Eye shadow for blonde hair/blue eyes/fair skin?

i have quite blonde hair, gray/blue eyes and fairish skin. what eyeshadow can i use without looking like a drag queen!!Eye shadow for blonde hair/blue eyes/fair skin?
If you want a natural shadow to tone in with blue eyes, try greys, silver, blues, cool, brown, taupe and soft violets. For more of a contrast if you want, or to make your eyes seem to look more blue, choose a gold, warm brown, russet, peach, terracotta, copper or bronze.Eye shadow for blonde hair/blue eyes/fair skin?
i love makeup, and i'm always experimenting with different colors on my brown skin... maybe i can help you out a little.





i think you want to make your eye color pop out against your skin tone, but you want to do it using subtle colors. no problem at all. use a color that is comparable to your eye color right above the crease in your eyelid. make sure it's a light blue or gray and that it's a pearl color (shiny) rather than a matte color (smooth). right underneath that, use a darker neutral color like a matte brown to give contrast between your eye and your signature color (this should be applied on your lid, up to the blue or gray). smudge some really light silver (pearl), or maybe even a white color (pearl) in the corners of your eyes and line your lower lashline with it. apply brown mascara to create the subtle but long look for your lashes.





if you really don't understand what i typed, try out almay's remedy. you can find their formula for blue/gray eyes in walmart, cvs, rite-aid... pretty much any drug store. and the colors they choose go so well with anything you wear.





really, the only way you can look like a drag queen is if you put way too much eyeshadow or liner on your eyes. if you keep it light and simple, you'll be fine. also, you can transform your look from day to night just by simply smudging a dark matte color on the edges of your eyes... it contrasts light and dark.





i hope i helped!
I agree with Shirley, natrual eyeshdows, light ones. not dark ones and not too much.

Blues and Browns would probably work the best i'm the same except i have green eyes
You sound like me!!!! well i use this creamy pinkish color and it looks really good and i mix it with some tan brown and i really like it! you can also do a smokey eye look that is a little more sexy with greys....


hope i helped! %26lt;3
I have the same coloring as you, just green eyes. I can tell you from experience that you need to use what is called ';Autumn'; colors. The light tans, light browns, light greys, light rose and stuff that doesn't blare out and such will work very nicely. I can tell you right now, blues, even though you have blue eyes, do NOT work. Makes fair skinned people look like clowns.


I also recommend that seeing you have fair skin that you use meneral makeup eyeshadow. It's all natural and won't cause your skin to break out.
I have dark hair and dark eyes, so if applied right I can pretty much get away with any colors - which is how my sister quickly found out she couldn't. She has your same coloring. She was always getting into my make-up and had to learn the hard way that a lot of the colors wouldn't work for her. My mother also has the same coloring as you, and they have found that light shades of gray and green work best. I think it's CG makes a eye color enhancer eye shadow set that applies to all different eye colors. The colors are specifically designed to go with your certain eye color. A color that also looks really pretty on my mom are any light browns - they look really natural but add just a hint of color.
well you have quite the universal palette! day look try colors similar to your skin tone nuetrals that are light with a bit of shimmer pastells work too and try using an actual brush instead of that thing they give you angled ones work great too for night pick colors that would kinda make your eyes pop terracotta colors purples golds blues are ok too just try to go for ones that have hints of silver in them not teals or bright blues yuk lol dont wanna look like mimi lol





but seriously.. light colors in general that bring out the pinks and peaches in your skintone would work as well. a godd idea would be to stay away from anything too dark and bright no hot pinks reds or blk or drk purplesand alweay with a brush medium shades turn out a little lighter but stil true to color so no color fade jjust not caked and to dark . experiment and have fun thats what its all about. have a girls night with friends and try things out. see what you like and dont. try techniques and give yourselves facials.. its fun and you learn sounds corny i know but its true!
a shimmery brown would look beautiful on you!! brown is the opposite of your eye color so it makes the blue stand out. i also have blue eyes.
pale pink


pale brown???
Someone mentioned the peach color. Great idea. I use it and I have similar coloring. Very versitile.
