Makeup for blue and blue eyes There is nothing complicated in choosing makeup for blue eyes: many shades suit blue-eyed and blue-eyed girls, and you can experiment endlessly with both daytime and evening makeup.

A favorite technique of makeup artists is playing with contrasts, or using complementary colors in makeup for blue eyes. The cold color of the iris is advantageously set off by warm golden, peach-beige, cream, and bronze shades. “To highlight blue eyes, it is best to choose eyeshadow in complementary shades. Ocher, copper and terra will look the most contrasting,” advises the famous British makeup artist Gemma Kidd. For the sophisticated daytime makeup Gemma advises blue-eyed girls to use peach shades. “Warm shades of shadows always make blue eyes brighter,” he explains, using the example of his stellar blue-eyed clients Adriana Lima and Doutzen Kroes Gemma's New York colleague, makeup artist Meredith Baraf. The classic daytime makeup for blue eyes is warm neutral beige shades. They can also be used for the evening, but choose more saturated colors, pearlescent or fashionable “metallic” textures.

Jennifer Aniston prefers neutral makeup. The beige and peach color scheme is her favorite. And black mascara and light eyeliner with a dark pencil at the lash line immediately make her eyes more expressive.

But you should be very careful with eye shadows: in addition to the fact that this is outdated, blue eyes are often “lost” against the background of blue shadows, and the look becomes less expressive. Therefore, be sure to line your eyes at the eyelashes more dark color or try using shades that are close to your eye color, but brighter and more saturated: turquoise, cobalt, aqua, indigo, blue-lilac...

Dark blue eye shadow or eyeliner - simple, effective and also very fashionable option for evening makeup, they will make blue or blue eyes deep and expressive. Lilac, violet shadows or wings on the eyelids will give blue eyes a greenish tint, and greenish ones will give a mysterious amethyst tint. Dark blue, chocolate, dark green or purple colors will become good decision and for smoky eyes for blue eyes: black smokey eyes can look too deliberate, and even rude, especially if you - tender blonde. As for the fashionable colored mascara this season, blue-eyed girls are perfectly suited to all its shades, including bright blue. The main thing is not to forget about the rule of complementary colors. Try pairing blue mascara with a contrasting eyeliner or shadow, such as pearlescent copper or gold, to instantly make your eyes look bigger and brighter.

Readers often write to me with questions about how best to do makeup for blue eyes - apparently they like my selfies. I will be happy to tell you about how I paint my blue eyes, give some tips and tell you how to choose cosmetics in the right tones.

As you all have already noticed, I have light eyes, light skin and naturally light hair (which I often dye, but this does not change the essence). IN real life Blue-eyed girls with dark skin are not often found, but those with light eyes and dark hair Not unusual.

Dark hair in combination with fair skin is very beautiful, but there is a risk of making you look too pale and expressionless, so brunettes and brown-haired women would also do well to tint their eyes.

Pros of blue eyes:

  • Almost all makeup colors are suitable;
  • easy to combine different styles and technology;
  • for everyday makeup, gray or chocolate mascara is enough;
  • rarely found;
  • You can use makeup to achieve a lilac or blue tint.

However, blue eyes also have their own disadvantages. I can’t call these shortcomings, but, in my opinion, such nuances need to be taken into account. So, the cons:

  • light eyes are lost on light skin;
  • dilated vessels are very noticeable;
  • any redness makes the girl look like a rabbit - he also has red, inflamed eyes;
  • any makeup flaws are very noticeable.

I would like to say especially about the latter. It is clear that we are all human, and we can make mistakes - somewhere our hand trembled, somewhere we overdid it with the arrows, somewhere our mascara fell off a little. And it is clear that every girl tries to avoid such situations, and in case of any shortcomings, correct them immediately.

But the fact remains a fact - where dark eyes, dark skin and burning eyelashes hide slightly smeared eyeliner, and the blue-eyed girl looks tear-stained. This means that cosmetics must be of the highest quality possible - otherwise you will not look very well-groomed.

How to turn minuses into pluses? In fact, there is nothing complicated about it. For light eyes to look bright, they need a decent frame. Believe me, permanent coloring of eyelashes and eyebrows does an excellent job of this - your face looks shaped and fresh.

Next, dilated vessels. In everyday life, a cooling gel and a cool mask will save you, and if you urgently need to put yourself in order, you can use moisturizing drops or briefly immerse your face in cold water and take a good nap. The blood vessels will return to normal, the look will become more expressive.

Redness can appear either from fatigue and dryness - any refreshing spray or thermal water will do (be careful, it can dry out the skin), or from allergies - in this situation it is better to treat the skin.

To make makeup flaws less noticeable (for example, when the mirror is small, or you need to put on makeup in the car, or when you simply don’t have time to apply makeup), choose something light and smoky. It is very difficult to ruin makeup, which consists of two light shades of eyeshadow and is applied with your fingers.

On every day

I am sure that daytime makeup for blue eyes should not be too rich and heavy. However, there are some rules to keep in mind:

  • shadows with mother-of-pearl or shimmer - evening;
  • too dark shadows should either be a constant in the image, or be used only when you are doing evening makeup for blue eyes;
  • All kinds of gold and silver eyeliners should be used carefully.

What do we have in the bottom line? Products that can be used for blue eye makeup should not be shiny or shimmery (you don’t want to remind Christmas tree?), you shouldn't do too much dark makeup and you can’t use many metallic shades. But you can:

  • experiment with matte and satin shadows;
  • use baked eyeshadows of different shades;
  • wear bright colored eyeliner and mascara;
  • do cool nude makeup;
  • love natural tones with all your heart.

Natural makeup for blondes with blue eyes is done either in gray tones or in shades of brown. It depends on the color type - if your appearance is dominated by cold shades, then it is better to use cold cosmetics, if warm, then warm tones.

  • First you need to prepare the skin - clean it, lubricate it with moisturizer or nourishing cream, remove excess and apply makeup base;

Going out or on holiday

My favorite types of makeup for special occasions are Arabic and smokey. I’ll talk about the last one first, since it’s the easiest to do (in my opinion).

What is smokey eye makeup for blue eyes? This is smoky makeup in rather dark tones. I don’t understand why girls now smear light pink eye shadow over their eyes and call it smokey - no, proper smokey is done only with dark shadows! It doesn’t have to be black - chocolate brown, purple, blue, etc. look very beautiful, and my favorite shade for a smokey eye is gray-pink.

How to do smokey eye makeup for blue eyes 2017

First you need to choose two or three shades of eyeshadow that blend well and give beautiful gradient and fit your face.

What shadows are suitable for smokey eyes? Finely dispersed, easily rubbed, durable. You will also need a dark eyeliner (felt-tip pen, pencil or liquid) and mascara. Let's get started!

Makeup for blue eyes according to hair and skin color

When choosing an eyeshadow shade, consider your skin tone first. Perfect Makeup for blue eyes of a fair-skinned woman, as a rule, includes silver shadows or cosmetics with a cool shine, which allows you to emphasize the expressiveness of the look. But in this case it is better to avoid yellowish, pale green and pale blue tones: they can give light skin a sickly appearance. For girls with dark skin, these shades are much more suitable. They can also use golden or bronze shadows to highlight the color of the iris.

Don't be afraid to experiment. Try using different tones, and over time you will be able to find the one that suits your type of appearance

When doing makeup for a brunette with blue eyes, you can use different tones of brown, as well as copper and bronze. To blondes from such color range It's better to refuse. If you need to use makeup to enlarge a brunette's eyes, it is better to choose light shadows with glitter - turquoise, lavender, silver.

Girls with blond hair are better off giving preference to lilac, violet, peach, and cream tones. An interesting option is smoky makeup using shadows in light and dark purple tones. Makeup should be complemented with plum, gray, bronze eyeliner and brown mascara.

Red-haired beauties should pay attention to bronze, gray, turquoise, emerald shadows and wine or chocolate colored eyeliner. Brown-haired women will suit various shades of brown, emerald and burgundy.

How to highlight the beauty of blue eyes

If you want to focus on your eyes, choose a lipstick in a natural, soft shade so that it does not draw attention to itself. Then choose the makeup options that suit you. You can apply a little blush, which you use to highlight your cheekbones, near the outer corners of your eyes. Another interesting option– use of dark eyeliner.

The purity and beauty of blue eyes is sung by many poets. They are compared to the ocean and diamonds. Shadows for blue eyes are a cut of the beautiful features given to us by nature.

What cosmetics are suitable?

Blue-eyed girls are extremely lucky, because the color of their eyes is already the brightest accent in the image. It is important to complement this emphasis with contrasting shades in relation to the iris. However, often following stereotypes, we choose blue shadows for blue eyes, and most often we are mistaken. Most shades of blue obscure the beauty of the eyes, making makeup unnatural and sometimes vulgar. The blue palette for blue-eyed ladies can only be revealed in the professional hands of makeup artists, who will be able to select the ideal tone with extraordinary precision. If you plan to do makeup at home, then it is wiser to choose universal and uncomplicated options. So, For a stylish makeup look, you should stock up on three shades of eyeshadow. The first color will cover the main part of the moving eyelid, the second will set accents, and the third will gently cover the area under the eyebrows. The eyes are also highlighted with black strokes, in the form of eyeliner and mascara.

Shadows should be organic depending on the setting. For example, an everyday look is perfectly complemented by muted pink, brown, plum and beige shades. It is best if they are matte and very discreet. Green shadows should not be neglected for your daily look, because they play perfectly in contrast with the iris of the eye. Lilac shadows with light pearlescent, complemented by a light tone for the inner corner of the eye - another option that reveals the beauty of delicate, almost transparent blue eyes.

Evening make-up allows you to apply more rich and bright tones. In this case, you should remember the basic rule that the color saturation should not cover the brightness of the eye color. For those with light blue eyes, peach, purple, and golden tones will help emphasize their individuality. Girls with blue eyes would be appropriate turquoise tones, as well as orange shades in tandem with yellow shadows. Interesting solution In such a sunny makeup, highlight the lower eyelid with a soft blue pencil. A universal tone option for bright and transparent blue eyes is golden eyeshadow. Light-eyed ladies can complement them with brown accents with eyeliner in the same shade or black shadows with a contour pencil. Gold and brown will form the basis of everyday makeup, while black will decorate any evening look.

How to choose the right one?

Choosing eye shadow is not so difficult, because the ideal color scheme for gray and blue eyes has already been given above. Everyday looks with them they will find constant sophistication. If you want to play with color and create non-standard solutions, you can take the spectral circle as a basis. This color wheel is a special palette for makeup artists that helps create ideal tandems of three or more tones. The spectral circle consists of 12 color parts. The colors opposite each other in it combine perfectly with each other. If you want to increase the number of shades in your makeup, place an isosceles triangle in the spectral circle. The three colors in its tops are also good and organic in tandem.

However, for blue and blue eyes, not only a complementary combination of contrasting shades is suitable, but also a monochromatic one, when a color scheme of the same color is used. The best combinations here can be found in a ready-made eyeshadow palette. They usually consist of three or four shades ranging from light to dark. For example, blue-eyed people will definitely like the monochrome range of green tones:

  • khaki;
  • gray asparagus;
  • green with shades of blue, called "red sea".

Also a good solution would be to use a pink monochrome tandem. For example:

  • pearl tone;
  • flamingo;
  • pink lilac.

There can be many options; ready-made color palettes help in finding them.

Hair color

In addition to the shade of the eyes, an important criterion when choosing is the hair color of the blue-eyed beauty. Light and dark curls react differently to color, revealing or muting it.

For brunettes

A huge variety of tones are suitable for dark hair and heavenly eyes. You should start with not the most good options. Thus, the “smoky eyes” known to every fashionista should be created only in brown or gray tones. Classic black in this case will create a deliberately gloomy tone, suitable exclusively for themed parties. Otherwise, blue-eyed brunettes get complete freedom. For example, blue shadows suit them perfectly the right shade, that is, not more saturated than the natural eye color. Blue can smoothly transition into gray and silver. A golden range of tones with honey, golden and brown shades is also suitable for brunettes. The yellow-orange palette also deserves the attention of owners of this rare beauty.

For blondes

For blonde hair pastel shades are suitable, because blondes are especially suited to emphasizing their fragility and weightlessness. Curls filled sunlight, begin to shine even more when using pearl, peach and pink shades in makeup. Shades such as pistachio and champagne are also suitable. It is worth saying that the latter combine quite successfully with each other. If the occasion is very solemn, you can resort to brighter colors. Dark burgundy, brown and dark blue tones will highlight the pure blue of the eyes and will play in contrast with light curls.

For brown-haired women

Brown-haired women have more soft color type than brunettes. For light brown hair and blue eyes, delicate shades will be the best options. Among them you can see:

  • light beige;
  • light pink;
  • light peach.

Black tones are not suitable for this color type, which means it’s better to forget about “smoky eyes”, black eyeliner and eyebrows. On the other hand, there are always ways to soften such makeup. So, for “smoky eyes” it is better to use smoky shadows, making the look expressive, at the same time without weighing it down. In addition to gray, brown shadows will also come to the aid of brown-haired women, as well as mascara and eyeliner in this palette.

For redheads

The type of red-haired enchantresses with gray-blue eyes captivates with their originality and touching nature. The red tone reminds us of summer and the sun, blue - of the clear sky. From the point of view of makeup artists, the red color emphasizes and reveals the color of the eyes in new shades. Thus, gray-blue eyes can easily be brought closer to blue if you use blue, steel and silver eyelid products in your makeup. Suitable for red-haired girls stylish combination several tones, when blue smoothly turns into steel.

In addition, red-haired ladies go for light green and hot pink shadows, as well as tones with a copper tint. With their help, you can create the illusion of green witch eyes, which looks incredibly harmonious with red hair. And if bright colors are able to add bright green shades to the eyes, then a matte palette of muted shadows creates a languid swamp color of the iris. For this effect, brown tone is combined with copper, gold and pale pink.

If your hair has a light shade with a hint of red tone, you can use shadows from the top for makeup best flowers for blondes. This will allow you to diversify the palette of colors, making the choice even wider and more versatile.

Leather

Skin color is not left out when choosing the perfect eyeshadow. The fact is that any facial tone can be divided into warm and cold. They are divided depending on the color types of appearance. “Winter” and “summer” have a cold tone, “autumn” and “spring” have a warm tone. Bright skin with a pinkish, gray or lilac undertone characterizes winter and summer. The skin may be dark, but the base will always have a cool undertone. Tanned skin with a golden warm tint is a clear sign of a warm type.

It is worth saying that the above divisions into groups can sometimes be difficult to apply to yourself, because color types are often mixed and become combined.

Without an accurate idea of ​​your skin tone, makeup artists recommend using a simple experiment with foil. To do this, the girl needs to take two sheets of silver and gold foil and alternately apply them to her face. If your face begins to shine against the background of gold, your tone is warm; against the background of silver, your tone is cold. This simple example is used as a basis in the selection of shadows. Silver, purple, quartz and lilac shades are ideal for girls with a cold color type. A warm color type becomes even more comfortable in the company of golden and brown shades.

How to apply makeup?

Many people often associate blue eyes with the ocean. This similarity can be emphasized by excluding dark eyeliner or shadows on the lower eyelid. Instead, it is recommended to give preference white pencil, pushing the boundaries of even small eyes. It is also recommended to use light shadows at the inner corner, even if it is only a small dot. Further, the color palette on the eyes can be continued in darker colors. The key to successful multi-color makeup remains high-quality shading, starting with shadows and ending with a contour light pencil.

Step by step guide

No matter how difficult professional makeup for blue eyes may seem, if you paint your eyes step by step, you can get a result no worse than a salon. The first step here, as in any makeup, is to apply foundation. It is applied to make make-up more durable, prevent shadows from creasing in the creases of the eyelids, and also remove dark circles under the eyes.

When the skin is prepared, light neutral shadows are applied to the upper eyelid with a slight aftertaste of mother-of-pearl, if we are talking about an evening look. The inner corners are emphasized with light tones such as whitish blue or delicate lavender. Next comes the crucial moment of covering the moving eyelid with the main shadows. It can be pink or deep lavender. Hand movements are directed towards the eyebrows. Dark tones on the outer corners of the eyelids will help add brightness. Let it be gray, plum or brown depending on the base color. An important point is shading. The rich tone should flow smoothly into the dark.

When the eyeshadow makeup is finished, it's time to move on to the strokes. The accent here can be the use of a gray or brown liner of eyeliner, expanding towards the outer corner of the eye. The lower eyelid can be left free, or you can add contour pencil match the base color and blend thoroughly again. The color of mascara and eyebrow pencil should be organic not only with the shadows, but also with the hair color. Choose smoky and chocolate tones if you are not a hot brunette. The softness of the tones will add naturalness and professionalism to the makeup. The above option is suitable for both daytime and evening looks. The difference here is the presence or absence of sparkles and mother-of-pearl. Daytime make-up will be supported by matte tones, evening make-up will be supported by shining tones.
