The Best Makeup for Blue Eyes

emirates7 - There are no strict rules when it comes to makeup, which is one of the reasons it's so beloved. Makeup is the ultimate tool for self-expression, allowing you to experiment freely with your look. However, that freedom can sometimes feel overwhelming. You might know the effect you want—like achieving a sun-kissed glow, camouflaging a blemish, or ensuring your makeup stays intact during a sweaty commute—but not be sure how to achieve it.

For those with blue eyes, you've likely tried using makeup to make your eyes stand out at some point.

Celebrity makeup artists suggest that choosing the right shades of eyeshadow, liner, and mascara is one of the easiest ways to enhance blue eyes. From berry mascaras to peachy eyeshadows, here are the top eye makeup picks to make your blue eyes pop.

**Best Makeup Colors for Blue Eyes**
Selecting the right eyeshadow shade is one of the most effective ways to accentuate blue eyes—or any eye color—and it all comes down to a bit of color theory. Fortunately, you might already be familiar with this concept from elementary school art class.

According to a makeup artist, it’s all about using complementary colors from the color wheel. For those who need a reminder, complementary colors are found opposite each other on the color wheel, while analogous shades are next to each other.

In this case, red and orange hues are opposite blue on the wheel. If these shades seem too bold for your taste, don’t worry—they translate differently when it comes to eye makeup. The makeup artist suggests using these tones as a guide for undertones, opting for shades like copper, brown, gold, and peach to enhance blue eyes. In essence, earth-toned shadows and liners are ideal for making blue eyes stand out.

“Often, less is more with blue eyes,” he advises. “Light-colored eyes naturally contrast, so even a subtle touch of color can enhance them without being overpowering.”
