Blue Eyes

When it comes to blue eyes, warm coppery tones are the best bet. They will complement the eyes making them look bluer than usual. Other options that blue eyes can try are other shades of blue like sky blue or ocean blue. If you want to do smokey eye, using brown eyeshadow will be much more flattering than the traditional black, which may look a bit gothic–unless that’s what you’re going for.
