What colour lipstick goes with blue eyeshadow? Nude and pink shades work amazingly well when paired with blue eyeshadow. Candy pink and nude plum shades are also gorgeous.

And have a pink lip gloss just to kind of balance it out now. Again it's not a rule of thumb it's just general guide.

In this case, red and orange tones are opposite blue on the wheel. If that sounds a bit bold for your style, don't worry, it translates slightly differently to eye makeup. Riddle suggests using the hues as a guide for undertones, and opting for shades of copper, brown, gold, and peach to enhance blue eyes.

Earth-Toned Neutrals Earthy tones like soft taupes and browns can enhance blue eyes, and when paired with a rich black eyeliner, they add the right amount of drama to the look without being overpowering. When experimenting with soft brown tones, you can mix and match a few different colors to create a nice variation.

Now for me. And I'm wearing a cool color eyeshadow say I have a purple smokey eye it's bright purple.

Consciously men have all sorts of varied feelings and prejudices about women wearing lipstick, regardless of the shade, but studies (one in particular carried out at Manchester University in 2010) have shown red lipstick does attract more attention from men than any other colour.

Colors to Avoid for Blue Eyes Steer clear from blue and green eyeshadows. A color that's too close to your own irises makes your eyes look small and scrunched.

Brown or gold tones, trending towards yellow, make the blue of your eyes even more intense. A little shimmer goes a long way too. Select a soft, matte eyeshadow that compliments your skin tone and don't forget to use a little eye makeup primer.

Like we mentioned, the best eyeshadow for mature eyes tends to be cream formulas, since they won't settle into fine lines. That said, it's a good idea to set cream products with powder formulas to avoid any transfer. You can do this for both your eyeshadow and eyeliner, by using a matte eyeshadow.

And a true red is neither too warm or too cool. So it also suits. Almost every woman this red is inspired by the shade. Created by Max Factor for Marilyn Monroe.

For warm undertones, go for lipstick shades with golden, orange, and red undertones. For cool undertones, opt for lipstick shades with pink, blue, and purple undertones. Neutral undertones can wear a wide range of lipstick shades, but shades with a mix of warm and cool undertones can be especially flattering.

Comparison Table

Nude shades that are slightly darker than your natural skin tone are ideal for faking a fuller lip. High contrast shades (like super-light lipstick on darker skin tones or deep hues on fair skin tones) can actually make your lips appear smaller.

Gold and hues with tints of red and yellow, like orange, copper, and warm, brownish tones are perfect for emphasizing your blue irises. The contrast between these pigments and the blueness of your eye will really make them pop! So, as you can deduce, warm shades brighten up blue eyes and make them dazzle and shine.
