Make Blue Eyes Pop. (Neutrals)

Hi guys!
I've been M.I.A. for a while now but I'm finally back.

Today's post is all about making your blue eyes pop. Blue eyes really look great paired with oranges, golds and warm browns. I've come up with two pretty simple makeup looks that anyone could do. Also, each of these looks kind of go off of each other. I started simple and just added a bit more to each look to make it transition from day to night.
*I don't have blue eyes, so you'll have to use your imagination a bit.



This first look is a super simple 3 step process. It's perfect for anyone who is in a hurry or someone who doesn't really like to wear much makeup. All I did was use a peachy colored eyeshadow primer all over my lid. Then I added some medium toned brown eyeliner to my upper lashline and waterline. Lastly, I threw on some dark brown mascara & I was done. So simple!



For the second look I already had a peach primer on so I added some gold eyeshadow on top of that. I took a medium, orange toned brown lightly into my crease. I also added just a little more eyeliner to darken it up more.



For this last look, I added a dark brown into the crease to deepen up the look. I also added more eyeliner to the upper lashline and put the same dark eyeshadow I used in the crease, on the lower lashline. I added a light champagne color into the inner corner of my eye to brighten that area up some. Lastly, I used black mascara as opposed to the dark brown to add a little more drama.


There are a ton of products on the market made for specific eye colors now. Here are a couple products that I recommend:

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin.
Urban Decay Naked Palette.
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Bourbon.
Aveda Petal Essence Single Eye Color in Lemon Spice.
Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips Eye Enhancing Gel Liner for Blue Eyes.
Maybelline Eye Studio Color Plush Silk Eyeshadow Palette in Give Me Gold.
Maybelline ExpertWear Eyeshadow Palette in Sunlight Bronze and Chai Latte.
L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara in Black Brown.


Well, I hope this helps! If you try any of these looks, let me know!
Thanks for reading!
