When it comes to eyeshadow for blue eyes, warm shades like orange, brown, peach, and terracotta are recommended, along with shimmery champagne. Additionally, lighter greens such as turquoise and teal complement blue eyes, while darker, more intense shades like emerald green may be overwhelming. Here are some specific eyeshadow shades that can make blue eyes pop:
- Colourpop Super Shock Shadow in Coconut: a bright satin-y teal
- Gold eyeshadow: this can boost the natural gilded sparkle in blue eyes. Max Factors Masterpiece Nude Eyeshadow Palette in Golden Nudes offers a spectrum of shimmering gold shades.
- Mink-brown eyeshadow: this is a great everyday eyeshadow for blue eyes. The chocolate hue draws out gold flecks in your irises, while the rosy, mauve-y undertone keeps color fresh and modern. Wild Shadow Pot in Burnt Bark is a one-wash wonder that’s packed with pigment.
Its also worth noting that blues complementary color is orange, so warm or blue-based tones like ruby-rose, peach, and terracotta can make blue eyes pop. On the other hand, yellow and green hues dont do blue eyes justice, and some metallic shades like bold purples and yellow-gold tend to make blue eyes look dull.
