Makeup with ochre eyeshadow

Ochre eyeshadow has bounced back as an indispensable trend in 2025. These earthy colours range from pale golden shades through to warm browns, conferring a versatility that can adapt to any occasion. Moreover, these shades are ideal to highlight our skin tone, giving more light and depth to our look. Let’s take a look at how best to use them!  

Ochre shades to enhance your skin colour

Choosing the right ochre shades is the key to natural-looking eye makeup that enhances your look. Warm, earthy colours have the advantage of drawing attention to our eyes but without going over the top, but each skin tone can benefit from specific colour nuances.

• Pale skin. Golden and mustard colour shades confer warmth and light, avoiding a sadder look to your eyes. For a more delicate effect, pale brown shades can be combined in the crease of your eye to give depth without losing smoothness.
• Medium skin. Intermediate shades of ochre and copper highlight the natural tone of your skin, creating a perfect balance between warmth and definition. These tones work very well for daytime looks, conferring an elegant, enhancing finish, and can be highlighted with some brown or copper eyeliner for nighttime looks.
• Dark skin. Darker ochres and terracotta colours create a sophisticated contrast that brings out an intense, attractive look to our eyes. Combining them with golden or coppery shades in the corner of our eye or under our eyebrows confers more light and avoids makeup looking overdone, achieving an effect that is both elegant and dramatic.

As you can see, ochre shades not only enhance our look, but they also confer harmony to our features, adapting to each skin colour and enhancing our natural beauty.

6. Mascara. Finish off with a generous layer of mascara for extra volume and a cleaner finish.
    

Daytime and nighttime looks with ochre eyeshadow 

There is a difference between daytime and nighttime makeup. The former aims for a more natural, fresher look, whereas the latter allows us to toy with intensity and contrasts. Ochre shades are perfect in both cases, since they easily adapt to any style and any time of the day.

• Daytime look. Choose a soft application of golden and pale ochre shades for a fresh, natural look.
• Nighttime look. Intensify your look with darker ochre shades and a well-defined line for a more dramatic effect.

Ochre shades adapt to looks for different times of day, ensuring that your makeup will be impeccable on any occasion.

Ideal complements: combining lipstick and blusher

A good finish to your makeup doesn’t end with your eyes: the right lipstick and blusher can enhance your look even more. In the case of ochre eyeshadow the key is to ensure chromatic harmony and enhance warmth without going over the top. We are going to tell you about the combinations that work best for a natural, bright, perfectly coordinated result. 

• Lipstick. Nude, terracotta or pale brown tones are the perfect complement for ochre eyeshadow.
