Look 1: Daytime makeup for blue eyes

After applying an eyeshadow base, apply a brown, warm-toned eyeshadow: Eyeshadow N°208 is an excellent choice for highlighting your blue eyes. For a precise application, grab an eyeshadow brush and blend the eyeshadow using the All in One Eyeshadow Brush for a soft look.

Highlights make your eyes look bigger

Applying a light Champagne shade—such as Eyeshadow N°211—to the inner eye corners is the perfect way to accentuate your blue eyes. Want to amp up the intensity? No problem! Spray your eyeshadow brush with a fixing spray to increase the color payoff.

Eyeliner and mascara for full lashes

To put the finishing touches on your daytime makeup, apply a bronze-toned eyeliner to your upper lash line to make your lashes look thicker and fuller. Finally, apply mascara. It’s best to go with a brown shade, which will flatter your iris and make your makeup look more natural.

Look 2: Blue eyeliner and blush

Blusher N°10 is a neutral pink shade that harmonizes perfectly with the blue eyeliner used in the next step. Use an angled brush to apply the blush, starting from the inside of your face and moving outwards. By applying the blush further away from the center of your face, you’ll make your face appear more lifted.

Blue shades for blue eyes?

Birds of a feather flock together—that applies here, too. Using blue shades is an excellent way of making your blue eyes really stand out.

  1. Choose a blue eyeliner and begin at the outer edge of your upper lash line. Draw a small, vertical line in the direction of your eyebrow.
  2. Connect the end of the line to the middle of your mobile lid. Fill in the gaps with the eyeliner.
  3. Draw another thin line towards the inner eye corner and connect the two points.

Finally, use kajal or an eyeshadow to add fullness to your upper and lower lash line. The High Performance Eyeshadow Stylo N°21 not only adds warmth to your evening makeup for blue eyes, but is also smudge-proof and waterproof for long-lasting beauty. Round it off by applying a black mascara to your upper and lower lashes for a dramatic look.
