Eyeshadow Tips For Blue Eyes

Pink Eye Shadow
Pink is a smart choice for people with blue eyes. Usually natural blue eyes are accompanied by fair complexion and the colour pink look very subtle on people with fair skin.

Shades of orange provide a pleasant contrast to blue eyes and highlight them thereby amplifying the blue eyes. You can choose anything from coral, peach, rust, copper or any other such shades of orange that will not make you look like a clown as bright orange shades might otherwise make you look.
