Blue eyeshadow?

Question

Is that still a don't for black girls? Any specific blue, or just blues all together?

Answer 1

Blue eye shadow doesn't really do justice to anyone. I think golds and bronze colors look especially good on black girls...I wish I could wear 'em, but my face is too pale!

Answer 2

I don't believe that any color is a no no. It is all in how you wear it. I think that all blue over all of the eye would be a mistake. But if you put a base color all over your eye, a medium color in the crease and then use the blue lightly on the middle of the eye lid to just add a little color.
This is the one site that I could find that had sort of an interaction type feel. You can see what different colors look like.

Answer 3

Black girls can wear blue eyeshadow. Just make sure that it doesn't look tacky. Use softer colors rather than bold.

Answer 4

As Jamie Lee Curtis said in "My Girl".... a girl can never have too much blue eyeshadow. Try a pearlescent shade. Something that sparkles!

Answer 5

I have never like blue eye shadow. I don't care what color skin it goes on. It never looks good. And that would be ALL blues! I 've seen make-overs on tv done on black women and they don't ever put blue eye shadow on them. There's got to be a reason.

Answer 6

go with a colbalt blue with a metallic shimmer to it, it looks ethereal on deep black skin. Avoid opaque baby blue though, a thin electric blue looks good.

Answer 7

I've seen silvery eye makeup on a black woman it bordered on blue-ish but it looked really nice it was close to the lash line.
but outright blue prooly not a good idea...

Answer 8

Aqua Blue would look good just don't use too much. A little goes a long way.

Answer 9

Honestly i don't think its a good color for eyeshadow. The natural look is what i go for.

Answer 10

I don't know, why don't you find magazines and see what the black models wear, you can match it and look glamorous too.
