5 Flattering Eyeshadow Shades for the Blue-Eyed Girl

November 15, 2012

Blue eyes are beautiful. I spent a long time wishing my ‘boring’ dark blue eyes were a vivid green or a mysterious brown. But I’ve recently come to realize the beauty of what I’ve got. Blue eyes are dazzling, sweet and clear. And when paired with the right eyeshadow shades, can become striking and vivid.

Here we will take a look at the different colors you blue eyed girls can use to make your eyes really pop!

• It may not be a blue-eyed girls first instinct to reach for the blue eyeshadow, but when you use an opposite shade to that of your eyes (light blue eyes – dark blue shadow, dark blue eyes – light blue shadow) the blues really begin to compliment each other! Use it on the upper and lower lids to really frame your peepers!
• Browns are great shades to use for everyday looks. The neutral tones mean people are drawn the flash of color that is your iris, rather than focusing on the makeup.
• A smokey black eye look will highlight any eye color, but in particular blue. Any color placed alongside black will immediately brighten in comparison. Use heavy black shadow right around the eye to get your eyes sparkling!
• To pick out the lighter tones in your eyes use a grey shadow. Stormy greys are the most effective, or try a lighter shade to highlight your lower lash line or eyelid crease.
• Finally, a great shade for an evening look is bronze or copper. These metallic shades really compliment blue eyes without overwhelming them. Perfect for statement makeup without distracting from your natural beauty!
