If you're a makeup artist, or have blue eyes, what's the best (subtle) makeup that will really accentuate blue eyes? I would think bronze eyeshadow... any other ideas? Let's hear your tips!

Blue liner under the eye.
The line should run from the outer corner till 1/4 or 1/2 of the iris.
You could also do it until where the eye lashes stop for a more '80s look. The other option is more subtle.

I use a deep brown eyeliner under the eye, brown mascara top and bottom, and 2 natural shades of eyeshadow above.

When I tried using blue makeup products it did NOT have the desired affect on my eyes.

maybe it depends what shade of blue your eyes are. my eyes are very dark blue & they look very nice with blue liner.

I know this is totally not the answer you're looking for but I just read this in the readers digest and thought it was funny.

Or dye your hair very dark.
Dark hair and blue eyes ..............................................................my favorite combination.

What does it mean to make your eyes "pop"?

Bronze colors and brown works with me.

I do use blue eyeliner sometimes.

I use bronze eyeshadow.
I have very pale blue eyes and using blue liner makes me look odd, and blue eyeshadow makes me look like I've been punched.
I use a very dark black eyeliner and I find it makes my eyes look even more blue.

I am a make up artist and yes- it does depend on the shade of blue, as well as skin color and hair color. my mom has stunning light blue eyes with brown hair and she looks best with borwn eyeliner and bronze eye shadow. she wears blue on a daily basis but the brown is so much nicer because of the contrast, really does make her eyes stick out.

A relative just bought a new wig, darker than she usually wears. One of the first comments she got was "I never knew you had blue eyes!"

For my blue eyes, mascara was the #1 beauty product that accentuated my eyes the most. All of a sudden even my mother asked if I had my face done.

mascara will do that to anyone's eyes- no matter what color. best to curl the lashed then apply mascara to every single eyelash, will really open up the eyes.

My eyes are a pretty shade of blue, but rather small. Is there anything I can do to give the impression they are bigger?

If you put eyeliner only half way around the outer half of your eyes, it makes your eyes look bigger.
