Makeup Tips to Make Blue Eyes Pop
Blue eyes, with their hypnotic depth, deserve special attention when it comes to makeup. An ill-advised choice of color or an unsuitable eyeshadow can easily obscure the sparkle of your irises and weigh down your gaze. But don’t worry! Whether it’s for an evening, a birthday, or a wedding makeover. Our tips will allow you to achieve makeup worthy of a home beautician.
Makeup for blue eyes: which color to choose?
Highlight your blue eyes with orange shades
When it comes to applying makeup to blue eyes, follow a simple but effective rule: always choose an eyeshadow color that complements the iris and matches your color scheme. This trick creates a strong contrast, intensifying the look. For blue eyes, orange shades such as coral, peach, apricot, and salmon are ideal choices. This subtle, though sometimes bold, approach will highlight your eyes in a captivating way.
Play with contrasts: dark shades for bright eyes
Another option to enhance your blue eyes is to use dark shades. If you have light eyes, shades such as gray, taupe or dark brown can create a striking contrast. Applied as a smoky eye, these shades will highlight your eyes, making them appear lighter and giving them a captivating depth. However, note that dark shades are more suitable for evenings, as they can accentuate signs of fatigue.
Simplicity and elegance: the role of eyelashes, eyeliner and eyebrows
When choosing your pencil, eyeliner, and mascara, opt for simplicity for an elegant look. Classic colors like black or gray are recommended, with a white pencil line inside the mucous membrane to brighten the look. If your blue eyes are associated with light eyelashes, a brown mascara can be a harmonious choice. Don’t forget to pay special attention to your eyebrows by slightly redrawing their shape, filling in the spaces with a pencil or light powder, for a perfectly framed look.
Shades to avoid when you have blue eyes
Essential principle: it is strongly advised not to apply eye makeup with shades that match your natural color. Thus, the use of blue shades is to be avoided. Unlike makeup for green eyes, it is best to avoid shades such as mauve or violet, which contain blue, because they will not harmonize with the color of your eyes. Keep in mind that the goal is to highlight your eyes, so instead, choose colors that offer a subtle contrast.
Makeup Idea for the Day

Here’s how to get a sensational look in an instant:
- Apply an orange eyeshadow all over the eyelid with a soft brush.
- Extend the shadow up to the eyebrows for an irresistible gradient effect.
- Highlight the inner corner of the eye with a touch of nude beige or highlighter for instant luminosity.
- Boost it all up by adding a stroke of white pencil inside the eye.
- Accentuate your lashes with a brown pencil along the upper lash line and finish with dark brown mascara. It’s the perfect combo for a daytime look that exudes freshness and elegance!
Evening makeup idea
For a bolder look that highlights your blue eyes, opt for a more pronounced evening makeup look. A palette dedicated to smoky eyes with dark and vibrant shades will be your ideal ally.
- Apply a brown-toned eyeshadow all over the lid, then blend with your fingertips to the crease for a seamless transition.
- Intensify by placing a darker shadow but in the same palette in the outer corner of the eye, going slightly up towards the arch with a soft brush.
- Create a captivating look by drawing a black or dark brown line along the upper lash line for a doe-eyed effect.
