes stand out more. "It doesn't have to be a blazing sun color — it just has to have orangey undertones like gold, apricot, or peach," says Angie. For green eyes: Red is the opposite color of green, which isn't to say you should apply a cherry red-colored eye shadow to your lids. But you'll help your green eyes pop if you use colors that have red undertones, like deep plums and wine. For brown eyes : Brown is a neutral color, so any color will work well, says Angie. "But the most standout colors are blue and purple." For Grey Eyes: Colors include black, purples, reds, oranges, yellows, gold's, brown shades, pinks and if used correctly, greens.
