Enhancing Blue Eyes

dellas1979

Just after reading another thread there that suggested YSL Burgundy mascara enhanced blue eyes.

Are there any other ways/tricks to enchance blue eyes?

A friend of mine wears navy blue eyeliner (sort of purple/blue) and navy mascara and it definatley brings out her blue eyes.

Whenever i think of Blue Eyeliner though i Cant help but think of older women. i must try it though. I Dont like the thought of Wearing Blue Mascara though i did that Years ago.
They Say Puurple Eyeshadow brings out the Blue.....I used to wear it and thinkin back it kinda did.....

Heh I don't mean scary blue, it's navy blue (it can look black if I don't use much water) and put on softly, not sloshing it on

bronze and gold coloured eyeshadow will make the blues of your eyes really bright and dazzly!

I've got icy blue eyes and I find the best eyeshadows to really make them 'pop' are purples (real shimmery ones, not matt), golds (moussey ones or creamy ones) but put a very light dustin of neutral powder on first to stop it from clumpin or gathering in the fold of your eye.

Browns are good too...even though i've heard people sayin not to use really black mascara/eyeliner i find a little black eyeliner gives them a definate boost. brown/black mascara is good too though

Colors at opposite ends of the spectrum naturally enhance one another... So if you had green eyes then reddy colored eye shadows and liners would be best to make them look more green and so on.. As per the color wheel



Little tip for y'all

My eyes are a weird greeny greyey blue colour and I find wearing green eye shadow makes them look really blue and blue eyeshadow makes them look really green.

I have blue eyes and I find that peach coloured eyeshadow enhances them.If you want something darker then you can use a brown eyeshadow at the sockets of the eye but a peach on the lid and then whatever eyeliner/mascara you want to wear!

If you have greeny/blue eyes, I think blue eyeliner makes them more greeny so I wouldn't recommend that.

Dark eyeliner... brown/taupe coloured eye shadows and dark mascara- looks gorgeous on blue eyes!!

Also your clothes can enhance your eye colour... ie. wear blue tops and the like.

You beat me to it Xzanti girl!!;) I have very blue eyes and what I'd recommend if you are shopping in MAC is Copper Sparkle or Satin Taupe (the frosty one), they also do a colour called Cranberry (don't be too heavy handed though!). Depends on the shade of blue, greys are nice on me too

Just wanted to say that I went into BTs and tried the YSL No.5 (Burgundy) mascara and lets just say that I am happy I tried it before I bought it for €27!

Didnt make one bit of difference. Looked just the same as black mascara. Total waste of money in my opinion.

I have a blue mascara from Boots and it does even a better job than that YSL crap.
