When we choose our makeup, many people tend not to think about the colour of their eyes. They go for the latest trending colour and their eye colour doesn’t even enter their heads. This is where many girls could show off their eyes even more so, with suitable colours for their eyes. Bear in mind that what works for someone with dark brown eyes, may not work for someone with bright blue eyes. Everyone is different and of course, you want to know how to enhance and show off your beautiful eyes. Neutral and earthy tones tend to work well with any colour eyes but you can always do lighter or darker for shades. You can also add glitter and there are so many different methods and styles that you can try too.
When we go out, we want to feel perfect and when we feel like this, this can boost our confidence. These different colours and effects will show off your gorgeous blue eyes so have fun experimenting this summer and we can guarantee you will not look back!
