- Hi, I'm Jeffrey Paul, celebrity makeup artist. And today I'm here to show you what color eye makeup to wear with blue eyes. Blue eyes have a myriad of colors in them. And you want to find out what's going to be best and what's going to complement them to make them stand out, to make them shine, to make your eyes radiant. The bluer the eyes are, the browns and deep colors work well. Browns will always make eyes look bluer. Pinks or any kind of light tones will complement the eyes. Pink eye shadows or flesh tones, can actually make the skin look clean, natural and actually make the eyes look watery, look pretty. Anything dark on a blue eye will frame the eye and make it stand out. Today, I'm going to use Maybelline Eye Studio Plush. You can see that there are four colors here in the palette, a light color that's actually going to highlight the eye, a pink, a silver, those are actually going to complement the blue, make the blue look watery and rich. And then the black is going to define the eye and make the blue of the eye stand out. First, I prepped Kimberly's eyelids with a little bit of foundation. You can see that the colors have a little bit of a shimmer or sparkle to them. When the eye has a little bit of moisture to it, with the sparkle, it's going to make it stand out more, make it actually shine. It'd be pretty for night time, or evening time makeup application. With a flat tip brush, I'm going to take the shadow, I'm going to apply it to the eyelid, in the outer corner. I'm doing this on purpose so you can see what the silver tone is going to do next to her eyes. Kimberly actually has a little bit more yellow in her eyes which makes them a little bit more greener. But most blue eyes and green eyes, they kind of cross each other. Some get bluer and some get greener. You can see the shadow frames her eyes and brings out the color of the iris. It makes it jump forward. Now with most people with blue eyes, the silver tones and the blue tones and the pinks, actually work well because it compliments the blue in the eye. Kimberly has a lot of yellow to her skin and to her hair tone. This will do something different for her than it will do for you at home. Right on the edge is where I applied more shadow. So, if Kimberly looked up, I can take the shadow and apply it right along the lash line. And you can see that there's a shimmer to the color. The shimmer's actually making the skin look lighter and brighter and also bringing out some illumination to the sparkle in the eye. You can see that the color next to Kimberly's eye, framed her eye. It's a little bit deeper. The silver and the gray, a little bit darker than her skin tone, so it's actually adding depth and dimension. The shine in it is bringing it to life. It's giving luster to it. On the inner corner, which I didn't put any color; I did it on purpose so you could see I'm going to add pink to it. This pink color with an eyeshadow brush that's flat, I'll take it and I'll apply it to the inner corner of her eye. You can see that this color actually is reflecting light, looking lighter making the silver look deeper and giving more illumination and space to the eye. Half the color on the inner eyelid going to the outer; the one color blends into the other. That's always a key, blending your colors. And you can see that this also illuminates her eye. You can see that so far, the two color effect is watery. It's pretty. And it's also a very soft soothing look if you wanted to have something for daytime. For night time you obviously want to play with the colors because the light's dim and even more of a contrast. You need to make it stand out. I'm going to take the deepest color, the black color that's in the palette, You can see that I added a drop of water to it. This palette's great for adding water, because not only does it lengthen the use of the product, it makes the color more intense; for the sparkly ones it makes them shine, and for the black one it can make it rich and deep. I'll take a little bit of the extra off my hand and I can see that I need a little bit more product because it's a little bit too watery. That's why I would like to test it on my hand first before applying it to the face to make sure I have a good saturation point of color to water. Kimberly's going to close her eyes and right next to the lashes, I'm going to press the color in and go right along the lash line, turning slightly out and up at the outer corner. This is lining the eye creating definition and creating a little bit more shape. You can see that it now starts to frame her eye and is actually adding more depth and dimension to the work we've already done. And then we add a little bit extra to the outer corner, creating a little bit more deeper more dramatic outer corner so it's more of a dramatic statement. You can also use this down below. When she opens her eye, I can see that I can connect the little wing that I started to create with the lower lashes, going to the inner corner. You don't have to create a wing. Sometimes wings are good for cat eyes and also smoky eyes. But you can see how this line continues right into the outer corner. So, you can see I've finished off the look with etching some more black into the corner along the lash line, making it more dramatic. Even the light colors in the palette, I added a little bit under the brow. You can see the sparkle and shine. This would be nice for a blue eye because it would add depth and dimension, and a little bit of drama. But I don't want to be afraid with blue eyes, not to wear blue. We actually want to try a jump in doing blue with blue eyes. Define your eyes with black and then add a little bit of a navy blue to it to see how that also complements blue eyes. This palette has two different brilliant blues in it. I'm adding a little bit of water to the deepest blue. Right next to the lashes, right where the black is, I'm going to add in the blue. And you can see that it's bold, it's brilliant, and it's blending into the black and giving a more of a dimension of color and as soon as she opens her eye, it'll add more shine and make the blues actually more watery. You can see the black next to the eye framed by the blue. So, if you add blue, maybe just brush it to smooth out the edges so that one color blends into the next. This is just one of many different techniques you can show for blue eyes. Blues can wear different colors. They can wear dark and dramatic colors, they can wear blue. You can wear gray, taupe, and softer colors like pink and flesh tones. Anything that defines the eye and brings it forward, dark eyes will always make blue eyes jump as a dark eye frames the blue eye. There you have it. That's what color eye shadows to wear with blue eyes. I'm Jeffrey Paul. Thank you for watching.
