What color eyeshadow should I wear to make my blue eyes pop?

A common question among my clients is "What color eyeshadow should I wear to make my blue eyes pop?"  

Complementary colors create maximum contrast. Complementary colors are those opposite one another on a color wheel. So if we look at a color wheel, blue is directly opposite orange. 

Not many of us would choose to wear orange eyeshadow, but will definitely consider shades within the orange family.  Colors such as copper, bronze and peach are all excellent choices for a blue-eyed beauty.

Be sure to begin with a good eyeshadow base.  Not only does it help the shadow adhere, it gives you a smooth working surface and allows for easy blending.  

I prefer to lay down a neutral layer of shadow over the entire lid in a shade similar to the skin tone.  Then I begin with my lighter neutrals (beige/peach) working my way up to the deeper tones. 

I top off the look with a shimmer in bronze or copper, maybe a hint of gold and a champagne under the brow.  I apply a good coat of mascara, and viola!  Sparkling blue eyes.  

So have fun, experiment and see which colors really do make those eyes as blue as the morning sky!
