Women with warm, chocolate-colored eyes should keep their shadows in the brownish-gold family. "In general, you'll want to look for gold, peach, and light brown shades, but if you want to take it up a notch, try purple hues instead."

From light sandy tans to deep mahogany, this palette shows off the full shade spectrum of shades that complement brown eyes. Apply the grapey colors on the outer half of the eye to create dimension.

For a good, everyday color, look for a light tan with a hint of yellow. Be a good, brown-eyed Lazy Girl and pick a cream shadow, rather than powder. It doesn't require a primer, cutting back on your getting-ready time. Score!

Ahh, to be a blue-eyed babe. Ladies with sapphire irises should keep their, ahem, eyes open for gray-blue undertones, according to Perdis. "If you really want to play up the blue, try mauve shadows. It brings out the blue and will make you look irresistible."

Use two purple-based shades to create dimension against water-colored eyes. Perdis recommends liberally applying the lighter shade all-over the lid and up to the brow bone. Use the darker plum tint to create dimension where the eye socket is naturally deepest.

"Bronzes, coppers, and golds are really fabulous for hazel eyes. They add a sparkly sheen and keep people guessing what color your eyes really are," teases Perdis. Metallic colors will also help show-off any multi-colored flecks you might come by naturally.

Use this stick like you would an oversized liner, painting your entire lid or smudging near the lash line for a bit of sparkle next to your multi-toned irises. Bonus: A touch near the inner corner will help fake wide-awake eyes.
