Blue eyes! Probably everyone will agree that this rare color is mesmerizing. Many children are born with blue eyes, but over the years the shade changes to another, but you really want something angelic, unearthly in the image. Those who are lucky enough to stay with this color in life can rejoice, but at the same time remember that you can enhance the color with makeup.

Skillful tricks and interesting ideas will help you recreate a calm sky or a seething sea element, make your look languid and a little cold, or add a perky spark. Let's try to accomplish the impossible with just one technique - "smoky eyes".

Let's start with the fact that "smoky eyes" for blue eyes are divided into daytime and evening. Since we go to work more often than social events and celebrations, let's start with everyday colors.

Have you noticed how gentle the combination of pink and blue looks? Moreover, the shade can be either sugar-sweet, similar to cotton wool from the fair, or smoky-dusty, reminiscent of the petals of a wilted rose. Both types are perfect for a blue-eyed beauty, the main thing is the correct sequence.

The smoky eyes technique itself implies that your eye will be shrouded in color from all sides.If you have chosen makeup in pink tones, then you should not line your eyes with a black pencil, take gray or brown, perhaps marsh.

Apply a pencil along the lash line above and below. Slightly blend it so that the line does not resemble a drawing in a student's notebook. Next, cover the upper and lower eyelids with the main color. Perhaps there will be two. The first shade is a little lighter and the second is a little darker. Small crossing is not allowed. The main thing is that the parts close to the eye itself should be covered with darker colors than the brow and corner of the eye at the bridge of the nose.

Given that this is makeup for the first half of the day, and even taking into account the rather neutral pink shades, it is important to blend the shadows well. Do not make the layer too dense, the strokes should be almost weightless. Give a hint of color, a slight shadow, then it will be beautiful. You can even ditch the primer or eye base so as not to show excess color pigment.

Golden hues also look appropriate in the daytime and perfectly showcase the charm of gray-blue eyes. In this version, it is also better to line your eyes with pencils of calmer shades, otherwise you risk turning a light smoky look into a dangerous oriental or Greek one.

Gold can be mixed with bronze and silver. Metallic shades are in perfect harmony with each other and are suitable for absolutely all eye shades, so it doesn’t matter if your color is closer to gray or black, this is a win-win combination.

Another easy option can be done in purple tones. It should not be a color reminiscent of amaldine stone, and even more so garnet.Your option is rather a delicate lilac that has just opened its buds. Cover the main area with this shade, and highlight the space between the eyebrow and the crease of the eyelid with a highlighter or mother-of-pearl shade.

Light gray dusty color is also absolutely appropriate in the daytime make-up variation. Save the darker charcoal colors for an evening out, and light gray, like steam or a small rain cloud, can be safely used. Well, if you have a gray pencil or eyeliner, black again will be too strong a contrasting factor. Try two looks, one make-up created with additional pearlescent gloss, and the second a matte variation. Use white powder, eye shadow, or even an inner eyeliner for the area under the eyebrow, removing shine and playfulness from the image.

All four makeup colors are quite versatile and are suitable not only for a blue-eyed brunette, but also for a fiery red girl or blondes. Also, for them, it makes no difference whether your image will be built on a trouser suit or a light dress or jeans. These are really very comfortable color schemes that do not oblige you to a strict style in clothes or hair.

Of course, the most win-win option is classic black makeup. In order to complete it, you will need a minimum of tools and palettes. Black pencil, black shadows, white or silver to create transitions and black ink. Four products are all you need to make your eyes look amazing.

But the classics are boring. To dilute it, you can use the following options:

• Try adding large shimmery sparkles. Apply them when the main makeup is ready. You can apply a few strokes to the corner of the eye or completely cover the moving eyelid with them. If you are using rhinestones, try laying out a small pattern. As an adhesive, the one you use for false eyelashes is suitable.
• Speaking of eyelashes. False eyelashes with glitter or rhinestones already built in will easily add shimmer and a touch of fun. Such an image immediately acquires a slightly thematic character, since something theatrical, pretentious appears in it, so you can’t wear it every evening.
• Another option - a colored eyeliner with which you circle the contour. Try red. In such a make-up there will be something from a vampire, something mysterious, bloody, alluring.
• You can dilute the black classics with color. In the part between the crease of the upper eyelid and the eyebrow, as well as on the lower eyelid, a bright color can be added with the next layer behind the black paint. Purple, blue, red, yellow - all these colors will suit you. Deciding on such a step, think in advance in what outfit you will go for the evening. It is important that the complementary color does not go against the color of your dress or suit.

In addition to black, “smoky eyes” in burgundy wine tones will look very nice with blue eyes. Cold shades of cherry at times will enhance the brightness of the blue pigment of your iris. Perhaps you yourself will be surprised how icy and piercing your own gaze can be.

You've already read about "smoky eyes" in dark purple in our daytime makeup tips. Evening look can be much more intense.Use a primer to bring out the color of the purple pigment to the maximum. Instead of the lightest shade in your makeup, which is usually white, try a pretty bright pink. The transition from a warm, almost red color to a calmer and deeper purple and then to a bright blue spot is very beautiful.

If your eyes also give off gray, you will incredibly go with a bright, flashy malachite color added to traditional black or gray "smoky eyes". Apply it to the center of the eyelid so that it resembles a pupil if your eyes are closed. Such a move is really interesting and does not occur often.

Another option that perfectly highlights blue eyes is indigo. It looks incredibly expensive. To create a very dense texture, you can even apply blue mascara instead of black. It will turn out as if your eyes are completely and completely wrapped in expensive royal velvet, and they themselves sparkle brightly, like diamonds.

If you used to think "smoky eyes" was boring, an old step-by-step technique that wouldn't surprise anyone, now you know it's not. The same application style can open up thousands of completely different possibilities with some ingenuity and the right materials.

Do not forget that in any eye makeup, consistency is important. The first layer is always a colorless base, then the main dark color should be applied. Then bring the desired parts with a pencil and only then add light tones and colored spots.

Remember also that any "smoky eyes" can be supplemented with arrows.There are a great many forms and variations: classic, double, half, wide, Arabic, haute couture, and so on ... The main thing is that your shape and eye fit allow you to use this type of decoration.

If you didn’t succeed the first time, try changing something in the application technique. If you've done makeup with your fingers, give brushes a try and vice versa. A lot will depend on proper preparation. To remove possible swelling, do a light massage or use patches, for even application and good shading, try an eye primer or regular powder. Experiment, come up with options and do not be afraid to take risks, because unsuccessful makeup can always be washed off and a new one made.
