So funny that I was just coming in here to post pretty much this exact same thing

I have blue eyes and red hair and I cannot wear purple at all except Sketch as a liner but I don't consider that purple.

Anyway, I wear blue a lot especially as a liner (Flashtrack or Deep Truth) since I find that black on me is too harsh. I'm quite liking silvery grey on me at the moment (Silver Ring and Electra) and I love greens!!!! I use Swimming, Golder's Green p/g, Golden Olive p/g, Emerald p/g, Humid, Wondergrass and Sumptuous Olive all the time and get lots of compliments. Copper is a really good colour too. I'll uses Naked Lunch, All That Glitters, Mulch and Shroom and then line with Copper and the blue really stands out.

I've been told that browns and oranges really bring out blue eyes.

Re: Green shadows on blue eyes?

I love green on my blue eyes!!!! I use all shade including Wondergrass, Swimming, Humid, Sprout, Golders Green, Golden Olive, Emerald and Forest Greens.

I get so many compliments when I wear greens. I've given up listening to the "rules" and wear what I like.

Re: Green shadows on blue eyes?

Just to add to this that I decided based on this thread to wear greens today. I'm wearing Wondergrass, Sprout, Humid, and Emerald p/g as a liner. I got to work at 8am and by the time school started at 8:45 I'd had 4 different people (including men) comment on how bright my eyes were today. Since then I've had a few students (girls only) comment on my eyes.

Green on Blue is a definite go!!!

Recommendations for redhead with blue eyes please! Clueless with colours!!

I would really love some help with a few ideas for some different complete makeup looks for daytime and evening (i.e. co-ordinating blush/eye colour/lip colour. I have a nightmare as I never know which colours to buy.

I have dark auburn/red hair (I have posted a pic) and NW20 skin with dark blue eyes.

People on makeup counters are always trying to put products on me that make my skin look orange which I HATE

In clothing terms I think I suit white rather than beige shades (which wash me out). I look good in blue and fresh colours rather than muted ones.

I am particularly looking for a really nice blush colour. I saw a lovely one on the redhead woman in 'How to Lose a Guy in ten days'. It looked like a browny/red burnt colour.

The only blush I really suit is Benefit 'Benetint'.

Can anyone help?? Thanks x

Re: Recommendations for redhead with blue eyes please! Clueless with colours!!

um, the fastest thing I can recommend is that you search the FOTD forum for any of my FOTDs*, as I'm redheaded and blue eyed.

Then you can just see what you like and try those colors/combinations.

As for blush, I prefer Ablaze or Nars Orgasm.

hth.

*God that sounds egotistical.

Re: Recommendations for redhead with blue eyes please! Clueless with colours!!

I would try blues purples and greens for the eyes. For a rich colored blush, try Laid Back blushcreme by MAC. It's a chocolate berry color. I would also try rich golden colors on the eyes as well. That's all that comes to mind, but I would go to sites like bobbibrown.com and maccosmetics.com and do a live chat and tell them you dilema and they will put as many looks together for you as you would like! Hope this helps and good luck!

Re: Recommendations for redhead with blue eyes please! Clueless with colours!!

I love Bronze shadow as a liner, I wear tons of greens too (Swimming, Humid, Sprout, Wondergrass ...)

I also wear greys, and lots of browns too. Okay so I'm no help whatsoever other than to say try them all

The blush I wear is Springsheen but I'm a lighter redhead then you are.

Re: Recommendations for redhead with blue eyes please! Clueless with colours!!

I was going to suggest looking at Shimmer's fotds!!

Re: Recommendations for redhead with blue eyes please! Clueless with colours!!

You'd look fantastic in greens and bronzes/coppers. But really, check out Shimmer's FOTDs - she does great stuff!

Re: Recommendations for redhead with blue eyes please! Clueless with colours!!

I agree, Shimmer's looks are fantastic! I'm also a red-head with blue eyes but I have a yellowish, rather than pinkish tone to my skin so I don't know if what I wear will work for you but you could check out my FOTDs too (though they are in no way as good as Shimmer). I like to play around with color so you might see a color combo you like.

Re: Green shadows on blue eyes?

I'm pale with blue eyes and I love juxt, swimming and humid.

Re: Green shadows on blue eyes?

I love green on my blue eyes! (although I rarely have the guts to wear green eyeshadow, just cause I hate standing out at college, but thats a whole other story...) Humid looks good on me, and then the time I got the most compliments about my eyes 'popping' I was just wearing Milani 'Garen Mist' all over my lid... I've been told it's comprable to Mac Lucky Green or possibly Juxt.

Eyeshadow recs for blue eyes, blonde hair?

I have fair skin with cool undertones and I'm thinking I would be NW20. What would be some good neutrals and shadows to make my eyes pop.

Re: Eyeshadow recs for blue eyes, blonde hair?

I was recommended Woodwinked and All That Glitters to make my blue eyes pop. I'd also try Amber Lights and Coppering.
