I have long lashes on blue eyes,but i want to accent them more. Mascara doesn't show up because my lashes are too dark, and i don't want to end up looking like a raccoon. Is there a spot between 'natural' and 'black eye'? I need tips, please! i'm new at the cosmetics game!
I also have fair skin, so nothing too dark, please.
Thanks for the tips!

I have really long lashes too and I LOVE mascara. when I use it everyone thinks I'm wearing falsies cuz my lashes touch my eyebrows. If your going to wear mascara wipe most of the mascara off of the brush with a rag before applying it. this will completely eliminate any clumps. I usually have to clean my lids up afterwards too, so I always do mascara FIRST. Eyeliners come in every color you can think of from black to white to red to puke green. If you want to go darker, but not black, try a grey or brown. start liner at the inside of your iris (the colored part of your eye) not the inside corner of your eye. also, if you are going to line the bottom too, only go in about 1/4 to1/3 of the way in from the outside corner or it will make your eyes look smaller. if you put a lighter color like white or shimmery light taupe on the inside corners top and bottom, it will make your eyes look bigger and brighter too good luck

Dark lashes and blue eyes... you're very lucky! You can simply use a medium brown or even grey liner pencil, smudge it a little (don't make it a heavy line), and use some brown/black mascara. That, with a beige or butter-colored shadow over the whole lid should not be an overwhelming look, but should accentuate your eyes beautifully!

You can use clear mascara to define and separate your lashes.
I find gel or cake eyeliner applied with a brush the easiest to use and the easiest to get a fine line without the eye-stabbing of a pencil.
Use a color that compliments your eyes, a nice copper or bronze eyeliner will bring out the blue of your eyes. For nighttime/smoky look use a ligtht brown or silver tone.

Curl your lashes with a curler, use clear mascara, which just makes them shine a little. Try lining your top lid with a soft color and smudge it, then line your bottom lid with white. This makes your eyes look bigger, a shimmery white that you smudge looks nice for evening. Play with it alot and definitely don't overdo it. You are really lucky to have dark lashes with blue eyes, so don't cover it up.

Accent your eyes with a little bit of dark colored eye shadow. You can also line your eyes with the shadow to create a natural effect without the dark line. That way, you don't have to use mascara or eyeliner.

My friend has fair skin and blue eyes just like you. A dark brown looks excellent and really brings out the blue. For your eyelashes, use an eyelash curler and separator, and then apply mascara. Hope it helps :).

more mascara wouldn't hurt and would highlight your beautiful eyes. . . darker purple or brown eyeshadow would add the depth without Racoon eyes. . . Curling your lashes will help a great deal

Try clear mascara. It just opens your eyes a bit. It would look sooo pretty on you.
