The Best Eye Shadow Colors for Blue Eyes

As a general rule, those with blue eyes should look for eye makeup in gray, violet, taupe, purple, and deep blue. Many have found using a dark shade of blue will actually bring out the more natural blue tones in your eyes; giving you a brighter and more vibrant look.
If you are looking for an edgier or more dramatic evening look, mixing black liner with a bright blue will give you a classic ???
smoky??? effect. You can also throw in some silver, fuschia, or turquoise if you are going out and want a funky nighttime feel.
Those with blue eyes have the distinct advantage of being able to wear a wide array of
eyeshadow colors without a lot of mishaps. Blue eyes are agreeable to many shades, however, the ones listed above are the ones proven to be among the best.
Violets and lavenders are most recommended for those possessing a combination of baby blues and blonde hair. This is because a light purple is the most flattering for most blondes who tend to have fairer skin than those with darker hair.
You can use violet on the creases of your eyelids as well as on the lid in general. A lighter lavender above the crease will give you a more dramatic look
for evenings. More neutral colors are ideal for daytime, but it's always fun to wear purple no matter what the time or season!
For those blessed with naturally red hair, brown shades will tend to work better on your blue eyes. Since your hair is already such a vibrant color, your skin
tone and eyes will demand a more natural looking shadow.
Tans and browns can flatter the shape and shade of your eyes without overpowering your hair or other features. In the evenings, adding a gold shimmer is a great finishing touch for those with gorgeous, fiery hair and contrasting blue eyes.
