Here, we’re sharing gorgeous natural makeup looks for every eye color, including eye makeup looks and lip color pairings that you’re sure to love. Keep reading for our favorite natural makeup ideas for blue eyes, green eyes, brown eyes, and hazel eyes.

NATURAL MAKEUP FOR BLUE EYES

If you’ve been blessed with beautiful blue eyes, we suggest keeping your daily natural makeup look simple. Think matte finishes and light pink undertones. For your eye makeup, try a matte pale pink or nude eye shadow, like the L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Monos Eyeshadow in Little Beige Dress, swiped lightly onto your entire upper eyelid. Then, apply your go-to black eyeliner and a few coats of black mascara. When doing your eyeliner, tightline to create an invisible eyeliner effect—we’re going for a natural look here, after all. Next, fill in your brows with an eyebrow gel that offers a natural-looking finish, like the L'Oréal Paris Unbelievabrow Longwear Waterproof Brow Gel. Pair this eye makeup look with a light pink blush and matte, rosy-toned lips.

NATURAL MAKEUP FOR GREEN EYES

Gorgeous, green-eyed girls should try an eye makeup look that incorporates varying shades of brown to bring out the natural earthy undertones in their eyes. Use a brown eyeliner pencil, like the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Last Waterproof, Up to 24HR Pencil Eyeliner in Brown, along your upper eyelid. Then, layer a medium taupe eyeshadow, such as the L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Monos Eyeshadow in Pain Au Chocolat, onto your lid and be sure to blend out at your crease. Next, use a nude eyeliner pencil to highlight the inner corners of both eyes and lightly trace along your bottom lash line. Finally, swipe a bit of clear lip gloss onto your pout and blend the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Longwear Highlighter Shaping Stick in Slay-In-Rose onto your upper cheekbones. Voila!

NATURAL MAKEUP FOR BROWN EYES

For a natural eye makeup look that accentuates your dark brown eyes, we’re going to lighten things up and create a subtle contrast. For your eye shadow, use a shimmery light amber shadow, like the L'Oréal Paris Infallible 24HR Eye Shadow in Amber Rush, and apply an even coating to your entire upper eyelid. Then, trace along both your upper and lower lash lines with a black eyeliner pencil. Since this look is natural, use a thin eyeshadow or eyeliner brush to gently smudge out the eyeliner along your bottom lash line, creating a soft brown smoky eye. Finish off your eye makeup look with your favorite black or brown mascara. To match the subtlety of this eye makeup look, pair it with a high-shine nude lipstick, like the L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Lipstick Shine Lipstick in Glossy Fawn. Last but not least, swipe on a light dusting of a dark peach blush, like the L'Oréal Paris Paradise Enchanted Fruit-Scented Blush Makeup in Bashful, and you’re all set!

NATURAL MAKEUP FOR HAZEL EYES

Hazel eyes are both rare and stunning, so we’d suggest you let their natural beauty shine with a soft makeup look. Try a two-toned eye shadow look using light and dark shades of pink from the L'Oréal Paris Paradise Enchanted Scented Eyeshadow Palette. Skip the eyeliner altogether and finish off your eye makeup look with a few swipes of a black mascara, such as the L'Oréal Paris Unlimited Lash Lifting and Lengthening Washable Mascara in Blackest Black. Keep everything else light; a few swipes of bronzer and a soft pink lip, like the L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Ultra Matte Highly Pigmented Nude Lipstick in Daring Blush, should do the trick. Before you head out the door, lightly fill in your brows and you’ll be good to go.
