Basic makeup rules for blondes with blue eyes
Makeup for blond hair and blue eyes is a real art, which can only be mastered with time. To master the skill, first of all, you need to know all the subtleties and rules. They are the following:
- Day makeup. There should be no bright colors here. Choose from light brown, bronze, peach, copper, or ivory. It is better to use brown eyeliner, not black. Lipstick shades should be neutral (such as nude or rosewood).
- Evening make-up. Metallic shades work great – they emphasize the color of the eyes. Apply silver, purple and white to your lids and finish with black eyeliner. Mascara can be dark brown or also black. If the focus is on the eyes, choose a gentle lipstick.
General principles of makeup for blond hair and blue eyes:
- Smokey Eyes makeup makes the look soft and mysterious, but be careful with shades of gray;
- blue eyes with a gray undertone are successfully emphasized by cosmetics in a blue and silver palette;
- the lighter the hair color, the softer and smoother the makeup should be;
- forget about the classic arrows with black eyeliner completely even when creating evening make-up, as this makes the look of blue eyes too heavy;
- tinting with a white pencil the inner surface of the lower eyelid visually opens the eyes;
- all lines should effectively emphasize the eyes, add charm to the appearance, and not betray gravity.
The main guideline when choosing shades of makeup is the color of the iris.
Make-up depending on the color type
Even if you follow the strictest guidelines, it is not certain that you will be able to create perfect makeup without understanding the nuances associated with skin color. They are the following:
- fair-skinned blondes are best to use blue, purple and lavender shades – they not only emphasize femininity, but also give a rejuvenating effect;
- if your skin is relatively dark, use eyeliner and mascara – they will help make your eyes look clearer and deeper, it is best to choose eye makeup of olive, brown and peach colors.
Also consider the shade of the hair:
- eyeshadows with pearly shine are suitable for hair of any color and help to add shine to the eyes;
- the combination of ash-colored hair and a blue-blue palette, as well as gold, bronze and milky tones, looks great;
- for light brown and light golden hair, you can use sand, beige, blue and blue;
- wheat or honey hair goes well with blue and silver makeup, they well emphasize the beauty of blue eyes, as these colors add mystery and softness.
The lighter the hair color, the more delicate and transparent the texture of shadows and other cosmetics should be.
Selection of cosmetics
To create a harmonious image, it is important to choose the right color for each cosmetic product. The rules for blue-eyed blondes here are the following:
- Tone cream. It should be at a level as close as possible to your color type: beige is suitable for dark skin, and peach and pink for light shades.
- Blush. A common solution is peach or pink tones. If you have a warm skin type, you can also use coral red and apricot. Beige and peach blush refreshes the complexion well. It is best to choose them under the shade of lipstick, or with a difference of one or two tones.
- Bronzers and highlighters. Blondes with blue eyes should avoid bronzers, especially glossy ones. If you want to give the skin a glow, it is better to use only a highlighter. The shade of champagne looks very nice.
- Shadows. The ideal choice is cosmetics with a metallic sheen. When it comes to shade, skin color should be considered. It is best to leave aside shades of green and hot pink (they make the appearance dull).
- Mascara and eyeliner. Try to use brown colors instead of jet black, otherwise it will make makeup heavier and even make young beauties look much older.
- Eyebrow products. Choose them according to the depth of your hair color: gray is more suitable for an ashy shade, and light brown looks great with light brown hair.
- Pomade. This is the easiest step, because blue-eyed blondes look equally good with any shade on the lips. You can choose from a palette of pink, coral or red. Bright red or pink lipstick looks better with fair skin, while for dark skin, a shimmery coral lipstick is a good choice.
Interesting options
We have collected makeup options for every day, evening, wedding and graduation. We invite you to read the step by step instructions.
Everyday makeup
For every day, it is better to abandon bright makeup and give preference to delicate colors, blush and lip balms. Such makeup should look natural. If you add gold, silver, vanilla, cream and beige pigments, the makeup will acquire that very tenderness.
The iris of blue shades tends to change under the influence of light, weather, clothes and even the mood of its owner. It is very important to choose colors for everyday attire.
How to make a beautiful daytime makeup for a blonde with blue eyes:
- Even out the tone of the face. To do this, apply a thin layer of foundation. Then, if the skin is in good condition and there are no obvious defects on it, just powder it. But if there is redness and bruising under the eyes, there are acne and age spots, use a concealer to hide them.
- Correct the shape of the eyebrows. To do this, apply a brown or brownish-gray pencil, and on the upper eyelid – a little creamy gray eyeshadow with mother of pearl. They will serve as the foundation. Add a little more of the same shade under the eyebrows.
- Apply gray or blue eyeshadow to the upper lash line and outer corner of the eye. Using light gray shadows, carefully draw a thin line on the lower eyelid, and then paint the eyelashes in two layers of brown mascara.
- To create a fresh look, apply blush in a light shade of pink.
- Apply light pink and coral brown lipstick on your lips. Also use beige or clear gloss for a glossy finish.

Evening make-up
The classic version of evening makeup with scarlet lips and arrows is worth a little replay. For example, as an alternative, you can try dark brown eyeliner instead of black. How to make evening makeup for a blue-eyed blonde:
- First, prepare the eyelids by creating a pattern with shadows that emphasizes the natural shape. Then makeup using arrows will not reduce the size of the eyes, but will visually enlarge them.
- With a smooth, natural brush, apply golden eyeshadow to the entire mobile eyelid, and then emphasize the outer corner of the eye and the eye socket line. Use matte brown to line the lashes and liner to fill in between the lashes.
- Apply thick mascara to your eyelashes.
- Underline lips with a berry shade of lipstick. When applied with a brush, it looks softer. You can use an ordinary cotton swab or stick for shading.
- Apply lipstick-like blush to your cheekbones. Highlight the space under the cheekbones with a dry brown corrector.

Wedding make-up
If you decide to do your own wedding makeup, follow our instructions. An example of a wedding make-up:
- Prepare your skin. If necessary, use micellar water to remove previous makeup residue from your face and apply a light, non-greasy moisturizer. Otherwise, the makeup may “float”.
- Apply a balm to your lips – it smoothes the skin and prepares it for applying lipstick.
- Apply cream powder to your face with your fingertips.
- Apply concealer under the eyes, and corrective fluid on redness. Use eye primer.
- Apply cool pink blush to the apples of your cheeks. The result should look natural. To make makeup more durable, you can first apply cream blush, and then use dry. Colors can also be combined – for example, cold pink and warm peach.
- Use wax to correct the shape of the eyebrows – it fixes and stabilizes the hair. Line your eyes with a light plum brown color.
- Apply a light pink eyeshadow with a golden sheen on the mobile eyelid, slightly higher in the crease, and blend well. You can use a creamy texture – these shades last longer.
- Apply a dry shade of pink-brown to the moving eyelids. They accentuate blue eyes well. Blend lightly.
- Use a light golden brown to highlight your lower lash line.
- Use a black liquid eyeliner.
- Apply mascara to your eyelashes.
- Using a contour pencil, paint over the entire surface of the lips. Apply caramel pink lip gloss or balm over the pencil.
- Apply setting powder to your face. Use a fluffy brush to apply it to the T-zone.
For wedding makeup, it is best to choose products with a waterproof formula. This mainly applies to eyeliner, foundation and mascara.
Graduation Ideas
Graduation party is a celebration, although formal, but meaningful for most girls. For this holiday, a gentle romantic make-up is usually chosen. Graduation make-up example:
- Apply light shadow with glitter along the eye socket to the entire mobile eyelid. For example, shades of champagne or peach are suitable. However, you can easily replace them with highlighters mixed with warm pigments.
- Use a glossy dark brown to highlight the crease of the upper eyelid and the entire brow area for a smoky look. Do not be afraid to overdo it – make-up should be “sweeping”.
- With a waterproof bronze pencil, draw a line under the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid. Also blend it on the lower eyelid.
- Apply mascara to upper lashes.
- Apply peach lipstick on your lips, also use it instead of blush.
Smokey ice for blue-eyed blondes
For an elegant look of fair-haired girls with blue eyes, the classic black “ice” can be too dark (without the right clothes). If you want to create a strong smoky effect, choose dark tones of other colors – brown, marsh, bronze, green, purple.
Follow all instructions carefully and proceed with care. It takes practice.
How to make smokey:
- Apply a shimmery dark brown all over the lid and add gold to the center.
- Lightly blend the edges, and then use a dark brown shade to highlight the lower eyelid along the entire length with a matte texture.
- Paint over the mucous membrane of the eye both above and below with a black liner, additionally underline the lower eyelid with brown along the entire length. Apply black mascara to your eyelashes.
- Apply pink lipstick on your lips and blend it on your cheekbones as a blush. For a fresh, slightly tanned look in summer, apply a little bronzer to the top and sides of your forehead, temples, cheekbones, and jawline.

Helpful Tips
If the wrong color is chosen for eye makeup, the appearance of a soft blonde beauty can take on sharp features. To prevent this from happening, follow some recommendations:
- Blue or light blue eye shadow. Make sure the shade doesn’t exactly match your eye color. The best choice is contrasting colors. For example, if you have light blue eyes, try ultramarine or cobalt shades. Avoid pale muted tones – they give a tired look.
- Use blue, brown or gray eyeliner instead of black. This is necessary to make the eyes visually brighter.
- Another color that will make your eyes stand out is purple. Lavender shades are great for everyday use. In the evening, choose a plum color.
- A few words about tonalka. The ideal color for natural blondes is peach with a light pink tint. Foundation should not be heavy. Translucent powder or moisturizer with a little highlighter is ideal. It looks the most natural.
- Powder with tan effect. Beauties with pale skin can resort to such a “magic wand” if you want your skin to become darker. But know the measure – a blonde with too dark skin looks unnatural.
It is not very difficult to create a harmonious image for a blonde with blue eyes, because such a combination of appearance features is very attractive in itself. With the help of the above tips and instructions, you will be able to create a beautiful and moderate makeup that will help you captivate those around you.
