What eye shadow color would make blue eyes look bluer?

Answer 1

Bronze, brown or golden eye shadows are going to contrast with your eye color the most, thus making them standout even more. I have blue eyes too but I wear many different colors. I believe anyone; with any combination or coloring (eyes, skin, hair) can wear any eye shadow colors they choose, provided the colors are chosen to compliment each other.

But to specifically make your blue eyes stand out, I would suggest going for a bronze eye shadow, especially since its summertime. Browns are usually the choice for blue eyes, but everyone is wearing boring, muted shades of brown, so spice it up a little and go for bronze! It's still technically in the brown family. My favorite bronze shadows are "Baked" by Urban Decay and "Amber Lights" by MAC. Both are very similar shades of shimmery medium bronze. MAC also makes an eyeliner called "Teddy" which is a deeper, darker shimmery bronze that looks great with either of the shadows I've listed.

You could also try some brownish plums; they would really make your blue eyes stand out as well. MAC's Star Violet, Trax and Cranberry are great choices, although Star Violet is my favorite. Just check MAC's website for shade descriptions and color swatches. www.maccosmetics.com

Brown and plum shades are going to make your blue eyes look bluer, but don't be afraid to experiment with other colors too, even blue and green eye shadows. They might not make the actual blueness of your eyes stand out more, but they can look amazing and even change the blue in your eyes ever so slightly, some make them look more of a bluish green, or an icy blue, a grayish blue or a deeper blue. Makeup can always be washed off, so don't be afraid to play around with color. Even drugstore brands have some amazing options when it comes to pretty colors.

Answer 2

I have blue eyes and have had trouble in the past years finding those one colors that make my eyes pop or stand out.I have actually found a color that works great for a day with the kids or family and a casual night on the town and with the help from a favorite TV show of mine I have achieved this discovery:

The first color is a smoky brown color that you would apply from the lash line into the crease,followed up with a subtle light brown ro cream color shadow to act as a highlight just under your eyebrow.

These colors together with a Teal or Burgundy color shirt or dress will make those eyes scream"look at me".


The second color is a brownish red color with more of the brown tone in it. this paired with a soft brownish red lipstick or gloss will make you look ready for a night on the town with some friends or that special someone in your life.

You must also remember to stick with a black mascara and apply it lightly so that it just lifts the lashes and doesn't overdo them and make you look like you should be somewhere on the Las Vegas strip.

Answer 3

What Colour Eyeshadow For Blue Eyes

Answer 4

I'm a Mary Kay beauty consultant, and I get this question a lot. Try taupes, or colors that enhance your eyes, but not compete with them. Stay away from really blue shadows. Visit the Virtual Makeover on my website for color ideas. Just find a model that has a similar coloring to you! www.marykay.com/adina_k

Answer 5

The complimentary color of blue is orange, so any eyeshadow with orange undertones will make your blue eyes POP! Examples: orangey brown, gold, bronze, anything like that. Brown eyeliner and brown or black mascara. You could also do a light blue eyeshadow with white as a highlight and some brown eyeliner. Hope this helps!

Answer 6

Use a light brown colour about two tones darker than your skin shade on the lid.

Accent with a very dark blue in the crease, and fade a light, light blue into it.

This will create contrast closest to your eyes but will provide colour for comparison when someone's gazing into your baby blues.

A dark mascara will suit well, too, if you have a pretty consistant skin tone.

Answer 7

i have really blue eyes naturally and when i really want to make them look bluer i do the following:

1. put on bright, but deep blue eyeliner (medium thickness)
2. put on sparkly gold eyeshadow
3. touch up the eyeliner
4. put on black, blue/black, or blue mascara
optional: add glitter to your eyelid

there's other things you can do, but this is a lot of fun and different from the norm...especially for special occassions and when you are also wearing blue clothes

Answer 8

Try a dark color like black or charcoal gray. It will bring your eyes out, and it will make a person want to look more into your eyes, because being that your eyes are that color, it will contrast greatly with the dark colors, and make your eyes pop lol.

Answer 9

Try peach. It is known to make blue eyes bluer.

Answer 10

I have blue eyes and I find that wearing a soft violet on the lid, deeper violet in the crease and a beige or light matt silver on the lid works well. You don't want to match your eye make-up color to your outfit. (that is outdated). Browns also work well, but remember to wear it this way:
under eyebrows: a light color (off white, beige, silver, light tan, etc)
in the crease of your lid: a deeper color of the one used for your eyelid
eyelid color: a color to compliment your eye color (for blue eyes there is violet/purples, browns/beige's, pink/purples, grey/lt. grey, I wouldn't recommend green, orange, or dark blues.
