Also please state if your referring to eyeliner or eyeshadow or whatever.What colour eye make-up looks good with dark blue eyes?
If black is too harsh, try a toned down black, or grey. i have dark eyes too, and fair skin, i either do that or browns and tans.What colour eye make-up looks good with dark blue eyes?
These quick and easy steps will help you choose the perfect eye makeup for those beautiful blue eyes.
# Choose an eye shadow that complements your blue eyes. Shades in the brown, rose and violet families are best. The warm hue of these shades contrasts with the cold tone of your blues to really make them pop. Use a shade that is darker in tone than your eye color to make your baby blues shine.
# Select a brown shade of eyeliner. The harshness of traditional, black liner will take away from the natural beauty of blue eyes. Choose a dark or medium brown liner to highlight blue tones.
# Use brown or brown/black mascara. Any mascara will naturally open and brighten your eyes. However, a natural, brownish shade will do it without drawing attention away from the blue color of your eyes.
# Apply a light or neutral tone blush and lip color. Keeping the rest of your makeup minimal will naturally draw attention to your eyes.
# For a smoky, sultry look use dark, grey tone shadows and liners that do not compete with the blue of your eyes.
To look more awake
light eyeshadow on innereye (near tearduct)
white eyeliner on bottom rim of eyes
CoverGirl Advanced Radiance foundation makes my face look brighter, younger and more awake
curl lashes with an eyelash curler (at base and curl in middle, hold about 15 seconds each time)
eye makeup
look at almay section in drugstores/target/walmart to see which colors they recommend for your eye color, then if you want buy those colors in a different brand, like Maybelline since it's cheaper. I have blue eyes and I love sunlit bronze (the four color one) by Maybelline. I'm been using it for years and always get compliments on my eyes because of it. It brings the color out wonderfully
I first put wet and wild eyeliner (black) underneath the shadow to make lashes seem fuller and darker. Since it's under the shadow it just looks darker, but if you mess up the eyeliner line it's fine since no one can actually see it. It blends nicely with sunlit bronze.
I then use dark blue eyeliner on the lower rim, but only on the outer half. This prevents it from looking like it's too much, and makes your eyes look wider/bigger.
Things i recommend
max factor volume couture or stretch and seperate
the waterproof mascaras by maxfactor are really really waterproof, which is great for summer time, but the downside is they are pretty hard to get off your lashes, but they DO define, give a lot of volume and length so I guess it's worth it.
Maybelline sunlit bronze eyeshadow
burt's bees or softlips lip balm
neutrogena sheer block sunscreen 55 is a keeper!!! but, if you want a daily moisturizer I recommend neutrogena healthy skin moisturizer spf 30 or 45!!
wet and wild eyeliners 鈥?cheapest, but work well
CG advanced radiance restorative cream foundation with a makeup sponge (at target)- blends really nicely and matches my skin tone perfectly! I'm 19 so I don't need the restorative part, but it was on sale lol.
When picking eyeshadow colors you should use color theory. And the colors that are going to make your eye color pop is the complimentary color, the complimentary color of blue is Orange, so anything with an orange hue is going to make your eye pop so burnt browns, ambers, orange-green, etc. Here is mor information on color theory. http://www.color-wheel-pro.com/color-the鈥?/a>
I have a friend who has dark blue eyes, and her eye make up always looks fantastic.The trick is wear a blue eyes shadow a darker shade than your actually colour and this immediately bring out your eyes.Taupe, grey, violet, and purple are also eye shadow colours that suit blue eyes. x
Brown works...but you cant try all different colors just to see. I have blue eyes and green looks really bad on me. I try and wear browns but I also love blues. You can try silvers and greys since black is too harsh. Also try going to a trusted make up counter and see what they say.
I have light blue/gray eyes and all i wear is pinks/smokey/purples...
but...I don't see why those wouldnt work. Have you tried tans? There is the prettiest tans with shimmer in them at MAC.
I always do a hot pink over my entire eye lid...then in my crease mix a dark purple with a gray shimmer...then a highlight on my brow...and of course MAC ZOOM LASH mascara! ITS THE BEST!
i would actually never wear green. Dark browns really bring out blue eyes. If you live near a Sephora, there is a brand called ';PoP'; that has eye shadows tailored for blue eyes. It's only around $30, which is good for eye shadow. I would never wear blue shadow with blue eyes.
i think you should do a thin black line on top of your eyes
then do a darker brown in the corners and then go out lighter blending it in
it will make your eyes stand out :)

Depending On Your Style, Dark Gray Or Black Looks Good Or Even White Looks Really Good And Makes Your Eyes Pop.
If you don't like black (as it can be quite harsh), go for a grey, silver, or brown. I'm referring to eyeshadow.
