Red Hair
Red hair isn’t a common Indian feature but in case you have a hint of red in your hair color or if you’ve got your strands painted in red then any shade of green will score 100 at the glam game. Red hair and green eyes are like a match made in heaven; a bold match of electric contrast that makes your look stand out. Throw in on a few darker-toned lenses like brown, or blue if your red color is slightly off or is light in appearance.

Enhancement tints like caramel brown, midnight black or envy green can deepen your natural eye color.
