Question of the Day

I have a question for you. What is the difference between drugstore make up and expensive designer  makeup? The answer is only obvious: quality. What I wonder is what makes the quality so much better. Is it a secret ingredient? …

Application

To enhance blue eyes I have found on myself that browns, coppers, orangey, and light or medium gold are the best shades for me. I would consider my eyes Probably a medium blue and they can turn green depending what I wear. I have a warm skin tone so I prefer warm colors. as a hi liter under my brows and on the inner eye I will use a frosty ice color or a light gold color for a softer look. Black eyeliner. I’m doing liquid liner at the moment. At first I could not apply it but with a little practice I’m pretty good at it now.  I just like the clean bold line and it really makes your eyes stand out.

Skin tone

Ok so now we found out about the different types of blue eyes we also must look at tour skin tone. You may have a warm skin tone if your skin has yellow undertones. If your skin has pink undertones that is considered cool.  Warm skin tones looks better with warm colors and cool looks better with cool. So that’s pretty simple.  Warm colors on the color wheel are considered yellow, orange, red, light green. Once it gets to blue that’s considered cool. Blue, purple, and darker greens all fit the cool category.

Blue eye color

Blue eyes have different depths of blue to them and this will effect how to play them up.  First define the level of your natural color.

1. Light Blue- this color can easily be overshadowed by a dark color.  If you love a darker color it is better to use it in your crease only or as a liner. Stick to medium softer colors for the rest of the eye.
   

   These knockout beauties work well with lighter shades over the lid and brow while sticking to the crease area for darker shades.

2.  Medium Blue- looks best with light to medium colors again, sticking with a darker color in the crease or as a liner.  Some great colors are deep violet, deep peach, bronze or light copper.  Go with a pink or a white as a hi lighting color.  Grays, silvers and blues also look good for these eye.
   

   Same as with light blue, limit darker colors to the crease area of the eye.

3. Dark Blue- this is an intense color like a sapphire blue.  You may use just about any color you’d like including darker colors.  Deep grays, or for a more summery look, copper or bronzes work well.  Silver looks amazing too.
   

   Truly lucky, anything goes for these dark sapphire peepers.

4. Gray-Blue-  this color tends to change depending on what you wear. It’s better to stick with lighter colors so as not to overpower these eyes.
   

   Stick with lighter colors so as not to overpower the eyes.

Complementary color for blue eyes

Alright, so the universal complementary color for blue eyes is bronze.  It can go with all shades of blue eyes.  To find a complementary color for your eyes look at a color wheel.  The complimentary color will be across from your color on the wheel. Or you can use an analogous color which would be a color right next to your eye color on the color wheel. This will be a less dramatic contrast for your eyes.
