We may as well call this
"Reader Question Week"
as i have so many great questions coming through that i would love to answer!
Reader Question:
"what colour is best to use on lips and eyelids to make the eyes look bluer?"
This depends on the shade of blue eyes you have.
However, as a general rule - Golden colours really make blue eyes pop!
Anything from a yellow-gold to a bronze-gold to an orange - gold.
You could use a golden bronze all over the eyelids which would be very beautiful,
especially on tanned skin.
If you're fair skinned then a lighter you could use the same shade, just a softer version.
Then highlight the inner points of your eyes with a true gold shadow.
Also line the inner rims of your eyes with a brown or even an antique gold eyeliner.
( find Antique Gold eyeliner at Make Up Store)
**If you use a gel eyeliner the colour will be much stronger & last longer. Check these out at MAC or Bobbi Brown. **
Load up with LOTS of black mascara.
If you wanted to be bolder, do a really beautiful black smokey eye with true black shadow
(not grey, BLACK!!! The blackest you can find!)
ID bare minerals had a great black eyeshadow. Shu Uemura also have a great black & even a metallic black.
Add some metallic, dark blue-black eyeshadow under the eye if you're really brave,
rim the insides of your eyes (top & bottom) with black eyeliner & really thick black mascara.
Having tanned skin will also help blue eyes look bolder.
As for lips, a really beautiful orange lipstick would be preferable.
If you don't feel comfortable wearing something so bright, then anything yellow/orange based, or even a light orange gloss should do the trick.
TAKE NOTE:
When lining your eyes with the eyeliners i have recommended, make sure you line the INNER RIMS & make sure you do it TOP & BOTTOM
(yes it will tickle a little)
This will help to really frame the eyes & plays a BIG part in helping the blue to stand out as best it can.
