It doesn't matter if the color is sparkling like the ocean or dark as a stormy sky, blue eyes always have the potential to look dazzling. The key is to use eye makeup tips that help bring the eyes out, not drown them in cosmetics.

No matter the genetics, you should always avoid using any shadow that matches your eye color. You can use a hue that's a lighter or darker than your eye color to make the eyes stand out, but using the exact same tone dulls the sparkle effect.

Help brighten those baby blues with some light eyeshadow. Creams and tans work well, as do silvers and grays. Use the light tones in combination with other, darker, hues to avoid appearing washed out. Try mixing a tiny bit of black or brown directly into the lighter eyeshadow colors to create a smoky effect.

3.Then take violet and apply it in a "v" from the middle of your eyelid to the outer corner. Blend very, very well. You want it to look like a gradual change of color, not distinct lines.

4.Line your eyes with charcoal or dark gray eyeliner.

5.Apply mascara.

You can adjust the colors to be icy pink with fuschia, light and dark turquoise, gold and taupe, gray and bright blue, light blue and bright blue, silver and bright blue, taupe and green, etc. The list goes on and on.

Using blue for makeup for blue eyes can be tricky. Experiment with the right shade lest it compete for attention with the natural blue of your eye.

Apply eye shadow along the lid as close as possible to the eyelashes and along the crease as well.

Select colored mascara like brown or dark blue and a black eyeliner.

Lipsticks - pink beiges tones compliment blue eye color.

Choose a blush color that resembles cheek color.

Eyeliners for blue eyes are better chosen in dark gray, charcoal or brown. Don't go in for jet black liners. Try smokey makeup on blue eyes with gray or purple or dark blue eye shadow. Smudge the bottom and soften the eye line. Another look is one with light bronze eye shadow and boldly coated mascara. If you want to sport a more natural look, try pale eye shadow and play with a slightly darker color. Match your eye makeup to enhance your natural coloring. The hair color also decides the color palette for blue eyes makeup.
