Where brown, gold, and green eyeshadow shades bring out hazel eyes' undertones the best, the closest you can get to eye perfection is a more specific shade that combines two of them: a green-gold shade (via Moody Skincare). This shade, whether sparkly or matte, brings out every possible hue that hazel eyes can take on, so it's reliable when you don't know what your eyes may look like throughout the day,
However, Moody Skincare also recommends people with hazel eyes wear mauve, burgundy, navy, and deep plum. These shade options range from light to dark, and all work well with the greener and the browner sides of hazel eyes. Pink shadows generally work very well with hazel eyes, too — they brighten them up without overpowering them because hazel eyes are earthy and hold their own — and this extends to deeper colors as pink becomes more red and purple. Here, mauve and burgundy can add a splash of excitement to a neutral eye or stand on their own.
If you want to get even more creative, Charlotte Tilbury notes that silver can pop well on hazel eyes as well. Silver works well when paired with other earthy colors, including the golds, browns, and greens that traditionally work well on these eyes. Silver should be used as an accent color rather than the primary shadow, but it should remain in your arsenal nonetheless.
Ultimately, earth tones are the best route for someone with hazel eyes to take, and from there, they can build their own fairy land on their eyes.
