Blue eyes have a special charm. They just need some highlighting to give them a fairytale look. What make-up for blue eyes best enhances their beauty? And how can you create a look that no one can resist, whether you're going on a date or out for coffee with friends?

It is said that blue eyes are like a mirror. Soft, bright and unmissable. But what if you want their charm to really stand out? Make-up can be a great way to enhance their beauty without losing their naturalness. All it takes is a few clever moves, the right choice of colours and a little inspiration on make-up for blue eyes. So sit back, grab a brush and let's get to it!

Blue eyes love contrasts. To highlight their colour even more, go for shades which match blue really well. Earthy tones like copper, gold, bronze or brown give your eyes depth and create a lovely smoky eye look for blue eyes. Feel free to add an eyeliner in these colours.

If you want something more daring, try peach-orange eyeshadow. The colour is on the opposite side of the colour spectrum than blue, so it will literally make your eyes shine. For a more subtle daytime look, try eyeshadow for blue eyes in light pink or champagne tones.

How can you do make-up for blue eyes?

Start with perfect skin prepared according to your preferences. Foundation, tinted moisturiser, blusher, bronzer and highlighter. Don't forget about eyebrow styling.

STEP 1

To make sure your eyeshadow stays put, try Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. In addition to better staying power, it intensifies colours.

STEP 2

Use MAC Cosmetics Connect In Colour Eye Shadow Palette 12 shades to define your eyebrow ridge. If you have droopy eyelids, look at yourself straight on in the mirror to see how far you can go for your desired shape.

STEP 3

Colour your movable lid with gold eyeshadow, lighten the inner corner with a light apricot shade and darken the outer corner with a dark brick brown shade.

STEP 4

Using Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On-Eye, double life shade, draw a line on your upper eyelashes as well as your lower eyelid, and blend in with a brush.

STEP 5

Accentuate your eyelashes with several coats of Lancôme Lash Idôle mascara to add volume and length.
