The right makeup
should enhance the natural blue of your eyes, not overpower or deter from the
color. Whether you are headed to work or a special night out, follow these
simple makeup tips for blue eyes.
Pick the right eyeshadow
For the office,
stick with eyeshadow 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 a wonderful option for evening. For a
special night out, blue-eyed women also can try metallics (both silver and gold
work well), turquoise and icy pink.
Go for the smoky look
For evening,
dark blue mascara looks fabulous on blue eyes, especially when paired with
smudged charcoal eyeliner. Try smoky eye makeup using charcoal gray or purple
shadow.
"For blue
eyes, choose dark blue (the dark blue tones can help to bring out the natural
blue tones in your eyes), gray, silver, violet or lavender," says SheKnows
beauty expert Nina Sutton. "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," she says.
Wing it!
Cat-eye or
winged eyeliner looks awesome with blue eyes. Winged liner puts all the focus
on your baby blues, and looks terrific in any shade — from black to
turquoise and violet to orange... yes, orange liner. 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
gorgeous 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 peepers. For your cheeks,
add a light sweep of blush in a very natural hue.
