Thank you for this article! My eyes a lot like Olivia Wilde's but darker and with more yellow bits and I've never been able to find useful tips on finding the right eyeshadow. Most articles and products only focus on blue, green, brown and sometimes hazel eyes, leaving "inbetweeners" out so thank you for remembering us :) My tip for women with in-between eyes is to try shadows that combine the colours flattering the different shades in your eyes. My favourite eyeshadow is Shale from MAC, which is a plummy taupe so it flatters both blue and greenish tones in my eyes. It wasn't something I would have picked up based on typical magazine tips but a MAC artist recommended it a while ago and I've loved it ever since!

Navy liner for hazel eyes is something I never would have thought of - definitely need to try it - I usually just stick to tried and true purple liner. It will be nice to switch it up a bit!
