When it comes to make-up, a lot of the time it can be pretty easy to get stuck in a rut and go for the same routine every day. If you’re in a rush to get ready, experimenting with different eye make-up can often be a no go, but here at HQhair we’ve devised a simple guide to showing you how to pick the perfect eyeshadow for brown eyes. Later this month, we’ll have guides for blue and green eyes too, so stay tuned!
If you were blessed with brown or hazel eyes, you’re in luck! You have a huge variety of colours to choose from to compliment your eyes. Neutral shades like salmon, bronze and gold work to really accentuate beautiful brown eyes as they are all in the same family as your eye colour. Below are our top 5 must have eyeshadow for brown eyes.
