Makeup ideas for girls with light eyes and hair

Макияж блондинки Eyes

You can envy girls with light eyes and hair, because their appearance is considered a real standard of female beauty. However, sloppy makeup can spoil the image and leave the wrong impression. A perfectly matched may-cap will not only add expressiveness to the look and image, but also emphasize all the unique features.

Basic makeup rules for blondes

Blondes with light eyes (blue, gray, green, light brown) usually have delicate, fragile, pinkish-white skin. Almost always they have a thin dermis, which cannot be overloaded with cosmetics.

Professional makeup artists recommend choosing a light transparent primer or ivory bases. As for the foundation, a cream-fluid is recommended for a fair-haired girl.

When choosing cosmetics, preference should be given to creamy products. The reason is that the skin of blondes is prone to dryness and irritation.

Blonde makeup

Blond hair can have different tones:

  • platinum;
  • sunny gold;
  • pearl;
  • ashen;
  • pearl pink;
  • sunny blond;
  • sparkling champagne, etc.

Despite the shade of hair, these girls look very gentle. Therefore, you should carefully choose the right color scheme for pigmented makeup. It is not recommended to use too dark shades. They will give a gentle appearance a completely unnecessary vulgarity.

Suitable Techniques

Girls with blond hair and light eyes are usually creative individuals who know how to take care of their appearance. But sometimes they still make mistakes in makeup. Especially when it comes to shades.

The most suitable colors for light-eyed blondes:

  • for shadows, the best choice is peach, purple, coral, beige, turquoise and pale pink;
  • avoid using red and green, they can give the image a painful look;
  • foundation should be light and transparent;
  • dark brown or graphite mascara is best, black will look dirty;
  • of pencils, brown or gray are preferred.

This set is more suitable for daily makeup. For the evening, you can use darker tones.

Definition of color type

When creating makeup, you also need to focus on your color type – a set of appearance parameters that are combined into four large groups: “autumn”, “winter”, “summer” and “spring”.

Girls with fair skin and eyes belong to “spring”. “Spring” girls often have soft and gentle features. It is recommended to emphasize this softness and avoid bright images.

The choice of cosmetics for light eyes and hair

Blondes with light eyes should be very careful with makeup, and draw thin lines around the eyes. Particular attention should be paid to the color palette, as there is always a risk of making the image too bright or too pale and featureless.

Shadows

Metallic shades look great on girls with light eyes, and add a “radiant” accent to their makeup. Copper and bronze, gold and silver tones are what you need. If you have fair skin with cool undertones, use pearly purples, pinks, and shimmery purples.

brown shadows

Girls with dark or tanned skin and light eyes are best suited for warmer shades:

  • gold;
  • yellow-orange;
  • peach;
  • coffee.

Don’t buy shadows that match your eye color perfectly. To make the makeup look beautiful and organic, the shadows in “their” range should be brighter or darker than them. The ideal choice is contrast.

Too dark shades are not for light-eyed: they instantly make the appearance gloomier. Also, be careful with dark purple, green and turquoise shades – they usually do not suit blondes.

Foundation

For cool blonde hair and fair skin, a foundation with peach or pink undertones is the best choice. In the case of a warm shade of hair and tanned skin, a tonal foundation with a beige undertone is suitable.

Always try to choose a foundation that is close to your natural skin tone.

Blush and bronzers

Peach or pink blush is a great choice for blondes with light eyes. For darker skin tones, use coral and apricot blush.

The bronzer will instantly tan your skin. It must be applied to areas of the face exposed to sunlight. Gently brush over the top and sides, cheekbones, tip of the nose and chin.

Pomade

The color of lipstick suitable for blondes depends not only on the color of the hair, but also on the skin tone and fullness of the lips.

Lipsticks suitable for a certain skin tone or hair:

  • Pale skin. You can confidently choose a nude lipstick: it will always be in place. Tones with a pink sheen and a matte finish look especially beautiful on the lips. In general, almost any color is suitable, from cranberry red, fuchsia to garnet.
  • Olive (or tanned) skin. Red with a warm orange undertone is especially suitable for such girls, as well as dark apricot, light brown or even rusty colors. If you take the latter options, then it is worth softening them with a translucent sheen.
  • Ash blonde. Regardless of skin color, wine lipstick, burgundy and marsala shades are suitable.
  • Golden blonde. You need to look for fresh and juicy colors. If the hair is smooth, golden, perhaps with copper tones, then apricot, peach and coral colors will do. By shading lipstick and adding a little translucent gloss, you will create the effect of wet lips.

Blue eyes

Many women envy blondes with blue eyes and dream of such an appearance, but only natural beauties know how difficult it is to maintain such an image.

For a cold blonde, a bright and rich palette is not suitable, only warm. To emphasize the color of the eyes, makeup artists recommend using appropriate shades of gray, blue, blue and brown.

  • the most favorable blush colors are peach and pink;

Makeup mistakes and makeup artist tips

To create makeup that complements the look, it is necessary to take into account not only the color of the hair and eyes, whether it be blue or gray-blue, but also the skin tone. Blondes with light eyes should choose these shades of foundation, blush, shadows and eyeliner:

  • Tone. If your skin is light, choose a tinted foundation with pink or peach undertones, and if your skin is darker, choose beige shades. The foundation should be as close to the skin tone as possible, and the formula should be adjusted in accordance with its type.
  • Blush. Universal shades – pink and peach: they suit almost all blondes with light eyes. But the colors of coral and apricot blush are more suitable for girls with dark skin.
  • Bronzers.  They usually have warm tones, so choose any brown with a matte effect.
  • Shadows and eyeliner. If the skin is dark, use darker and warmer shades of orange, copper and bronze, and if light, then purple, pink and blue are used.
  • Pomade. Blondes with light eyes can choose almost any color of lipstick. But the best ones are red, pink and coral shades. If the skin is pale, bright reds and pinks are preferred, and if the skin is dark, shining corals and apricots are preferred.

Makeup for light eyes and light hair, like any other, must be done consciously – not only carefully select colors and tones, but also be attentive to the texture of the products and tools for applying them. In our article you will find a make-up option for any occasion.
