If you have blue eyes, then surely you have attracted a lot of attention because of the uniqueness of this eye color. But if you really want to make your blue eyes stand out more, then you have to wear the right makeup and clothes. If you follow these easy steps, you will be able to make your blue eyes stand out more in no time.
Step
Step 1. Apply concealer around the eyes and face
If you want to highlight your eyes, then you have to put concealer under your eyes so that your eyes show their beauty, and not show dark circles. Remember to use a concealer that is a shade or two lighter than your skin tone, and use a concealer specifically for dark circles under your eyes if necessary. Here's how to use concealer properly:
- Make a few dots using concealer around the dark circles that are under your eyes and blend by patting it gently.
- Next make a dot using concealer on the inner corner of the eye. Pat your skin.
- You can also add a little concealer to your nose or cheeks to cover blemishes on your face.
- Remember to blend the concealer by patting it in with your fingers or using a makeup brush, not rubbing it in.
Step 2. Apply a base coat on your face
After applying concealer around your eyes, a base coat will help even out your skin tone, which will make people focus on your eyes.
- You can use a sponge or brush to apply the base coat.
- You don't have to apply it all over your face. Just focus on the parts of the face that are uneven in color.
- Check your hairline and jawline to make sure there are no obvious foundation lines.
Step 3. Add a little shimmer to your face
Shimmers are a fun way to add a bit of glamor to a more casual look and to draw more attention to yourself. Use a brush to apply the shimmer on your face and only apply it to some parts of your face, like the cheeks and eyes, otherwise your look will be too intense.
If you want to add shimmer to your eyes, you can use a thin brush to apply a light cream/powder eyeshadow to the inner corner of your eye. Then you can run the brush as close to the lower lash line as possible while making a thin line of shimmer on the upper eyelid
Step 4. Use the right eye shadow
The trick to bringing out your eyes is to apply eyeshadow that is the opposite color of yours, on the color wheel. If your eyes are blue, then the color opposite to blue is orange. You might find it silly to go with pure orange, but using an eye shadow that is similar in color to orange, like bronze or copper, can make your blue eyes stand out in contrast.
- You can also choose terracotta color as an eye shadow color that will make your blue eyes stand out.
- If you dare, of course you can use orange to highlight your eyes. You can choose a darker or a shimmery orange to make your look less flashy.
- Use eye shadow shades of purple. While blue eyes don't stand out in blue or green tones, your eyes can stand out with the help of a little purple. All shades of purple, from amethyst to deep purple, are great for accentuating your blue eyes.
- Some blue eyes even look very unattractive with purple. If you have eyes that are light blue/baby blue, and maybe a touch of gray, go for pinks and golds. These colors will not only make your blue eyes the center of attention compared to the rest of your face, but they will also take away the coldness from your eyes, and make them look warm to make them look happy and cheerful. (optional: Pair this eye shadow look with highlights, which are off-white or off-white or very light skin tones, on the inner corners of your eyes. Then draw a line on the waterline (lower eye line). with white on the inner third/half of the eye, and a bronze/bronze or brown color on the outer third/half of the eye. Blend the two colors lightly in the middle. I recommend the Wet 'n' Wild brand of eyeshadow which Mink Brown color.)
- Make a neutral smoky eye makeup. Instead of putting on a regular smoky eye look, go for a neutral smoky eye look with bold browns, golds, and pinks to accentuate your blue eyes.
Step 5. Apply the correct tint
To apply shadow to the under eye line, use your finger and place it under your eye. Lower the skin under your eye a little, then with the other hand, use the brush to draw a line on the line under the eye.
- Try using a regular bronze shade for daytime makeup, and a dark bronze eye shadow for evening makeup.
- Use a beige shade to brighten your eyes. Avoid white tint because it will make your eyes look pale.
- If you like using blue tones, go for a turquoise tint and pair it with a navy blue mascara to highlight your eyes.
Step 6. Apply brown mascara on the upper and lower lashes
Applying a little more mascara to the sides of your lashes (the side closest to your ears) will make your eyes look longer and thicker.
Brown mascara will make the blue color in your eyes stand out more. If you like using black mascara, try a very dark brown or even a black navy blue
Step 7. Accentuate your eyes by wearing the right clothes and accessories
The same rules for using color opposites on the color wheel also apply to your clothes. If you want to make your blue eyes stand out, you should wear bronzes and other shades of orange, as well as purple, to make your eyes stand out.
- You can also wear clothes that are blue so people will see the color of your clothes as the color of your eyes. Wearing clothes that are blue won't fade the blue of your eyes the way blue eye shadow will.
- If you don't have blue in your outfit, wear a blue necklace or earrings to bring out the color in your eyes.
- If you really want to accentuate your blue eyes, make sure your hair doesn't cover your eyes, and if you have bangs, make sure they're styled sideways.
Step 8. Done
Tips
- Keep your eyebrows tidy by plucking them regularly, so they don't attract more attention than your blue eyes.
- When applying shimmer to your face, apply it to your chin, cheeks, forehead and nose. This will give a calm and natural look.
- Applying shimmer to the face is an optional step.
