To show your eyes off for prom, use these eye shadows to brighten your eyes:

Blue eyes:  For blue eyes, choose dark blue (the dark blue tones can help to bring out the natural blue tones in your eyes), gray, silver, violet or lavender as well as intense winged eyeliner.
Brown eyesBrown eyes can try green, violet or bronze colored eye shadows.  Experiment by pairing neutral shadow with metallic eyeliner in copper or bronze for evening.
Green/Hazel eyes:  For green eyes, choose color tones such as dark green, lavender, purple, plum or lilac. Gold and copper are great for highlighting green eyes. For eyeliner, it is best to avoid black and to choose browns or gray, which are much softer and not so harsh. A general rule of thumb for green eyes is to choose warm shades vs. cooler shades. Choose mascara in a brown tone as well so the face does not look harsh or overpowered.
