- Hi. I'm Jeffrey Paul, celebrity makeup artist, and today I'm going to show you what color eye makeup to wear with blue eyes. Browns are beautiful, and browns enrich the blue color in eyes. They also make the whites look whiter. You can see that in these tones, there's like a yellow. Especially in this one, there's a copper. The copper has a little bit of an orange to it. Orange brings out blue eyes because it's the opposite on the color spectrum. It actually cancels out certain colors, so it enhances the blue; however, these choices are something that I think people are familiar with, but I'm going to choose something different. Because of the warmth in Kimber's hair and her skin, I'm going to choose a palette that has a lot of taupes. We're going to be using the All Expertwear by Maybelline. You can see as I place the colors next to Kimber's face, you can see how her eyes can pop. Lighter colors are actually going to bring things forward, and the darker tones are actually going to frame and define them. This color in here - the mauve-y, taupe-y color - that's actually going to complement her eyes. It has a little bit of gray, and has a little bit of a purple tone. That will actually bring out the blue in her eyes. She has a little bit of a yellow in the center. The taupe colors - this dark one, this lighter one - will actually frame and make the colors seem richer and warmer. The light color is actually going to define and actually highlight the whole eye. Together, it's going to create an eye that all blue eyes can wear. Before starting any kind of eye makeup, if you want it to last, add a dot of foundation to your eyes. This will help the shadow stick and stay longer. And it's just a light drop, spread out from the whole eyelid from the lashes all the way up into the eyebrow. So to start, I'm going to show you the lightest color. This is the one that on the palette is called base, but I'm going to use it as a highlight. Up by the brow, I place the color where I want it. You can see what this is doing is it's framing the brow. It's adding a brightness. It's also giving more shape and dimension to the eyebrow. One quick rule of highlighting and contouring the face, is anywhere you place a dark color, if you place a light color, it will help it stand out more. So underneath the brows, I'm placing the light color all the way along from the beginning, middle, and end... with a little bit of extra right at the brow bone. Now that we've finished the first color, I'm starting with the second one. This is a mauve tone. It has a little bit of a blue in it, and I'm placing it all over her eyelid. You can see that this color actually frames the eye, and the sparkle in it makes it look light and illuminates the whole eye. This is a nice look if you wanted to just stop here, if you wanted a simple kind of day look. You can see when Kimber's going to open her eyes and the color will actually make her eyes pop. And you can see the pretty blue and actually the yellow kind of tone inside her eye shines a little bit brighter. And you can see, to accentuate this, I'm going to add a little bit in the inner corner. That way, you can really see what the color does to her eyes. You can see it's making the blues richer, making them brighter, making shine more. And just with the flat edge of this brush, I'm just placing the color right along the lash line, and blending it in. It's also really nice with her skin tone, because of the warmth and the hair on the skin. Now that I've placed two colors, I'm going for the third. I like this deeper color to define her eye, but this color--it's like a taupe-y color--but this color is going to be good with, because it's so close to her skin tone. It's actually going to help me blend. With a beveled brush, right into the eye socket, I'm going to take this and just trace this back and forth aiming towards the brow bone, so that it diminishes the pink and fades it into the white color that's underneath the brow. If she was paler, you would be able to see this color more, but because of her warm skin tone and warm hair tone, you can see this is just adding a blending tone and helping frame the rose color that's on her eye. To finish off the look, I'm going to use the deepest color. I'm going to use it as an eyeliner around Kimber's eyes and underneath to frame the eye, and probably some blended into the socket. With the flat edge of an angled brush, I'm going to press it right next to the lashes. And you can see this is building up the depth and dimension right in the eye and the other corner. I'm also going to turn the brush sideways to add a little bit more dimension in the other corner. And it's adding depth and more structure to the whole eye shape. Again with the brush, going right there along the lash line, pressing in the color, making it more defined, and then smoothing it in from the outside. With this brush, too, if you have an angled brush you always want to go from the small edge to the large. You can't go the other way. With green eyes, blue eyes, or any light color eyes, you have it made, because you can wear any dark color. Anything darker than your skin tone and eye color is actually going to make your eyes pop. With this look, it's a soft, wearable look. It's something you can wear every day. It's pretty. It enhances your eyes. You don't have to think of this as a simple look, because you can also dramatize it. You can add more black to it and more of a liner. You can actually make it more strong if you want to, or you can keep it subtle. The choice is up to you. The desired effect is actually going to be in the application. You can have a smooth, light look, or you can have it more dramatic with the same color palette. Both color palettes will actually frame your eye and bring the colors out. To finish off the look, or to intensify, what I did was I used more of the mauve rose-tone shadow on the inner lid. I also added a drop of water. Some shadows you can do that with - it actually intensifies the color or crystal, or the brightness inf it. You can see that it has a nice little sparkle on the inner corner of the lid. There. You can see that this rose tone, the mauve, actually complements her eyes. It brings out the warmth and the richness in her eyes, as well as her hair tone. On lighter color eyes, on lighter color skin might make them look bluer, but for Kimber it actually makes them look greener. To finish off the look, I'm adding more of a neutral lip tone. Kimber's lips already have a beautiful pink luster to them, so what I wanted to do, to focus on the eyes, is use a color in the same family, but I'm spreading it out thin in a light coat, just to give the lips definition and bring the focus back to the eyes. You can see that this color looks beautiful because it's a deeper tone than Kimber's lips, and it actually goes with her hair. What this does is complements the whole entire look, bringing the eyes brighter, bring them into focus, and making them more defined. There you have it: that's eye makeup tips for blue eyes. I'm Jeffrey Paul. Thank you for watching.
