Makeup trends are all about self-expression, and while you need to do what you love, particular looks can make your blue eyes appear bolder and brighter.
Remember the color wheel? Harper's Bazaar recommends going for bronze shadows with an orange undertone to make your blue eyes pop. Celebrity makeup artist Ricky Wilson told the publication, "This is because orange is the opposite of blue on the color wheel," and added that using complementary colors side-by-side can make your eyes look more vibrant. Byrdie seconds this helpful tip and recommends the Natasha Denona Sunset Eyeshadow Palette to create a range of sunset-inspired looks by blending reds, bronzes, and oranges together. You might not have thought of this, but orange eyeshadow is perfect for blue eyes.
Black eyeliner can be a bit harsh for blue eyes; therefore, choosing a navy liner is the perfect neutral option because the dark blue color can accentuate your eyes even more. YSL Crushliner in Bleu Enigmatique is the perfect option because this long-lasting eye pencil can create precise lines or smoky shadows. To create smoldering, smoky eyes, opt for warm browns and deep espressos to create a dramatic effect. Remember, black can be unforgiving on your lighter features. Editorialist recommends Urban Decay Naked3 Eyeshadow Palette as it has a range of smooth mattes for base, as well as shimmer finishes to highlight so you can decide how dark you want to go.
