I think blue eyes really stand out with warm toned eyeshadows(yellow*gold*, orange*gold*, red, coppers, and brown colors). *I guess since they are opposite from blue/cool tones on the color wheel...* But it also all depends on what YOU like...some people can rock every color when used correctly with other colors *even if you're blonde, brunette, redhead...or whatever color of the rainbow your hair is!*
Here are a couple I've seen on blue eyes that I LOOOVE:
Honey Lust
Kid
Expensive Pink
Bamboo
Tete-A-Tint
Sable
Soft Brown
Amber Lights
Goldmine
Hope that helps!

I get a fair bit of pinkness through my cheeks which I try and tone down as much as possible. What are your recs for my ultimate MAC e/s collection? I already have quite a few, but my collection is very random, and chosen without too much thought for my skin tone etc (mostly brought online). From what I've read, I should be aiming for goldy colours, so have got Woodwinked and am also looking to get Antiqued etc...but just wondering where else I should be looking. TIA! |

Well I know almost EVERYONE loves #92 so you could try that too. It's a very distinguishable purple.

It's all a matter of what you're looking for in a shadow, hun. We could recommend every shadow under the sun, but if it's not your style, or what you're looking for, you're not going to like it. Do you want to compliment your eyes, make them pop? Do you want bright, fun colors, or more natural ones? Highlights, crease colors..?

Bronze and coppers look gorgeous and make your blue eyes really pop, think coppering, amber lights, etc. Neutral stuff that just about everyone loves; vanilla (I prefer the shadow, but the pigment is lovely too), satin taupe, espresso, carbon, soft brown, wedge, cork. I also love omega and era for doing a really natural eye. Other than that, you really can wear just about any color you want (of course some colors just don't work for everyone, because of their tone), as long as you know you look good. Hth!

Re: Eye shadow recs for blonde, blue/grey eyes NC20. I have no idea!!!
I have pretty much the same coloring as you (my skin is a bit paler), but I have grey-blue eyes. What makes them pop is warm, earthy colors.
Tan, Cocomotion, Naked and Melon pigments
Shadows with a tinge of red
Peach, yellow, gold, brown shadows
Sometimes a blue-green sea colored shadow can look great!
Certain purples make my eyes pop as well. A deep, slightly reddened purple liner might be good. I think Bordeauxline liner.
I also have a purplish mascara from Almay (meant for green eyes, I think!) that makes my eyes pop like crazy.
