- Hi, I'm Jeffrey Paul, celebrity makeup artist. And today, I'm going to show you what color eyeshadow makes blue eyes pop. With blue eyes you're lucky. Anything used to frame the eye will make them stand out. Browns are always a safe choice. Browns make the blues bluer and the whites whiter. And it's an easy choice to define the eye, and to sculpt it and make it look attractive. So, today, I'm going to choose something different. I'm going to choose a palette of taupes, grays and blacks. Today, I'll be using Maybelline Expert Eyewear. First what you want to do is prep the eyelid with a dot of foundation or concealer. This will keep the shadow lasting longer and also make the colors brighter. You can see with a palette like this next to Kimberly's eyes, it brings out the different tones in her eyes. You could see the yellow, you can see even the pale green, and you can see the blue. Blue eyes and green eyes often change color. I'm going to start with the dark. The darkest color in here is the black. The reason for that is I want you to see what happens with the addition of just one color next to the eye and how it can make your eyes pop. With a flat angled brush, I'm going to press the darker shadow right next to the eyelid, right next to the lashes, starting at the inner corner, and working my way all the way to the outer corner, bringing the corner out slightly just to make the eyes a little bit more elongated, more than almond shape. And spreading the product in the other corner a little bit more just to define and create more depth and dimension. Right underneath, I'm going to take a little bit of the same color on the brush, and drag around the eye just to frame and define the eye. The softness of the application will just give you definition around the eye. You can see how her eyes really stand out. So, I've finished up the first color and starting with the second one, starting with this little bit of a silver or gray tone, on the soft brush, right in the outside corner of the eye, I'm framing the eye and defining the crease. What this does for any kind of eye is defines the eye and it seem larger, gives it more of an almond shape. Because these colors have a sort of a blue undertone, and a little bit of a gray in the taupe, it's going to make the blue seem like it's jumping out, making them seem brighter. This is one of many ways that you can actually add eyeshadow to an eye. You can just do one color all over the eyelid, to frame the eye and that would equally look good as well. But in making them pop, what you're doing, is you're changing the dimension and shape of the eye, by adding light colors and dark colors to the eye in a way that frames it and defines it. The eyeshadow that I've done so far, really frames Kimberly's eyes. It brings it out. You can do this with any color. You can do this with browns, grays, blacks anything deeper toned than the eyes. The last color on this palette, I'm going to use on her eyelid, right in the center. What this is going to do is add more light and illumination. It's going to really make things brighter. And you can see that the color does have a little bit of a blue tone to it, which is going to extend the blue in her eye, more of a gray taupey color with a little bit of a blue sheen. Blue eyes, green eyes, hazel eyes, anything lighter, when you frame it with a dark color, it's going to make the eyes stand out and it's going to make them pop. You can see that Kimberly's eyes, I've framed her eyes with the black. I've even lined on the inside with black. It fades a lot of colors as it moves to the outside of the eye up towards the eyebrow. Having the darkest color next to the eye, really makes the eye stand out. You can see when she closes her eyes, the lighter color on the lid also frames the eye and makes the inner part of the eyelid, stand out as well. When you're doing any kind of eye makeup for light color eyes, framing the eye, adding light and dark will really accentuate the eyes and make them pop. With Kimberly, her skin tone is warm, her hair is warm. I used grays and taupes that also is in contrast with her skin tone, that also will make it stand out. If you wanted to try a safer choice, you could do browns or greens, or colors that are more in line with what's in your skin tone and your hair color. I chose something as a bold choice, so you could see what a dramatic beautiful look would be to make her blue eyes pop. There you have it. That's what color eye shadows to make blue eyes pop. I'm Jeffrey Paul. Thank you for watching.
