Re: Mac eyeshadows that go with blue eyes???

I am glad you asked this question! For some strange reason, all the youtube tutorials I like, have brown eyed girls, so I was curious if the same eyeshadows would look good on me also.

Which ones did you find did NOT look good on you, (from your list)

I would like to know which ones to not go out and buy

I love Vibrant Grape as an option. Most purples actually

i'll second the beautiful iris, bronze, and fresh green mix suggestions.

brightside/gallery gal MES is a good one to have too.

gorgeous gold + club + humid is a nice combo for blue eyes, too, imo (though i guess mine are kind of a blue/grey?)

star violet, folie, and sable might also be good for you.

hth!

I found silverthorn on Uk website so im definetely getting that one! Not so sure about yellow one, last time i tried goldmine and my eyes looked too reddish, like i didnt get enough sleep! Thinking about beautiful iris too (for now im just using violet pigment - its gorgeous over blackground paintpot).

i didnt really like goldmine (i know lots of people love it!) as it made my eyes look reddish and tired, dont like pink venus at all (it has really poor colour payoff and it doesnt do anything for my blue eyes, and its between the most hated eyeshadows too, lol) and not so big fan of stars n rockets too (but maybe i just dont know which colour to pair with it properly).

but i absolutely love amber lights!!!! and all browns on my list (especially woodwinked)!

The true green looks close to Wondergrass, which would be fantastic on blue eyes. If no, try Bio-Green(Pro) Blues prob. not make your eyes pop, but some beautiful blues are; Deep Truth, Atlantic Blue, Clairty or Electric eel, Aquadisiac Purples: purples with red understones will make yours eyes "pop" more. Something like Nocturnelle, Hepcat, Trax, Fig 1., creme de violet. Grape pigment is a must have imo. Stars and rockets is a good one too. Greens: Soemthing similar to wondergrass, Bottle Green, Humid, Brown Green Pigment would be lovely, Sumptous Olive (if you can find it), The perm dupe for Mink & Sable... i'm forgetting the name right now... I think most pinks would be lovely on you too. Also check out "Burnt Burgundy" Pigment (pro) it's so fantastic on all eye colours

Thank you!!! i'm definetely getting sumptous olive (its on our Uk page)!

Re: Mac eyeshadows that go with blue eyes???

I have blue/ grey eyes and I love golden olive pigment. It's amazing. I use it with amber lights to tone it down as the colour of that is overpowering on me.

Sharp - from the tempting cult of cherry quad is a gorgeous yellow-green if you want to go for more yellow without going completely yellow.

And silvers are awesome, silverthorn is an especially awesome silver if you can still get it. Also, love family silver and silversmith MES duos.

Re: Mac eyeshadows that go with blue eyes???

Personally, I think it doesn't matter what color eyes you have, you can rock any color eyeshadow you want. Granted, certain colors will compliment your eyes, or make them pop, but if you've got the confidence to pull it off, then wear whatever color makes you happy.

Advice pls... pale, blonde & blue eyes

Hello!
I'm looking for some colour reccomendations..

I am VERY pale. NW15 is barely light enough for me, I have to make sure I blend it into my neck very well for it to look natural.

I love the 'made-up' look, but as I'm so pale, I feel smokey eyes/heavy liner could look a bit much on me? I'd love to see some pictures to convince me otherwise and for inspiration, I can't find too many! I tend to wear greys and browns for shadows, and I line my top lid with fluidline in black.

I'm looking for some blush, shadow, lips and technique reccomendations.

I currently have:

Fluidline (black)
Studio Fix Fluid in NC15 and NW15 (I only really wear NW)
Cork
Idol eyes
Vanilla (for highlighting, Shroom doesn't show up on me)
Electra
Amber Lights
Lipglass in Prrr


I'm looking for products to help create a day look, and a night look. I have trouble lining all around my eyes, because if I like the bottoms, I feel as if it can look too 'strong' on me.. So some techniques on how to do it subtly would be wonderful!

Right now my daily blush is NARS Orgasm. Looking to find a new HG in MAC.

Here's a pic of me with only a little makeup on, just to get an idea of my 'look'.


Thank you!

Re: Advice pls... pale, blonde & blue eyes

I am pale too, and I wear it all! If you find black eyeliner is too drastic to line your whole eye, try a brown shade. I find it works better on me. Or just line to outer 1/3 or 1/2 of your eye (top and bottom). It helps soften things. When I wear black liner I only line my top lashline too.
Be experimental, have fun playing around.
