Favorite eye shadow shades for Blue eyes?

Eyeshadow for blue eyes?

My eyes are blue-ish/grey-ish and i want an eyeshadow that will make them pop. would blue eyeshadow be good? or would that just drown them out? any suggestions?

 

[MissLorsie]

try a base of bare canvas paint and magnomix shadestick- paradisco over the entire lid and sprout to line the lower lashline for abit of liveliness.. perhaps place some rose pigment over paradisco and lightly above the crease. highlight with ur usual e/s on the brow bone

Blue/gray eyes

Another question!

What kind of eye makeup would make my eyes stand out the best? My eye color is a bluish color so light it looks gray. (Here's a really weird, really bad photo from when I dyed my hair with henna, but it's the only photo I have on hand that shows my eye color.)

I know curling my eyelashes is supposed to help too. I have yet to have much luck with it, but I'm thinking of trying the trick where you heat the curler up with your blowdrier first, maybe sometime this weekend.

colour theory...

Hey, well anything that's the opposite colour of your eyes which is called the "complementary" colour, or anything the same colour but on different tones. So the complementary colour of your blueish-gray eyes would be a browny-orange. But you could also wear blue-violets or blue-greens and those would make your eyes pop as well.

MAC colours for you.....
Amber Lights, Expensive Pink, Steamy, Flashtracks, Texture, Contrast, Shimmermoss, Parfait Amour, Coppering...

Those are my suggestions as a MAC Artist...hope you like them.

Thanks for the explanation! I somehow thought that you weren't supposed to use like colors, but I wasn't sure which other colors would work. I've been itching to use blue-green. Funny, I used some topaz/copper colors yesterday to experiment and they made my eyes look almost green -- pretty cool!

And thanks for the MAC specific rec's -- I'll jot those down and stick 'em in my wallet for spontaneous shopping trips.

blue eyes

i hope this hasn't been asked *too* much, but i'm sure it's been asked before.


what are some good MAC e/s for blue eyes.....

i'm thinking in the spectrum of something i can wear to work (i work as a software engineer, so in an office dressed professionally, nothing too bright).

 

[Shimmer]

go with the browns, golds, and bronzy pinks

 

[Jaim]

I agree with the above. Also orange (or more copper maybe) to make your blue eyes stand out!

I find an easy way to pair eye shadow with eye colour is to think about colours that compliment each other in real life situations. Some of my faves for blue eyes are:

- Golds: all shades, ranges, variations. Golds and bronzes really make blue eyes shine.
- Pinks: Again, many shades and textures, though I prefer peachy pinks for blue eyes.
- Neutrals: Off-white, yellow tinted, soft colours look good on blue eyes and are good for office wear.

For your day wear palette, I recommend checking out the follwoing MAC colours:

- Shroom
- Ricepaper
- Goldmine
- Gorgeous Gold
- Grain
- Woodwinked

All of these colours are in the gold/neutral range and would look lovely for your office wear

HTH!

I have blue eyes too, and I love Coppering and Expensive Pink. I have Love Bud too which I like paired with both Coppering and Expensive Pink. Another favorite is Retrosteck which is a nice neutral good for lid color and highlight. Hope that helps!

thanks!!!

I've just got Woodwinked, I'm so pleased, it looks awesome with my blue eyes and is very office friendly! I know you asked for eyeshadow recs but Chocolate Brown and Old gold pigments also look fantastic with blue eyes!

 

[hypergrl273]

I love how blue eyes pop with oranges! maybe something like mythology, mulch and ricepaper

 

[Charnelle]

Woodwinked looks great on every eye color!
I love it.

I think Amber lights would looks good on Blue eyes too.
Same with Coppering.

 

[Carlily]

I have blue eyes - Woodwinked and Shroom are my most used colours on natural days, usually with Vanilla to highlight, they look amazing! Oranges look great with blue eyes, but I can't seem to use them becuase my skin is so pale they look scary on it. Expensive Pink sounds interesting, I think I want it, I'll add it to the ever-growing list of things to get!

 

[mitsukai]

i have bright blue eyes and i agree with alll of these. expensive pink is fab, woodwinked is amaaazing.. coppering is good too. urban decay's half baked and mac antiqued are some other loves as well

check out some of my fotds if you like. some greens look good too!

 

[firefly]

best green MAC e/s for blue eyes?

i have blue eyes that turn greenish, & a fair, neutral skintone. i was thinking about humid or greensmoke & i already have sumptuous olive. thanks!

 

[scentofevil]

i think greensmoke is a good option. i have it and i love it. it's less...intense than humid, which is kinda bright and vivid and scary to me.

also consider Fiction; it's like greensmoke without all the glitter in it and is a darker color w/a little more grey in it.

You might also want to look into Swimming and Golden Olive pigment. I've seen a few FOTDs from blue-eyed ladies using either of these colors & they looked beautiful!
