It is believed that the blue eyes have romantic and gentle natures, who like to idealize the world. It is quite a good characteristic for a girl, and therefore, a beautiful iris needs to be emphasized as often as possible with the help of make-up.
If you believe colorists and makeup artists, the color of shadows for blue eyes should contrast with the iris - in this case the color will not be blurred, it will not be lost, and will stand out against a contrasting background.
Shades of shadows for blue eyes
However, there are many colors that can create a contrast with the blue - this is yellow, and orange, and light shades of crimson. Of course, these colors in make-up can not afford to every day, and not to everyone along: most likely, these bright shades will be by the way to any photo shoot or masked make-up.
In everyday life in make-up, it is better to use more muted tones and calm colors. These include:
- Brown.
- Lilac.
- Green.

These four colors underline the iris of the eye, but the choice of color should not be limited only to the iris: the shade of the skin, which can be divided into light, dark, and also cold and warm, is of no small importance. Another detail that should be considered when choosing a shade and color in the make-up is the hair color. To simplify the task, this category can be divided into 2 - light and dark hair.

Girls with a cold and light shade of skin should choose the colors of shadows with metallic luster, and, accordingly, a cold podton. Girls with a warm shade of skin fits a golden mother-of-pearl and warm shade color options.
