Eye Makeup for Blue Eyes

5 simple rules:

1     For fair coloring and light blue eyes, stick to lighter colors, as darker or more intense colors will overpower your eyes and you will look overly made up. 

2     For darker coloring and darker blue eyes you can get away with the more intense shades of eye shadow, eye liner and mascara.

3     If you are so fair that you have blonde or very light eye lashes, you would most likely be better off to stick with brown mascara and eyeliner, as the blacks will be too overwhelming. 

4     If your eyelashes are naturally dark you can wear black eye liner and mascara - always follow mother nature's lead!

5     Dark blue (think navy) mascara and eyeliner is a good alternative to black and not only gives a slightly softer look, it can really emphasize the color of your eyes.

How To Choose Eye Shadow Color

Your eyes are the windows to your soul. Make them come alive with a touch of shadow on the lids. Don't choose a color just because you like it, choose colors that go well with your skin tone and on special occasions you can match your eyeshadow with your clothes.

Instructions

1. • 1
     Shop for shades that complement your skin and eye color. Look for colors that softly contrast with the shade of your eyes - not colors that match them exactly.
   • 2
     Choose simple, natural shades. If you opt for bright or trendy colors, be careful; they can look unnatural unless balanced with other suitable tones, and may go out of style as fast as they came in.
   • 3
     Buy colors that blend well together. You want your eyes to attract the attention, not any marked lines caused by your shadow.
   • 4
     Keep in mind that dark colors will minimize your eyes, while light shades will make them stand out.
   • 5
     Consider soft browns and tans with sandy or pink undertones for blue eyes.
   • 6
     Wear khaki and brown shades with yellow undertones for green eyes.
   • 7
     Accent dark brown and black eyes with brown and charcoal shadows.
   • 8
     Experiment. Head to a department store's cosmetic counter and have your eyes made up by a professional. Ask for color combinations that could work for day and evening.
