Blue eyes can be stunning all by themselves, but adding the right make up can make all the difference in really showing off your blue eyes. If your eyes are deep blue or icy blue, you can still find the perfect way to make them stand out.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Make sure you start off on the right foot. A good base color to coat your eyes in will start you off with what you need to make your beautiful blue eyes stand out. Lightly applying a silver, gold, or grey to your top eyelid will make a nice base.

  2. Step 2

    You want to carefully choose colors that will make your eyes pop, and not sink back into your face. Eye shadow color is the most important choice you can make. With blue eyes you want to use bright silvers, bright golds, sharp pinks, light blues, deep blues, and royal blues. Other colors that will work on blue eyes are lavender, teal, and turquoise. Pick a color and then brush it onto your top eyelid, with it starting darker towards your eyelashes and fading as you push it towards your eyebrow.

  3. Step 3

    Apply black eye liner to your bottom eyelid. Brown will also work if you would like to use this better.

  4. Step 4

    Apply black mascara to your lashes to make them stand out more. Then your done!

Tips & Warnings
  • Use colors such as silver, grey and gold for a base.
  • Blues really make blue eyes pop!
  • Don't be scared to test out colors on your own.
