Blue eyes can be intensified with copper, peach, rust, and gold shadows.
At one point everyone had brown eyes but a genetic mutation caused the melanin produced in the iris to reduce, and caused the brown shade to lighten into blue. (http://www.livescience.com/health/080131-blue-eyes.html)  Blue is a beautiful color with calming effects, maybe because it reminds us of the ocean. There are many colors that can be used to accentuate and play up such a great feature!

A few more products that work well with blue eyes…
Accentuate blue eyes with these makeup tips 🙂
- Try white eyeliner or a shimmering silver one on your lower lash line to open eyes rather than black liner which makes eyes appear smaller.
- Blue eyeshadow doesn’t do much to play up your eyes so use with caution. Frost icy blue looks nice just on your lid, on the tear duct and below your lash line.
- Use brown mascara for a softer look and black mascara for a more dramatic effect.
- Dark green, navy blue, deep purple, or grey eyeliner also looks great around blue eyes.
- Keep the rest of your makeup minimal to draw attention to those blue peepers.
- Soft pink and peachy eye shadows blend well with blue eyes.
- Try grey eyeshadow instead of black for a more subtle smoky eye look.
- Purple shades look beautiful on blue eyes, as well as teal.
