Makeup looks for blue-eyed blonde?

I am pretty fair-skinned, but not as light as porcelain. I have medium blonde hair (not ash and not platinum), and blue eyes. Just looking to switch up my makeup routine and get some ideas. Anyone have any suggestions? I like anything from natural to more glamorous. I normally use MAC products for everything but my skin, for which I use Prescriptives.





Particularly I'm looking for looks to wear with a Little Black Dress =)Makeup looks for blue-eyed blonde?
Golds are very pretty, and silvers.





Put Silver on your lid, and then a Gold on your crease, and then put a tiny but of Carbon in the outer corner, for some smoke ;]Makeup looks for blue-eyed blonde?
Blue Eyes:





As a general rule, those with blue eyes should look for eye makeup in gray, violet, taupe, purple, and deep blue. Many have found 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.





Drugstore Suggestions:


1. Violets and Purples: CoverGirl Eye Enhancers, Trio Eye shadow, Dance Party #125, ~$5.00


2. Gray and Deep Blue: Revlon ColorStay 12 Hour Eye Shadow, Sultry Smoke #342, ~$7.00


3. Taupe: CoverGirl Eye Enhancers - Single Eye Shadow, Tapestry Taupe #760, ~$4.00
For everyday, blues eyes look pretty with a light pink shade applied around the lashline (a bit thicker), or a copper around the outer corners. For more formal occasions, instead of using a black for smoky eyes, you might want to use dark brown or grey along the outer-upper rim of your eyes and use a glittery pink or white in the inner corner and up to the browbone.





A sugary pink is good choice for blush.





The Pop Eye Cakes are nice because the five shades are more flexible for day to night. For the makeup routine above, the Bright Pink might be a good place to start. You might also want to experiment with blue mascara or purple eye shadow.

i have fair skin too, and when i wear something black i like to play it up, and wear heavy eyeliner, like do a smokey eye thing. you could do it with just black, or play it up and add a dark metallic gray with silver in the inner part of your eyes to add a bit of glow to your face.


unless, you want to make it a bit playful, you could do like an aqua color around your eyes. since you already have blue eyes, it'll emphasize the blue. i would suggest use an eyeliner brush to apply blue shadow instead of blue eyeliner.


hope whatever you decide looks good!
Maybe some thick eyeliner...try Lancome ARTliner. Also, you could use a red gloss or lipstick to make your lips stand out more...but just remember, if you focus on one thing, make the rest natural. (ex: if you wear thick eyeliner, go with clear gloss). also, to switch up your look you could try a new fragrance. i love things by ralph lauren, victoria's secret, and escada. good luck!
Don't wear too much! Smokey-look is not ideal.





Plain.. Simple. Two coats of mascara, tinch bit of gold eyeshadow.. Silver.. it will make you look too pale. Plus.. really cat-eyed thin, thin eyeliner... only on top lid. Not bottom.. it will close your eyes up.





Goodluck!
