• each tool used should add freshness, lightness and sophistication to the image, but not weigh it down;
• the black arrow is definitely not suitable for blondes even for evening makeup.

If the skin is prone to the so-called cold tones, pallor and marbling, then light gray and blue colors should be used for the eyelids. In general, the makeup palette should be close to olive, light brown and soft pink with a peach tint.

Eyebrows need to be given more attention. In blondes, they are usually light. It is strictly forbidden to tint them with a black pencil in order to avoid vulgarity.

The choice of cosmetics

Makeup artists recommend always choosing one or another makeup technique, paying attention to eye and hair colors. Proper shading of the contour will help create an unforgettable image, making the appearance bottomless and bewitching.

Makeup artists have identified shades that are best suited for blue eyes and blond hair: these can be light tones or saturated ones. It is recommended to apply makeup in stages, in accordance with the instructions of professionals.

Foundation and powder

Blondes tend to have lighter skin tones, so it is recommended that they choose lighter shades that match their natural skin tone or are a half tone apart. Foundation, like powder, should not clog pores and generally be visible.

Shades of shadows

Cold shades are suitable for blue eyes and light blond hair, they emphasize the heavenly color. Step-by-step analysis of eye color will allow you to more accurately select the shades of cosmetics:

If you want to use this range, then you should choose a blue palette from several shades that differ from the eyes. For example, shades of indigo or turquoise are suitable.

Mistakes and advice from professionals

Any technique should suit you and your color type, otherwise the result will be counterproductive. In addition to choosing the wrong color, there are a few more common mistakes. Some of them:

• Eye shadows. This is a typical post-Soviet mistake. If you want to use the shades of the blue palette, then they should be a few shades darker or lighter. Otherwise, everything merges into a single faded picture, and the eyes look dull.
• Black eyeliner. If the color type is light and not too contrasting, then thick black eyeliner can turn your eyes into slits. It is worth paying attention to gray and brown tones of different saturation.
• Lack of color. Excessive contrast is not good, but its complete absence is also no good. Light eyes with light eyelashes, shadows and white skin – turn the face into a boring faceless mask.
• Graphic outline. If you are using liquid eyeliner or gel that doesn’t fade, don’t apply it all over the eye contour. Be very careful when applying them to the mucous membrane, because this is not suitable for everyone.

Blond hair and blue eyes make it possible to classify the type of its owner as a light type. Therefore, cosmetics are mainly used in delicate light shades. However, in evening makeup, you can experiment with color saturation. The main thing is to choose the right shade of decorative cosmetics.
