Eye color really does matter when it comes to blue:

BROWN: If you’re a brown-eyed girl, you’re lucky! You can pretty much rock any shade of blue. Three different makeup artists concurred. So go for anything from pastel to electric and you’ll be fine.

HAZEL/GREEN: “You want something with a tint of purple undertone to it,” Louise Zizzo, a MAC senior artist told us. “Since purple and green are complementary colors, it really helps the green pop.”

BLUE: Proceed with caution!
