• Colored "smoky eyes" will be a great solution for an evening make-up. To make it perfect, try to very smoothly shade the shades of blue that you will use.
• Dark blue eye makeup and elegant black eyeliner. Such a make-up would be appropriate for a dinner party or a date.
• A gentle make up with a slight blue accent will be a great solution to complement your everyday look. It will look good with an airy blue dress or a formal suit of this shade.
• Black and blue or gray and blue makeup with smooth transitions and a blended black pencil on the lower eyelids will look very elegant at the prom. It can be complemented with shiny French arrows or accentuated with silver pigment.
• If you are looking for something unusual, but at the same time light and natural, we recommend that you look at pink-blue and white-blue eye makeup. Such make-ups will equally well complement the daytime and evening look. If you choose something for the day, it is better to make the makeup less intense.
• Double white and blue arrows will also be a great solution for creating an outstanding make-up.

Makeup with blue eyelashes looks no less interesting. Most often they are not used for everyday looks, but for going to a party it will be just right. Colored mascaras always make the eyes expressive and attractive, so don't be afraid to experiment with them.

• Blue or black arrows on the eyes can be supplemented with bright blue eyelashes.
• It looks very unusual when the upper eyelashes are dyed blue, and the lower ones, for example, white or black. Do not be afraid to make different combinations, especially if you want to create a bright and memorable make up. Do not forget, using colored mascara, to paint over the outer side of the eyelashes.
• Blue eyelashes are very often complemented by bright lipstick. Most often, this image is appropriate for photography.

A very bold step would be to use blue lipstick on the lips. Minimize eye makeup when using lipstick in this shade. It is better to focus on one thing: either on the eyes or on the lips. Ladies with dark or tanned skin are best suited for rich colors of blue, but fair-skinned girls are better off with azure options.

Today, many different cosmetic companies produce unusual decorative products for creating special make-ups.

• If you want to make contrasting blue lips, then we recommend looking for lipsticks in this color from NYX or Urban Decay.
• You can find blue mascaras from luxury brands Dolce and Gabbana, Chanel and YSL, as well as from professional NYX or Make Up For Ever.

• Blue shadows of various textures (matte, liquid and shimmer) can be found at Armani, Dior, Pupa, L’Oreal Paris, Maybelline, NARS, Bobbi Brown and many other brands.

To get the perfect makeup using blue, we recommend that you pay attention to the following step-by-step guide and some nuances for creating such a make-up.

• On a prepared and moisturized face, apply a make-up base. Hide all irregularities, redness and especially bruises under the eyes with a corrector. This is very important, because blue or azure shadows can look unfavorable if you do not correct dark bags under the eyes.
• Next, apply foundation to match your face. Set it with powder if necessary. Apply your chosen blush. Pale pink and cream options are best suited to the blue shade of the shadows, but it all depends on the image as a whole.
• Apply eye shadow base. Spread the main (nude, cream or any other light) shade down to the eyebrows. An excellent solution would be a combination of black, gray and brown shadows that can be applied to the outer corners of the eyes and blend them up to the middle of the moving eyelid. The middle should be complemented by the selected shade of blue, it can be shiny or matte. Line the lower eyelids with a black pencil and blend. Finish your eye makeup with classic black French arrows.
• Don't forget to shape your eyebrows perfectly.
• Eyelashes can be dyed the way you like, but in such a makeup, it is better to focus on length and separation.
• Lips make up with a neutral color in relation to the eyes, for example, cream or pale pink. A combination of blush and lipstick in the same color will look good.

If you decide to create a dark blue makeup, then pay attention to the following steps:

• As in the previous make-up version, apply a base on the prepared face, correct imperfections, distribute foundation and fix everything with powder.
• Refresh your cheeks with blush or highlight your cheekbones with a bronzer.
• Apply dark brown or chocolate eye shadow just above the crease of the upper eyelid along the entire length. Blend with a brush.
• Using creamy black eyeshadow, preferably matte or sticky eyeshadow, cover the entire lid, leaving the center. Blend, lightly touching brown.
• Spread the dark blue shade of shadows on the moving eyelid, blend, barely touching the black shade.
• Using brown shadows, bring the lower eyelid, blend. Also completely circle the eye with a black pencil, it is also recommended to bring the inner lower eyelid.
• Coat your lashes with black mascara, paying particular attention to separating them.
• Lipstick choose from a natural range.
