Blue eyes bring to mind angels and beauty. Even if you have very plain features, your blue eyes will be your saving grace. So exploit the potential of your beautiful eyes by using the right makeup tips for blue eyes.
Different eye makeup works for different people. Naturally, what works best will largely depend on the color of your eyes. When you are looking for eye makeup tips, I would suggest that you look for tips for your eye color in particular rather than a generic guide. This is because the kind of makeup that looks good on, say, brown eyes may look dull or ugly on blue eyes. You want to make sure that your eyes do not look washed out either.
So let’s get down to the eye makeup tips that you need to really bring out the sparkle in your blue eyes.
A Few Makeup Tips for Blue Eyes
The secret is to use complementary colors, but not to drown your eyes in makeup. The colors that look best with blue eyes are tan, silver, gold, grey and icy pink. You can also try violet or shades of lavender. But always be careful with shades of purple or violet; ensure that the shades are not too dark otherwise it will look like someone punched you in the face and gave you a black eye.
Another great color for blue eyes is brown. Light and dark shades of brown will add mystery to those already dazzling eyes. If you have small eyes and you want to make them appear bigger, choose a darker hue of brown like chocolate. A combination of light and dark hues will really bring out the beauty of your blue.
If your eyes are an aquamarine blue and have a hint of green in them, then you will look great in a light green or turquoise eye shadow. Avoid using a shade of blue that matches your eye color. It will prevent your eyes from being the showcase of your face.
But this does not mean you should rule out blue altogether. It simply means that you should try several shades of blue before you find one that really highlights the depth of your eyes.
But if you are not the experimenting kind or simply do not have the time to try out different color palettes, here is a hot tip for you. The basic rule of eye makeup is to use a color that is the opposite of your eye. How do you know what this color is? If you have ever seen a color wheel, then the color that are opposite to each other not only contrast but also complement each other.
Thus, the complementary color of blue is orange. And the shades of orange that work great as eye shadow for blue eyes are copper or bronze. You cannot go wrong with these colors.
So, follow these basic makeup tips for blue eyes and you will accentuate your god-given beauty.
