Makeup tips for blue eyes

Pick the right eye shadow

For the office, stick with eye shadow in brown, rose, lavender and neutral shades. For a special date, blue-eyed women can try metallics (both silver and gold work well), turquoise and icy pink.

Experiment for evening

For evening, dark blue mascara looks fabulous on blue eyes, especially when paired with smudged charcoal eyeliner. Try smoky eye makeup using gray, dark blue or purple shadow.

"For blue eyes, choose dark blue (the dark blue tones help to bring out the natural blue tones in your eyes), grey, silver, violet or lavender," says SheKnows Beauty Expert Nina Sutton. "For night time, blue combined with black is a great look. For eyeliner or mascara, try navy instead of black for a dramatic, yet less intense look," she says.

Tone down your lips

Emphasize your gorgeous blue eyes, whether they are pale blue or deep sapphire, by toning down your lip color. Pick a matte lipstick in a peachy brown shade. For your cheeks, add a light sweep of blush in a very natural hue.
