Hey Doll!
I have blue eyes as well and I'm always on the look for new techniques to help enhance my baby blues! However, there is a big difference between day and night looks. Here's my best advice for both!
During the day, you always want your makeup to look natural. Heavy makeup has the tendency to look overwhelming and obnoxious. Especially if you work in an office and are under florescent lighting most of the time. In this case, if you want something different than brown eyeliner, try gray. It's not nearly as loud as black. Also, for a different choice in shadow, I have yet to find a color that copper doesn't go with. L'Oreal has really nice copper shades. And I love the effect it gives with gray liner. The contrast really makes blue eyes pop. With this look, since it already adds a lot of color, I like to use clear mascara. Most every brand carries some form of clear mascara, and if your eye lashes are already naturally dark, this is the perfect alternative. Add a touch of bronzer to your apples, some tinted lip gloss, and you should be set!
At night, you have a little more flexibilty and can be a bit more daring. I like using black liquid liner at night, Maybelline Ultra Liner works well. A new trend you can try with liquid liner is cat eyes. Well, it's not actually new, but it's pretty popular right now. I like combining this look with light gray, almost white shadow. Dusting the entire eye lid with this color and using a dark gray on the crease of the eye is a stunning combination. Cover Girl has a really nice shadow that offers 3 shades of gray from dark to light. For added emphasis, use your finger tip to add the light color to the inner corner of your eyes. Finish off with a volumizing mascara, a pretty blush on your apples, and a nude lipstick.
The trick is to mix and match different looks, but going either strong on your lips or eyes, but never both. For instance, use bright red lipstick and nuetral colors on the rest of your face. Remember...everything in moderation. Another thing I like to do is score free makeup samples from various sites and makeup counters. This way, I can try different looks, without forking out the money for the full products. E-mail me if you want to hear more dreat styles or tips! Hope I helped and good luck.
Stay classy!What are some easy makeup tips for blue eyes?
I have blue eyes as well and I have found that black/very black works the best for really making your eye color stand out. Almay has a line of eye make-up that is color coordinated for your eye color. I have tried just about every shade of eyeshadow and found that there really isn't a wrong color, it's all in how you apply it. I usually use blush shades during the day- a light, medium, and dark shade. Blues, pinks, and metallic colors look good with blue eyes.
Apply the light shade to the whole eye lid, the medium shade to the bottom half of the lid, and the dark shade from the outer corner of your eye to about 1/3 of the way in the crease of your eyelid.
If you have visited spas and resorts in exotic locales such as the Pacific Rim, Bali, Hawaii, and Tahiti, you've probably seen a facialist select and mash fresh fruit in front of you for a fresh-on-the spot enzyme mask. It's easy to recreate this mask at home -- we've found a Balinese mask for you which will leave your face fresh and glowing.

Whether you have more of a sky blue tone or an oceany navy-green darker eye color; men will melt when they catch a glimpse of your baby blues.
Let's begin with a short reiteration of the basics from installment #1. The goal of wearing eye make-up is to enhance/bring attention to your eyes. The rule of thumb is to wear the opposite color eye shadow of your eyes on the color wheel so that your eyes really stand out (or POP as they say in the make-up world).
If there鈥檚 one thing to remember when it comes to blue eyes it's this: Never match your eyeshadow to your clothing or your eye color! If you have blue eyes, wearing blue eyeshadow makes your eyes look duller - and complementing your clothing has been out since the 80鈥檚. Imagine if you were wearing red or black? YIKES!
To specifically make your blue eyes traffic stoppingly bold, I suggest colors such as: browns, greys, golds, rusty peaches or plum colors. Right now the look is more of a bold eye as opposed to the old muted ';Bobbi Brown'; natural eye, so have fun and play with your make-up as you would with any other accessory.

As we know metallics are hot right now and they are easy to use alone. Just apply them to the lid and crease. My bronze and gold pics for blue eyes are:
';Half Baked'; by Urban Decay - a really rich gold,
';Amber Lights'; by MAC - a shimmery golden peachy-brown (worn by model%26gt; and
';Beach';Fluid Iridescent Eyeshadow by Chanel - the perfect combination of bronze and gold.
MAC also makes an awesome eyeliner called Teddy which is a darker shimmery bronze that looks great with any of these shadows.
If you are going for the whole shebang (lid, crease and highlighter) these are my suggestions. Typically, the lightest color is applied to the entire eyelid and to the edge of the eyebrow. Select a deeper color from the same color family to do the crease and dust a highlighter just beneath the brow.
I love Done That by Make Up By Armando for the lid,
MAC's Trax (a burgundy-plum flecked with bronze shimmer) for the crease and
Smashbox's Butter a goldy yellow as a highlighter.
Don't forget to blend well; when you think you've blended enough, blend some more! The goal is not to have obvious edges of color. Remember, lighter colors highlight and darker colors recede and add depth and shading.
This post focuses on blue eye shadows to make your baby blues look bad ***!
After consulting with many makeup mavens and experts, I've discovered that it takes more than just one color to make blue eyes bold. The perfect palette is hard to come by, but I've found a few that get the job done well. Each of these include three to five shades of just the right blue hues to perfectly enhance your eyes.
The lightest neutral shade is the accent color that should go just beneath your brow-bone, the medium color should be swept all over your lid and the darkest gets applied to the crease.
Pop Beauty Eye Cake in Blue Eyes, $19, is a gorgeous palette consisting of five different colors designed to bring out the pop in your blue eyes. The colors are smooth in texture and rich in pigment and will draw oodles of attention to your eyes. Consider yourself warned baby!

A few weeks ago, I contacted makeup artist Amy Oresman, who was responsible for creating Hayden Panettiere's dazzling Emmy look. And here's a little gem that didn't make it into the original post.
';What can you say about the often-repeated beauty advice to match your eye shadow shade to your eye color?'; I asked. Here's what she had to say: ';Don't believe it! Matchy-matchy eye shadows compete with your natural eye color, making it look more muted and washed-out.';
