Okay, so I’ve got blonde hair and blue eyes, and let me tell you, finding the right eye makeup can be a real journey! I’ve tried so many things. Today, I wanted to nail down a look that really makes my eyes pop, and I think I’ve finally cracked it. Here’s what I did:
Prep is Key!
First, I started with a clean slate. I washed my face and moisturized everything, including my eyelids. I’ve got these dry patches on the corner of the eyes, so skipping this step is a no-go. Then, I used an eye primer. This is super important, specially when you don’t want your eyeshadow becomes a mess during a day. It makes the eyeshadow colors more vibrant and helps everything stay put all day. I just dabbed a tiny bit on my lids and blended it out with my finger.
The Eyeshadow Fun Begins
I grabbed my favorite neutral eyeshadow palette. I don’t have favourite brands, I am always buying random palettes from Amazon, some cheap, some not, but with lots of colors. I feel like warm tones work best with my coloring, so I went for those.
- Base Shade: I picked a light, creamy beige color and swept it all over my lid, from lash line to brow bone. This just evens everything out and gives the other colors something to blend into.
- Crease Color: Next, I took a medium, warm brown – kinda like a caramel shade – and used a fluffy brush to work it into my crease. I made sure to blend, blend, blend! I don’t want any harsh lines. My trick is I used this color to define the “v” shape of my outter corner of the eyes.
- Lid Color: This is where the magic happens. I chose a shimmery champagne color and patted it onto the center of my lid. The shimmer really catches the light and makes my blue eyes stand out.
- Outer Corner (Optional): Sometimes, if I’m feeling fancy, I’ll add a tiny bit of a darker brown to the very outer corner of my eye, just to add a little more definition. Again, blending is key!
Liner and Lashes
I don’t always wear eyeliner, I have a sensitive eyes, so I’m kind of picky about it. But today, I used a dark brown pencil liner and drew a super thin line along my upper lash line. I didn’t wing it out or anything, just wanted to make my lashes look fuller.
Then, it’s all about the mascara! I curled my lashes first – game changer, seriously – and then applied two coats of my go-to black mascara. I wiggled the wand at the base of my lashes to really build up volume.
The Finishing Touches
I cleaned up any fallout under my eyes with a makeup wipe. I added a little bit of concealer under my eyes to brighten things up. Finally, I filled in my brows with a light brown brow pencil, just to give them a bit more shape. And there you have it!
This is my go-to eye makeup look for blue eyes and blonde hair. It’s pretty simple, but it really makes a difference. I feel like it enhances my features without being too over-the-top. Practice makes perfect, try it and you tell me!
