Works Best On: Fair skin tones, and while any eye color can rock the shade, green, blue and hazel eyes look particularly dreamy.
If you've been filling your Pinterest boards with lilac locks, but fear you will come out looking like a grape -- think again. This hair color is a gorgeous way to flair up any dull 'do, and fair skin tones rock this look particularly well according to Godard. "Violets are generally cooler, so they work best on balanced skin tones," Godard says. "Meaning, neither pink nor cool, or yellow and warm undertones. This is because violet is opposite those tones on the color wheel. So, the color and neutral complexion combo will really make the eye colors pop."
Try: While we recommend hitting a salon for this particular shade, you can try L'oréal Paris Feria Smokey Pastels, $9.99, in Lavender, for at-home hair color.

How hauntingly beautiful is this colorful hair? She perfectly plays off the complementary colors with her warm, bright violet hair and gorgeous green eyes.
Her gorgeous hair color not only makes a serious statement, but the lighter purple strands make her blue eyes pop (even without her gorgeous makeup).

Works Best On: Neutral skin tones that don't have too many red or pink undertones. Any eye color can rock these hues, but blues are especially flattering.
"Ladies who already have a lot of pink undertones in their complexion should avoid these hues because they're already close in color," Godard says. In other words, fire-engine reds and subtle pinks will bring out ruddiness if you already have a pink complexion.
These colors are a definite must for blue-eyed babes, since it will make their peepers pop. "Reds and pinks enhance blue eyes because orange [a similar shade] is opposite blue on the color wheel," Godard explains.
Try: For a brilliant red, try Ion Color Brilliance Semi-Permanent Brights Hair Color, $5.29, in Red. For a pretty, vibrant pink, try in Magenta. (Please note: You will also need a developer with this product.)
