Emphasize blue eyes with black mascara? That works, of course - but if you really want to make your eye color shine, you should use another shade. You can find out what this is here!

Black mascara is the make-up classic par excellence-intense, defined, dramatic. But especially with light skin and blonde hair (or) can quickly look too hard.

The harsh contrast to the soft colors of your eyes, your skin and hair makes you older and, above all, more serious than you are probably nice. If you want a fresh look and intensely shining blue eyes, you should better use your other mascara color.

The perfect mascara color for blue eyes

If you want to make blue eyes shine and strengthen their intensity, you should rely on colored contrasts.

Blue eyes with warm, reddish mascara colors come into its own-such as Burgundy, rust red or orange nuances. Orange lies in the color circle compared to blue, so it is its complementary color. Complementary colors reinforce each other. The result: with the right mascara color, blue eyes look blue.

Mascara in warm rust tones ensure a fascinating contrast that really shines the cool blue of your iris - without any hard lines.

My tip:If you are reddish tones or nuances towards orange for mascara, you can toograb. This look is more subtle and still emphasizes your eye color better than hard black.

What applies to the mascara also applies to the eyeshadow: blue eyes come out very big with warm red and orange tones. Just think of the colors of a sunset in summer, then you are in the right color world when it comes to your eye make-up.

My tip:Instead of buying a new eyeshadow palette, you can also simply use your bronzer as eyeshadow.
