Makeup For Blue Eyes

PICK THE RIGHT EYESHADOW stick with eyeshadows in brown, rose, terracotta and neutral shades. Embrace the idea of purple eyeshadow to really accentuate the color of your eyes. Lavender works for daytime, while deep plum is great for evening. For a night out, for people with blue eyes metallics (silver and gold), turquoise and icy pink also work well.

GO FOR THE SMOKEY EYES For evening, dark blue mascara looks amazing on blue eyes, especially when paired with smudged charcoal eyeliner. Try smoky eye makeup using charcoal gray or purple shadow. (the dark blue tones can help to bring out the natural blue tones in your eyes) also gray, silver, violet or lavender also work For night time, blue combined with black is a great look. For eyeliner or mascara, try navy instead of black for a dramatic, yet less intense look.

WING IT! Cat-eye or winged eyeliner looks amazing with blue eyes. Winged liner puts all the focus on your baby blues, and looks great in any shade — from black to turquoise and violet. A subtle, barely-winged look will work for everyday wear. But for special occasions, get dramatic with a thicker, more exaggerated line.

TONE DOWN YOUR LIPS Emphasize your blue eyes, whether they are pale blue or deep sapphire, by toning down your lip color. Pick a matte lipstick in a peachy brown shade or a pale pink. Bright or dark lip color will take the focus off your eyes. For your cheeks, add a light sweep of blush in a very natural hue. This will keep the focus on your eyes rather than your lips or face makeup.
