Eyeliner
A dark brown eyeliner would be the best for hazel eye makeup, though other shades like green would also work just fine. However, make sure that the eye liner color that you use is not an extreme contrast with the eye shadow that you are using for hazel eye makeup. Black or gray are also the other good options for an eyeliner to use as the make up for hazel eyes. Green eyeliner can be used in case you want a dramatized or smoky eye look for your hazel eyes.

Mascara
A dull brown mascara and a black gold mascara, apart from the black and transparent mascara are the best options for hazel eye makeup. Please, do no try using a green or a blue mascara because it will only end up over dramatizing the eyes, thus ruining the eye makeup. Besides, no shade of blue really works well with hazel eyes. Sticking to shades of brown will be the wise thing to do.
