Makeup Ideas for Blue Eyes

Blue eyes are simply gorgeous. Women with this eye color are sometimes not quite sure about the kind of eye makeup that would look good on them. The dilemma increases with the vast array of eye makeup products on the market. What is even more tedious is learning the perfect eyeshadow blending techniques or finding the time to practice them. Nevertheless, we have curated a list of the best eye makeup looks to make those blue eyes pop. We won’t disappoint you, so keep scrolling.

A sheer bronze palette

Bronze eyeshadows with a hint of orange in them work wonders for blue eyes. Orange is the opposite of blue on the color wheel, so it brings out a striking contrast. Such colors when paired together are complementary and thus become even more vibrant. For a daytime look, use a brown shade of bronze and smudge it gently across the crease of the eye. Use a wet eyeshadow brush for a more intense look.

Beautiful accents of copper

Copper is not a color many women are comfortable with, due to its intensity and brightness. However, its golden-and-peach hue is very flattering on blue eyes. Use it in subtle amounts, with just a gentle smudge on the upper eyelash area and combined with a beautiful metallic eyeliner. If you are okay with a more dramatic look, you can swipe generous amounts across the eyelids and dust the creases with a matte bronzer.

Eyeliners in hues of blue

Using a darker shade of blue as an eyeliner gives a majestic yet sensual appeal to the eyes. Stay away from black eyeliner as it can be harsh and overpowering on the eyes. A deep shade of navy blue gives a subtle contrast to sky blue eyes. Use the eyeliner on both your upper and lower lash lines.

Gray-blue to the rescue

If you are a fan of the minimalist look, then this might just be the perfect shade for your blue eyes. From a dark gray eyeshadow to a more metallic shade of gray, just about any color looks good on blue eyes. You can also try a gray-based blue eyeshadow for a softer look. Try dabbing on some cream-based gray eyeshadow and contrasting it with a deep black mascara for effect. You can also top it up with kohl or an eyeliner. Stick to blue shades of gray as much as possible as pure gray in a lighter tone can make the eyes look washed out.

The smoky eye look

This one is perhaps the most popular eye makeup trend and goes well with almost any eye color. Light blue eyes need a softer touch of the smoky eye look. The key to getting smoky eyes right is to master the blending technique. Good blending gives the eyes a very classy and professional look. Any look which veers too much towards the darker side can come across as overwhelming and make the eyes look tacky. Skip charcoal and black and go for softer metallic colors.

Soft orange

Pure orange eyeshadow looks fabulous on blue eyes, if worn correctly. If you get the look right, you will be glad that you tried it. Orange is different from peach as it is brighter and can really make blue eyes pop. You can use a softer eyeshadow brush to apply orange, especially if it is a dark shade lest it looks overpowering.

Modern mauve

Mauve is one of the trendiest colors on the market right now. Its pastel hues can be used in liberal amounts without overwhelming the eyes. Start with a light mauve eyeshadow on the entire lid and blend in a darker shade of the color closer to the lash line. For a more prominent look, use a wet eyeshadow brush as it picks up more color.

A splash of green

Green eyeshadow or eyeliner can be extremely mesmerizing. Paired with an emerald green dress, the color can make any woman dazzle. For an evening look, try an emerald green eyeshadow in a winged shape on the corner of the eyes. Getting the perfect wings will require some practice beforehand.

Pink is in

A peachy shade of pink is perfect for a summer day, especially when you are brunching with your friends. The best part about pink is that it can be worn in almost any season and during any time of the day. A darker, metallic shade looks perfect for the night while a lighter shade gives the skin a beautiful warmth during the day. Blend the pink eyeshadow well on the eyelids and crease and don’t forget to put on the highlighter.

Plum eyeshadow

Plum and purple are bold colors, so must be worn with care. However, they can make blue eyes look fetching and magnetic. Find a plum eyeshadow with a creamy base and a soft base so that it blends in well with the skin and makes the skin look dewy. Finish off with some mascara and a thick eyeliner.

Champagne eyes

Champagne-colored eyeshadow looks effortlessly classy on blue eyes and fair skin. For best results, apply liberal amounts of the color. It is a standout eyeshadow shade that looks stunning on blue eyes, especially when you want to keep it subtle and simple. For optimal results, apply the eyeshadow on the center of the eyelid.
