If you’ve thought cool tones are too much, think again. From cobalt to navy, a dark or royal blue shimmer can be accentuate the depth in dark brown eyes.
Blue’s natural cool hues also bring a refreshing and healthy flush to the face, as we often associate the color blue with feelings such as calmness, relaxation, and hydration. For neutral-to-cool-toned fair and dark skin alike, a shimmery blue can be gorgeous. If you have a mixed palette of undertones, a bit of blue and purple can help bring the appropriate color to your eyes.
That said, blue shadow can be tricky to work with on yellow undertone skin, as it can turn grey or green. When applying blue eyeshadow — regardless of skin tone — start with by applying nude base to ensure an even product application. Then, using a light blue shade, apply the color across each lid before going in with a darker shade. Add darker colors like navy or royal blue to blend the corners of your eyes, mixing in a small dose of black shadow if color isn’t dark enough. Finish off with a shimmery blue in the center and a little in the corner. Once you’re all shadowed out, it’s time to show off your new makeup look!
