Do you want to bring out your beautiful blue eyes? Blue eyes go naturally with a number of colors and styles, but they can also look dull or washed out if you don't know how to show them off. To bring out your blue eyes, bet on contrasts.
Steps
Step 1. Focus on contrasts
This is also the case with other colors, but blue eyes stand out particularly well when contrasted with a darker color. Avoid using makeup that is the same color as your eyes. It will make the color of your eyes tasteless and their color will not stand out as well. Instead, choose black, brown or navy blue makeup for your eyes. You can also apply silver, gold or red hues for a contrasting touch. Another way to do this is to even out your skin tone with foundation and concealer to highlight your eyes.
Step 2. Apply concealer
Conceal your dark circles with concealer. By illuminating the skin around your eyes, the concealer will highlight their blue color.
Step 3. Apply plain eye shadow
A plain eye shadow creates the opposite effect to a smoky eye. Just apply a contrasting color on the eyelid to bring out the eye color. The eyeshadows used are generally shadows, that is to say, they are transparent colors that allow you to guess the color of the skin. To make up blue eyes, you can choose eye shadow in the following shades.
- Lavender blue
- Silver
- Ocher or brown
- Golden
- Purple
Step 4. Wear navy blue mascara
Choose a navy blue mascara rather than black, which will discreetly draw the eye to your eyes thanks to the very small amount of blue pigments it contains.
Step 5. Make your eye shadow sparkle
Some glitter will highlight your blue eyes, but it's not recommended in your daily makeup routine. For a special event, apply a shimmering shadow or add some glitter to your eye shadow for a bewitching look.
Step 6. Wear eyeliner
Applied correctly, eyeliner applied flush with the lashes will create an interesting contrast with your blue eyes. A stroke on the upper eyelid is usually enough to emphasize the look, but a more pronounced effect can also be created by redrawing the entire eye contour.
Step 7. Avoid blue makeup on your eyelashes in general
A blue eye shadow will compete with your eyes, which will be less noticeable. Some professional makeup artists, however, associate shades of blue with blue eyes, making sure that the shades are different enough. It is for example possible to apply a navy blue eyeshadow if you have light blue eyes.
Step 8. Cut your hair to frame your eyes
Bangs or locks that frame the look will draw attention to your beautiful blue eyes regardless of your makeup and dress.
Step 9. Wear blue
Whether it's an item of clothing or an accessory, a blue element in your attire will make your eyes pop. The two blues will each act to beautify the other. The result will be spectacular.
