What products do you guys reccomend to make your eyes look big and pop! (blue eyes)?

I have blue eyes and I don't like wearing alot of make-up (right now I do, but it consumes alot of time)


I want to look natural, but I don't mind shadow, mascara, and liner.


Help?What products do you guys reccomend to make your eyes look big and pop! (blue eyes)?
Getting this from and artice in the magazine People style watch:





Article was about what colors make different eye colors pop:





Best shades for blue eyes:





GOLDEN ROSE: Soft earth tones with a hint a yellow work well for light blue eyes; they set off, but don't everpower, the delicate color.





SHADES OF BROWN: From light suede to dark chocolate, brown hues make every shade of blue look clearer.





GUNMETAL GREY: For a more dramatic alternative, try a cooler neutral, such as gray. choose one with a bit of iridescence so it doesn't look too opaque.





TIP: sophisticated earthy colors work best when they are polished and understated. Apply on lids, from lash line to lash line, and in a V shape along the outer corners for added definition.





Reese witherspoon's eyes here really pop:

Here are the colors listed above in a handy dandy set:

Almay also put together a set of shadow, liner, and mascara for blue eyes. One set for bringing out the blue and another for playing up the blue:

I have blue eyes and always go with a neutral brown all over my lid, dark brown in the crease and on the outer corners, black mascara and eyeliner on my inner upper lashline. My eyes always pop. Also applying a small amount of white shadow to the inner corner of your eyes makes them look more open. And applying white eyeliner to the inner lash line makes them look more open.

There are two ways to accentuate beauteous blue-eyed girls like ourselves:


1) Line inside the lashes with a black liner, wear black mascara, and dark brown (or dark rose) eye shadow past your crease. This look is more dramatic and is better for night.


2) Now for the day look- line outside the lashes with a dark brown or metallic grey liner, wear dark brown or soft black mascara, and pink or ANY shade of brown for eyeshadow.





Peachy and earthy tones look great by blue eyes, so stick to browns and pinks for maximum pop, but don't limit yourself- I like to wear purple shadow sometimes, even though it's not a blue-eye accentuator. Have fun and experiment!
well if you're like me and pale with blue eyes, i'd suggest:


foundation - optional, this depends if you consider that a part of a big makeup routine


then a small dash of rose coloured blusher, going upwards along your cheekbone


dont use a shadow as no matter what colour, will usually give a sunken affect.


then outline your eyes with a black liner, quite heavily along the upper lid and lower lid


after that a couple of coats of black mascara and your eyes shall look beautifully big! (:


if your tanned then stay similar but use a bronzer or darker pink blush.


another tip, if you have hair that falls into your face, clip it too the side, it'll help increase appearance of your eye size.
as a general rule, those with blue eyes should look for eye makeup in gray, violet, taupe, purple, and deep blue. you could also try using a dark shade of blue will actually bring out the more natural blue tones in your eyes; giving you a brighter and more vibrant look.





if you are looking for an edgier or more dramatic evening look, mixing black liner with a bright blue will give you a classic smoky effect. you can also throw in some silver, fuschia, or turquoise if you are going out and want a funky nighttime feel.





violets and lavenders are most recommended if you have a combination of baby blues and blonde hair. this is because a light purple is the most flattering for most blondes who tend to have fairer skin than those with darker hair.





you can use violet on the creases of your eyelids as well as on the lid in general. a lighter lavender above the crease will give you a more dramatic look for evenings. more neutral colors are ideal for daytime, but it's always fun to wear purple no matter what the time or season!





tans and browns can flatter the shape and shade of your eyes without overpowering your hair or other features. in the evenings, adding a gold shimmer is a great finishing touch for those with gorgeous, fiery hair and contrasting blue eyes.





i would keep your lips simple with a natural looking gloss, that way you can have a bit more fun with your eye make-up.





hope this helps

to make the color blue POP you want to use brown and orange.....which is GOLD!!!





I use this stuff and its great and inexpensive...

thats a picture of what it looks like but get the color palette #396 called ';sand castle';


its called Wet n wild ultimate expressions and the pack of eyeshadow is about 3x3 inches.





use a little bit of brown eyeliner on the outside of your top eyelashes and put a little bit of this white eyeshadow on the very inside corner of your eyes closest to your bridge of your nose. this makes your eye color pop. use the light pink shade that is at the top right of the pallette over your whole eye from brow to lashes, then dust a little of the dark gold in the sunken in crease part of the eye above your eyeball from the middle of your eye to the outside corner in a line. then dust the gold over your entire lid. you can use different combos of shades that come in this make up pallette just as long as you have the lightest color right under your brow, then the darkest in the crease, then a mid color on your lid. blend them all together to where you dont have lines in between each color. use a brown mascara.
the almay color collection would look great. blue and brown shadows are good for pop-y blue eyes, but blue shadows are best (sephora.com). blue-tinted mascara (almay.com) really makes the blue pop. and to finish off, try some light-blue liner or the top lids. maybe blue liquid liner, if u want it to be bold. but white eyeliner pencils will definatly make your eyes pop. put some on your top lid. of course blue makeup makes blue eyes stand out.

Go to the mall and tell them your dilemna. They apply make up for free, and will give you some great ideas. :)





I don't like to spend a lot of time on make up but I want my eyes to pop, so here are a few things I do...


Definitely apply white shadow just below your brow bone. (then natural shades on the rest)


Applying liner to only the upper lid will make your eyes look bigger.


Curl your lashes, and apply a good mascara.





...Works for me, I get compliments on my eyes all the time! :)





Good luck!
brown is not the opposing color to blue. Orange is. I'm sure you dont want to wear orange eye shadow but if you go with a warmer brown (one that contains more red or orange undertones) rather than a cool brown (one containing more green undertones) the color should pop.





also when applying concealer do not swipe the entire length of your under eye. this will shorten the visual width of your eyes. Only apply part of the way.





good luck!
OK so i have the same situation. i have big blue eyes, and whenever i want to make them look bigger and brighter, i use gold eyeshadow. mac has a great color called gold mine, and gold is huge in makeup this year. if you use a good black eyeliner and mascara then your eyes can literally look turquoise. its incredible! hope this helped
Puta little liner on the bottom of your eyes


Then but a nice purple or dark blue eye shadow and the top


Then just put a tad bit of mascara on . . .

brown eyeshadow (any shade brown) with mascara and eyeliner (you can wear black)
eye liner, mascara and eyeshadow. emphasis on eye liner!!!
brown is the opposing color of blue so it makes blue eyes POP beyond belief ! try a nice soft tan brown or get the almay shadows that are supposed to compliment your eyes ! they really work !
