Makeup Colors for Blue Eyes

Makeup colors for blue eyes is essential if you want your makeup to look good! Knowing which shades look better on you, allows you to make more informative decisions about the makeup you buy. Blue eyes after all, are tranquillizing and gorgeous to behold. Your makeup should enhance your beautiful blue eyes, not hide them!

Each person with blue eyes has their own eye color shade. Color shades of blue can range from ice or baby blue to dark, deep blue. Each shade therefore, has it’s own color pallette. The trick is to learn which colors look better on your own blue eyes and start with those. Over time, you can easily branch out with the colors that you are personally drawn to.

Women have an uncanny ability to choose colors that are complimentary to their complexion and eye color. Of course, just as women choose the right colors, many choose the wrong makeup colors for blue eyes. Just because colors are suggested doesn't mean those colors are suitable for you to wear. We're all unique, after all! If you're not sure which makeup colors look best on you, you'll need to know which season you are!

As a general rule, women with blue eyes should look for eye makeup in gray, violet, taupe, purple, and deep blue. Many women use a dark shade of blue makeup for blue eyes. Blue colors accentuate the more natural blue tones in your eyes, giving you a brighter and more vibrant look. Black mixed with blue give a dramatic effect, which is perfect for nighttime! Violets and lavenders also work well for women who have baby blues eyes and blonde hair. Purple is a mix of red and blue, so it gives blue colors a natural accent which blends perfectly.

Makeup colors for blue eyes should start with a base coat of a neutral or matte color over the entire eyelid. This should start your make up application.

Base colors to begin with range from beige to champagne shades. Pink shades work well if you have a dark complexion, as do many of the brighter shades. This is not necessarily so for women with lighter complexions though. Frosted and jeweled shades often have a harsh effect on lighter skin and looks heavy. Women with lighter complexions should stick to pastels.

Contouring involves the crease of the eye. The crease of your eye is just below the brow bone but above the lid, where the crease is found. Use a darker or deeper contrasting shade and blend it into the base color by smudging it a bit. This creates a sultry effect that gives depth to your eyes.

A light, shimmery color is used on the brow bone to highlight your eyes. A white or champagne color is always a good choice. If you're younger you can use glitter or shimmer. If you're over 40, use shimmer only.

Eye liners give depth to your eyes. Pencil eyeliner can be applied on the rim inside each eyelid, or just above and below the lash lines. To make your eyes pop even more, apply a darker liquid eyeliner shade above and below lash lines, and a white pencil eyeliner in the rims of your eyes. This trick pulls out the whites in your eyes, which makes you look more alert and brightens up your eyes.

Mascara is used to accentuate blue eyes. Most women, regardless of eye color, use a black mascara. Black brings out and showcases the color of your eyes. Use either a heavy or light application, depending on your plans. The time of day should help you choose however. Use more subtle applications during the day, and heavier application for evening. Of course, blue mascaras work extremely well for blue eyes. They can really make your eyes stand out and pop!

Look for top eyeliner choices and mascara must have's.

When you choose makeup colors for blue eyes, you can rely on many makeup manufacturers who have developed color collections for accentuating any eye color. Look for them and use them! Most come as a trio of colors. Rule of thumb is to use the lighter matte colors as your base color, darker colors as your contouring color, and highlight your eyes with the lightest colors.

You can expand your selection by also choosing silver, taupe, or other purples, like lavender or violet. Blue eyes are the one eye color that silver works well with, so use it!

Bright blue is also a good choice for blue eyes. Blue’s make your eyes pop and really stand out! When you accentuate them by using black eyeliner and mascara, you set the stage for deep tranquility. Your eyes will summon depth and give character to your face and complexion.

You might also try a turquoise shade, and if your eyes have some green in them. Mint green is also a great choice. Bright pinks and fuschia colors also work well.

Getting the right makeup colors for blue eyes isn't rocket science. You may make a few mistakes along the way. Don't despair. If you buy the wrong shade, give your not-so-good makeup for blue eyes to a friend and try again. Of course, it's inexpensive to buy all your makeup from e.l.f. Cosmetics, where makeup is always $1! That way, color mistakes won't hurt as much in the pocketbook!
