Facebook Question: Blue Eyes

Q: How can I make my blue eyes pop? What colors do you think I should use?

The eyeshadow colors: Browns, tans and bronze eye shadows look amesome with blue eyes. You can also use a blue or brown mascara that enhances the eyes.

Browns makes blue stand out because they are complimentary colors, meaning that on a col...or wheel they are direct opposites. Therefore, when the two colors are put together it draws attention to your blue eyes. Also throwing in a blue shirt, a blue necklace or one blue accent accessory can be another "popping" factor in your blue eyed look. :)

Tips for your eyes!

•  Keep pencil eyeliner from smudging by going over the line with matching powder eyeshadow.
• Another way to line your eyes: Use your favorite deep- toned eyeshadow, wet or dry, with an eyeliner  brush.
• Use a white pencil to line the inner edge of the eye to make whites and eyes look, brighter and bigger; and to hide any redness.
•  Keep a magnifying mirror nearby to check your work.
•  Shadow won’t stay? Powder lids before you apply your colors.
• Apply an Eye Base first if color settles into crepey areas or lines.
• Less is more! It’s easier to build color up layer by layer than to erase too much.
• Clean up slips and smudges as you work with q-tips moistened in eye makeup remover.
