The first basic rule: playing with contrasts helps give depth to your gaze; while this applies to all eye colors, it is especially true for blue eyes and blonde hair. That being said, the possibilities that open up when the irises are light are truly endless. Here, we try to give you a few tips that can make a difference in the final result.
Smokey Eyes for Blue Eyes and Blonde Hair – Yes or No?
The answer is obvious: yes! Some interesting trends come from the catwalks. It’s not just the usual black, which is a versatile shade, but also the entire palette of dark and light browns, including variations ranging from bronze to peachy, even mixed with classic metallic colors. With blue eyes, you can also go for shades of purple and blue, combined with black for a more eye-catching effect. In short, let your imagination run wild!
Nude Makeup
If you have blonde hair and blue eyes, natural shades on the eyes and lips are highly recommended. They are not, in fact, exclusive to brown eyes. The important thing is to choose how to apply them in a way that enhances and highlights the irises. We suggest pairing them with a dark pencil for the eye contour, which makes the gaze more interesting – an infraciliary makeup (lining just below the lashes) works well too.
Pencils and Eyeliners for Blue Eyes and Blonde Hair Makeup
Speaking of dark eye pencils, know that they are your best allies! Make eyeliner your best friend: current makeup trends favor classic or graphic cat eyes in black. This makeup look works in favor of those with blue eyes, highlighting them thanks to the contrast of color.
The Role of Mascara
Never forget mascara, as it “opens” the gaze and adds light to the entire makeup, whether it’s a daytime or evening look. A good mascara is a key element in blue eyes and blonde hair makeup. In fact, it can make the gaze more intense while remaining a subtle and elegant makeup element.
