Eye shadow for blue eyes

The purity and beauty of blue eyes is sung by many poets. They are compared to the ocean and diamonds. Shadows for blue eyes are a cut of beautiful features bestowed on us by nature.

Blue-eyed girls are extremely lucky, because the color of their eyes is already the brightest accent in the image. It is important to complement this accent with contrasting shades in relation to the iris. However, often following stereotypes, we choose blue shadows for blue eyes, and most often we are mistaken. Most shades of blue cover the beauty of the eyes, making makeup unnatural and sometimes vulgar. The blue palette for blue-eyed ladies can only be discovered in the hands of professional make-up artists, who can select the perfect tone with extraordinary accuracy. If makeup is planned to be carried out at home, then it is wiser to choose universal and simple options. So, for a stylish make-up, you should stock up on three shades of shadows. The first color will cover the main part of the moving eyelid, the second will accentuate, and the third will gently cover the area under the eyebrows. The eyes are also highlighted with black strokes, in the form of eyeliner and mascara.

Shadows should be organic depending on the situation.For example, everyday bows are perfectly complemented by muted pink, brown, plum and beige shadows. It is best if they are matte and very discreet. Green shadows should not be neglected for a daily look, because they perfectly play in contrast with the iris of the eye. Lilac shadows with light mother-of-pearl, complemented by a light tone for the inner corner of the eye, are another option that reveals the beauty of delicate, almost transparent blue eyes.

Evening make-up allows you to apply more saturated and bright tones. In this case, one should remember the basic rule that the saturation of the color should not overlap the brightness of the color of the eyes. Owners of light blue eyes will help to emphasize their individuality peach, purple, golden tones. For girls with blue eyes, turquoise tones, as well as orange shades in tandem with yellow shadows, will be appropriate. An interesting solution in such a sunny make-up is to emphasize the lower eyelid with a soft blue pencil. A universal tone option for bright and transparent blue eyes is golden shadows. Light-eyed ladies can complement them with brown accents with eyeliner in the same shade or black shadows with a contour pencil. Gold with brown will be the basis of everyday makeup, while black will decorate any evening look.

Choosing eye shadow is not so difficult, because the ideal color scheme for gray and blue-blue eyes has already been given above. Everyday images with them will gain constant sophistication. If you want to play with color and create non-standard solutions, you can take the spectral circle as a basis. Such a color wheel is a special makeup artist palette that helps create perfect tandems of three or more tones.The spectral circle consists of 12 color parts. The colors that are opposite each other in it are perfectly combined with each other. If you want to increase the number of shades in makeup, an isosceles triangle is placed in the spectral circle. The three colors in his tops are also nice and organic in tandem.

However, for blue and blue eyes, not only a complementary combination of contrasting shades is suitable, but also monochromatic, when the color scheme of the same color is used. The best combinations here can be found in a ready-made eyeshadow palette. They usually consist of three or four shades from light to dark. For example, blue-eyed people will definitely like the monochrome range of green tones:

• khaki;
• gray asparagus;
• green with shades of blue, called the "red sea".

Also a good solution would be to use a pink monochrome tandem. For example:

• pearl tone;
• flamingos;
• pink lilac.

There can be many options, ready-made color palettes help in their search.

In addition to the shade of the eyes, an important criterion for choosing is the hair color of a blue-eyed beauty. Light and dark curls react differently to color, revealing or drowning it out.

For dark hair and a heavenly gaze, a huge variety of tones are suitable. You should start with not the most successful options. So, known to every fashionista "smoky eyes" should be created only in brown or gray tones. Classic black in this case will create a deliberately gloomy tone, suitable exclusively for themed parties. Otherwise, blue-eyed brunettes get complete freedom. For example, blue shadows of the right shade are perfect for them, that is, not more saturated than the natural color of the eyes.Blue at the same time can smoothly turn into gray and silver. And the golden range of tones with honey, golden and brown hues is also suitable for brunettes. The yellow-orange palette also deserves the attention of the owners of this rare beauty.

For blond hair, pastel shades are suitable, because it is for blondes that emphasizing their fragility and weightlessness is so suitable. Sunlight-filled locks shine even more when pearls, peach and shades of pink are used in make-up. Shades such as pistachio and champagne are also suitable. It is worth saying that the latter are quite successfully combined with each other. If the occasion is very solemn, you can resort to brighter colors. Maroon, brown and navy tones will highlight the pure blue of the eyes and play in contrast with light curls.

Brown-haired women have a softer color type than brunettes. For light brown hair and blue eyes, gentle shades will be the best options. Among them you can see:

• light beige;
• light pink;
• light peach.

Black tones are not suitable for such a color type, which means it is better to forget about "smoky eyes", black eyeliner and eyebrows. On the other hand, there are always ways to soften such makeup. So, for "smoky eyes" it is better to use smoky shadows, making the look expressive, at the same time not weighing it down. In addition to gray, brown shadows will also come to the aid of brown-haired women, as well as mascara and eyeliner in this palette.

The type of red-haired enchantresses with gray-blue eyes conquers with its originality and touchingness.

So, gray-blue eyes are easy to bring closer to blue if you use blue, steel and silver eyeshadows in your makeup. A stylish combination of several tones suits red-haired girls, when blue smoothly turns into steel.

In addition, light green and hot pink shades, as well as tones with a copper tint, go to red ladies. With their help, you can create the illusion of green witch eyes, which looks insanely harmonious with red hair. And if bright tones can add bright greens to the eyes in shades, then a matte palette of muted shadows creates a languid marsh color of the iris. For this effect, the brown tone is combined with copper, gold and pale pink.

Skin color does not stand aside when choosing the perfect shadows. The fact is that any tone of the face can be conditionally divided into warm and cold. They are divided depending on the color types of appearance. “Winter” and “summer” have a cold tone, “autumn” and “spring” have a warm tone. Light skin with pinkish, gray or lilac undertones characterizes winter and summer. At the same time, the skin may be swarthy, but at the base there will always be a cold undertone. Tanned skin with a golden warm sheen is a clear sign of a warm type.

Not having an accurate idea of ​​their skin tone, makeup artists recommend using a simple experiment with foil. To do this, the girl needs to take two sheets of silver and gold foil and alternately apply them to her face. If the face began to shine against the background of gold - your tone is warm, against the background of silver - cold. This simple example is taken as a basis in the selection of shadows. Girls with a cold color type are ideal for silver, lilac, quartz and lilac shades. The warm color type becomes even more comfortable in the company of golden and brown shadows.

Blue eyes are often associated with the ocean. This similarity can be emphasized by the exclusion of dark eyeliner or shadows on the lower eyelid. Instead, it is recommended to give preference to a white pencil, pushing the boundaries of even small eyes. It is also recommended to use light shadows at the inner corner, even if it is only a small point. Further, the color palette in front of the eyes can be continued in darker colors. The key to a successful multi-color makeup is high-quality shading, starting with shadows and ending with a contour light pencil.

A saturated tone should smoothly flow into a dark one.

When the makeup with shadows is over, it's time to do the strokes. The accent here can be the use of a gray or brown eyeliner that expands to the outer corner of the eye. The lower eyelid can be left free, or you can add a contour pencil to match the main color and blend thoroughly again. The color of mascara and eyebrow pencil should be organic not only with shadows, but also with hair color. Choose smoky and chocolate tones if you are not a burning brunette. The softness of the tones will add naturalness and professionalism to the makeup. The above option is suitable for both daytime and evening looks.
