Makeup for unusual coloring?

[enigmaticpheo]

Hi everyone!

I wanted to ask this question on behalf of my mom; she has blue eyes and medium olive colored (very youthful) skin and dark hair, but she can never figure out the best palette of colors to wear for her makeup; eyes are of the most concern. Most products gear either toward people with blue eyes OR people with darker skin, and not both. Any recommendations for a good eye palette or photo examples that she can reference?

Thanks in advance!

theres really no rule in make-up, neutrals go well for everyone.

I think warm bronzes and golds would be VERY flattering. Golds make blue eyes pop and bronzes and shimmery browns are very flattering on that complexion, which would usually wash out someone (like myself) with the pale skinned/blue eyed complexion. Warm peaches and corals would be AWESOME as well.

Edit: The new warm pigment Little Darlings set MAC just released would be a nice start IMO

Thanks so much for the recommendations guys!

I'll definitely pass them onto my mom ASAP. I figured neutrals would be a good choice, though that pigment you recommended amyzon, sounds GORGEOUS--I had to look it up!
