Eyes – They are the first things we look at in another person. We have all heard the cliched expression that “eyes are the window to the soul,” but now it looks like there’s some real science to back up the expressions. Scientists at the Orebro University in Sweden found that our personality traits could be linked to our eye colours.

Take a look into a person’s eyes and you can gaze deep into their feelings, emotions and mood. We’ve all seen various personality tests that tell us a little about our personality, but our eyes are an actual physical part of us and can tell us even more. “The eye is so closely linked neurologically to the brain that you might call it the only part of our brain you can see from the outside,” says Dr Antony Fallone of Edinburgh University. “It seems to hold vital clues to our brain function. Therefore, it plays an important role in determining your personality.”

There are many different eye colours, some of the most common are – blue eyes, green eyes, hazel eyes and brown eyes. Find out what your eye colour says about you!

Hazel Eyes

Hazel is an uncommon shade for eyes – a beautiful mixture of brown and green and this eye colour looks breathtakingly good.
