    Every eye colour looks fabulous wearing a sultry, smokey eye, darlings. For blue eyes, I love to use blue, silver and copper eyeshadows to create a classic smokey eye look with magical, metallic sparkle. To perfect the look of smokey eyeshadow for blue eyes, I recommend taking a neutral eyeshadow and carving out your crease, then adding definition to the outer corners with a darker shade to create that grungy, rock chick effect.

    Green eyeshadow for blue eyes

    If your eyes have a unique greenish-blue tint, you can emphasise their subtle green tones with green eyeshadow. Green is blue’s neighbour on the colour wheel which means the two are extremely compatible, allowing blue and green tones to transition freely into one another and create a complementary colour bond. You can use green eyeshadow as a beauty trick that helps blue eyes to appear less icy. It also pairs beautifully with brown earth tones which can be a wonderful way to ground your eyeshadow look for blue eyes. The shades in my Palette of Beautifying Eye Trends in Emerald Effect will look mesmerising on blue eyes! For a bold green eyeshadow look wear emerald sparkle all over your lids, or try an olive green like golden green for a smokier look.

    Dark eyeshadow for blue eyes

    Contrast is the secret to eye makeup that pops, darlings, and playing with light and dark hues on your eyes can help your eye colour to shine even brighter. Blue eyes often lean on the lighter side in comparison to deep brown eyes, so reaching for a dark eyeshadow colour is a wonderful way to accentuate their appearance. Dark brown, black brown and charcoal shades are perfect companions for blue eyes - take the deeper shades from my Super Nudes Easy Eye Palette and swing them through your crease to create a dreamy, diffused gradient of dark eyeshadow. Just like that, darlings, the blues in your eyes will glow!
