Colors to Avoid for Blue Eyes
Avoid tone-on-tone! Steer clear from blue and green eyeshadows. A color that’s too close to your own irises makes your eyes look small and scrunched. But if you absolutely have to try it out, go for a blue smoky eye with a shade that is darker than your own. A combo of blue and silver, or blue and gold, creates an immediate and dazzling effect.
Got gray-blue eyes? Than you can definitely go for bluish tones if you apply them with a gradient effect.
