Which eyeshadow color enhances blue eyes?

Are you wondering which eyeshadow looks best on blue eyes? There is an important beauty rule for blue eyes: the darker the blue of your eyes, the stronger the colors can be. Darker shades perfectly emphasize the depth of your blue eyes. Do you like experimenting with multiple shades? Then we recommend practical eyeshadow palettes with several coordinated colors. But be careful not to use too many different shades from different color groups, as this can quickly make your look appear too colorful.

Your eyes shine in mysterious green? Then you can consider yourself very lucky, because green is the rarest of all eye colors. And it’s also very versatile, as you can wear almost any eyeshadow color perfectly with green eyes! Our tip for you: Match your eyeshadow to your hair color. Dark hair allows for darker eyeshadows.

Which eyeshadow colors are suitable for hooded eyelids?

A good base

A primer can prevent eyeshadow from creasing – this extends its wear on the eyelid.

When choosing colors for hooded eyelids, you should keep in mind that light and neutral colors can visually open the eye and make it appear more awake. You can apply these colors well as a base over the entire eyelid. Shimmery or glittery colors on the movable eyelid can also help to conceal hooded eyelids. They reflect light and draw more attention to the eyelid.

Some darker tones in the crease and at the outer corner of the eye, on the other hand, create depth and dimension. Taupe, soft brown, or gray tones are especially ideal for this. Make sure to blend the colors well to avoid harsh lines. The color can extend slightly beyond the natural crease so that it remains visible when the eye is open.
