- Nude makeup can be used exclusively with bright accents, such as arrows or a shimmer;
- Neutral brown shades are suitable for the make-up of blue eyes, the rest of the colors should be saturated and colorful.
Blue-eyed girls need to give out a look - this is the main and most important recommendation of professional makeup artists. This is especially true for fair skin, as blue eyes may be lost in the background.
For girls with blue eyes, warm shades of shades are ideal:
- Golden;
- Peach;
- Powdery;
- Milk chocolate;
- Pale pink;
- Champagne
- Lavender.
These tones are best used as the main shadows, on top of which they already apply bright shades, draw arrows or use various techniques. When choosing shadows, you need to remember that shades with an orange undertone are suitable for blue eyes, while a too bright red undertone can give the look soreness and fatigue.
As an additional bright shade, blue eyes will fit shadows:
- Copper;
- Bronze;
- Purple;
- Coffee
- Turquoise
- Emerald;
- Light green;
- Yellow;
- Ultramarine;
- Cobalt;
- Plum.
Black eyeliner for blue eyes should be replaced with brown, gray or even blue and green. Do not forget also about the shine: glitter, mother of pearl, shimmer, but with them you need to be careful and know the measure. Lipstick is selected in accordance with the rest of the makeup and according to its purpose.
Suitable techniques
You can create beautiful makeup for blue eyes using special techniques. A definite plus for girls with blue eyes is that they will suit almost all the famous makeup techniques:

Depending on the purpose of makeup, choose the appropriate technique. Make-up artists recommend combining colors and playing in contrasts to achieve a more expressive look.
Bright shades should be combined with a nude base, and dark with a shimmer or glitter. Saturated tones from different color spectra are better not to be combined in one make-up, otherwise you can achieve the opposite effect.
The most relevant makeup options for blue eyes are smokey ice, with arrows, relief and loop. And the first three are the most common and simple to execute.
Evening makeup for blue eyes
Beautiful make-up for gray-blue eyes, suitable for evening events, can be done in two types: bright and expressive. In the first case, saturated and colorful shades of shadows are used:
- Turquoise;
- Emerald;
- Purple;
- Violet;
- Purple.
Nude shades of lipsticks are suitable for this make-up: peach, beige, dusty rose. In this case, the tone of the lips and shadows should not create obvious contrasts. Of the techniques, it is better to choose embossed or smoky ice. Bright evening make-up is suitable for parties, New Year celebrations and other lush celebrations.
Expressive evening makeup for brown eyes is done mainly for weddings, dates, business dinners and family gatherings. It uses less muted pearl shades:
- Golden;
- Coral;
- Chocolate;
- Cinnamon;
- Bronze;
- Amber.
Lips in this case should also be highlighted using red, purple, purple, wine lipstick. You can add arrows to the makeup or highlight the look using the outline. The ideal application would be techniques: smoky ice, with arrows, embossed or bird wing.
To create a spectacular evening make-up for blue eyes using the “wing” technique is quite easy at home, without having special skills.
Stage 1: preparation of the basis. On the eyelid we apply pearlescent shades of peach or champagne. From the moving eyelid, gently blend them, adding a little shine to the fixed eyelid.
Stage 2: bottom arrow. Using a narrow brush, we draw the shadows of a light brown or with an orange undertone and draw an arrow from the outer corner of the lower eyelid up, thus forming a line resembling the wingspan.
Stage 3: shading and dark shades. Slightly blend the resulting up arrow, trying to maintain the outline. Choose a darker shade from the palette, for example, milk chocolate or cinnamon, and apply it to the outer corner of the eye along the contour of the arrow, also blend it.
Stage 4: upper arrow. With a beveled brush, we draw the darkest shade of the arrow along the upper eyelid along the line of eyelash growth. The arrow should turn out to be thin, proceed from the middle of the eye and go beyond the eyelids, repeating the shape of the bottom.
Stage 5: add dark shadows. We add the same shade with which the upper arrow was drawn to the outer corner of the eye along the contour of the line. Shade carefully for a smooth and blurry transition between the shadows.
Stage 6: eyelashes. For evening makeup, it is recommended to choose black mascara. Gently paint over her eyelashes, trying not to touch the makeup. We do not touch the lower eyelashes to create the effect of a “wide” look.
For such an evening make-up, you can choose almost any shade of lipstick, including a matte and satin finish. Champagne lipsticks with shimmer, scarlet or wine shades and pearly lilac tones will be ideal.
Day makeup for blue eyes
Creating everyday makeup for gray-blue eyes is quite simple. The basis of the make-up will be a combination of nude shades of shadows and one bright accent. In this case, the emphasis can be made not only on the lips, but also add to the eye makeup.
The main thing for daytime makeup is good skin preparation for further makeup application. It includes the use of moisturizer, concealer, BB cream, concealer, foundation, powder and blush or bronzer.
You can create an interesting daily makeup for blue eyes with neutral shades of eyeshadow and rich eyeliner.
Stage 1: the foundation. After applying concealer or foundation on the eyelid, add a thin layer of pearlescent or satin shades of a gentle shade to it: beige, champagne, light brown. Blend in such a way that the shadows cover the entire eyelid.
Stage 2: tinting. At this stage, we use shades of a tone or two darker than the previous one. You can choose the shade of the color of milk chocolate or light beige. We add them from the folds to the fixed eyelid and blend over the outer edges of the eye, forming a sharp corner.
Stage 3: eyeliner. We choose a soft pencil of bright color: blue, blue, emerald, indigo, sea wave. We draw a neat arrow under the lower eyelid along the line of eyelash growth. The arrow should be the same width, not too narrow and not too thick. It is recommended to only slightly shade the pencil.
Stage 4: eyelashes. Carefully stain eyelashes with black or dark brown mascara. You can use invoices, if they are not too lush. Overheads should also be stained at the roots to create a uniformity with natural cilia.
To give the look depth, you can add a little highlighter to the inner corner of the eye. For daytime makeup, gentle lipsticks are suitable. The most successful options will be shades of taupe, dusty rose, light beige, champagne, light brown, flesh and lilac. Better to avoid bright tones of lipstick.
For brunettes
It is quite easy for brunettes with blue eyes to create a bright and memorable image, without using saturated shades in makeup, with the exception of large-scale evening celebrations.
Blue-eyed girls with dark hair should give preference to cold tones:
- Gray;
- Blue;
- Purple;
- Silver;
- To the lavender.
An ideal technique for blue eyes and dark hair is smoky ice. Smoky makeup perfectly complements both evening and daytime look.
However, for brunettes with blue eyes, there are contraindications. Do not use shadows in the palettes of pink, green, in some cases brown. You should also carefully select shades of blue.
Lipstick should be replaced with lip gloss or use cream texture in nude tones: beige, peach, coral, flesh.
For blondes
The palette of shadows for girls with blond hair and blue eyes is more extensive than for brunettes and brown-haired women. For daytime makeup, makeup artists advise using a small amount of makeup in delicate nuances:
- Purple
- Lilac;
- Peach;
- Pink;
- Gray.
In the evening make-up of blondes with blue eyes, shades will ideally combine:
- Burgundy;
- Brown;
- Cinnamon;
- Golden;

It is necessary to take into account the color of the skin, for example, girls with a pale tint of the epidermis are better to refrain from golden shadows. The technique of applying shadows is best used in accordance with the shape of the eye. A universal option is considered to be a relief in which tones from one palette are used, but no more than three at a time.
Strongly unsuitable for blue-eyed blondes, makeup options using saturated shades in shades:
- Turquoise
- Emerald
- Violet
- Indigo.
Lipstick is recommended to choose with a satin or pearly finish. Conventional shine with a pink or red undertone is also suitable. Matte lipsticks, on the contrary, will give the image a couple of extra years.
In pink colors, you can do makeup for blue eyes and blond hair. The make-up will turn out to be very gentle, and the time spent on its application is minimal.
