A complimentary shade for blue and hazel coloured eyes especially, pink is a fresh way to liven up your beauty routine. Soft shimmery pinks are a great hint of a warm tone for daytime, while a glossy bold fuchsia colour will pop beautifully against darker skin tones. Whichever hue is for you, make sure you either trace along lashes or sweep across lids to the socket line only. Avoid going higher as it’ll look a little bit scary and always match it with natural brows and a nude lip for a soft, wearable finish.
