“Use the color wheel to see what really brings out your eye color. Blue eyes are opposite to orange – so anything in those tones will make your eyes pop. For green eyes it’s purple tones, and for brown try shades of blue. We are still having a ’90s revival moment: think matte brown on lips and eyes teamed with skin that glows. Visible lip liner continues to dominate.”
