Eyeliner

While choosing the eyeliner shades for blue eyes, you should opt for darker colors as they will help highlight blue eyes well. Choose shades like brown, dark green, charcoal gray, black, or dark blue.

If you want smudged look, opt for eye pencil shades of the same color as the eyeliner. Remember not to apply light colors as they can underplay your blue eyes considerably.

Eyeshadow

Choosing the correct eyeshadow shades is the most important aspect of any eye makeup. Eyeshadow shades like deep blue, purple, mauve, lilac, taupe, violet and gray will work well for blue eyes.Pink or rose would also do quite well with blue eyes.

Purchasing eyeshadow palettes or duo eyeshadow is a good option to find the perfect shades.

Mascara
