Hi I'm Kendra Richards, professional makeup artist and today I'm going to show you how to do makeup for blue green eyes. If you have blue green eyes, a great color palette to play up your eyes in eye shadow are rusts and fall colors. So I'm going to use the color design five pan palette by Lancome in kissed by gold. These colors are a perfect complement to Kathryn's blue green eyes. These fall colors are all going to bring the color out beautifully. I'm going to begin the lightest shade in the inner corner of her eye. That will help brighten her eye and then I'm sweeping it up right under the brow. That gives a nice little visual lift to the eye as well. I'm going to do that on this side. These colors are fantastic if you have blue green eyes. And even if you don't, it's just a beautiful, natural color palette. You can wear this year round. Then I'm going to take this brighter shade right here. I'm going to put that right in the center of her eye. That brightens up the eye area really beautifully. And I'm blending this out and then lastly, I'm going to tap that extra off of my brush. I'm going to take that darkest color and I'm going to focus it on the outer edge of her eye. This will open and elongate the look of her eye and I'm going to blend up and out. Always up and out to get a beautiful lift. Let me see this for a second. These colors are echoed in nature so anytime you're wondering what will work will blue green eyes, you can think of colors that you find in nature, in fall. For an extra little punch if you feel like it, you can take this darkest color in a deep sort of espresso color and just tap a little bit into the outer edge. So now I've put that little pop of espresso, that deepest, darkest color in the outer edge of her eye. And this really creates that final dramatic impact. Gives you that definition in the corner. That is such a rich, beautiful color. It helps bring out the blues and the greens in her eyes. I love that. You want to make sure you just use a touch of that color because a little will go a long way. I love the rusts, I love the shimmer in these shadows as well. It helps play off of the colors in her eyes. This is really a beautiful look for daytime or evening. And there you go. This is the perfect palette for blue green eyes. I'm Kendra Richards, thanks for watching.
