Cruelty-Free Makeup for Blue Eyes
Cruelty-Free Makeup for Blue Eyes
Today I’m sharing cruelty-free makeup for blue eyes – an eyeshadow tutorial to make your blue eyes pop. My eyes are blue-green, so depending on what colors I wear they look more blue or more green. Rarely, they will look grey or teal.
Normally, I don’t wear an all-shimmer eyeshadow look because I have hooded eyes. However, I thought I’d break the rules and give it a try with the Geek Chic Doggo set. The Doggo set is made up of 6 eyeshadows that work well together with Doin’ Me a Frighten (bright purple), Mlem (peachy rose), Smol Pupper (beige mauve), Heck (brown with mint shift), Bork (highly reflective bronze), and Bamboozled (complex brown duochrome).

Makeup for Blue Eyes- Peach & Terrecotta
Rust, terracotta, orange and peach colors will make your blue eyes pop. The Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette is perfect for that. See my review.
Makeup for Blue Eyes – Browns
Deep browns, beiges, and chocolate browns can really help to enhance blue eyes. Deep browns like Urban Decay Thunderbird are gorgeous. Golds, bronzes and coppers work too.
Makeup for Blue Eyes – Purples
Yes, you can even make blue eyes pop when you wear certain shades of purple, like this red-toned purple. See my tutorial.
Makeup for Blue Eyes Tutorial
While brown eyeshadow is not my personal favorite, I know most people love it, so I created the tutorial below using brown eyeshadow for blue eyes. This eyeshadow shape is excellent for hooded eyes but you can adapt it to all eye shapes.
Be sure to prime your eyes with eyeshadow primer and then set with translucent setting powder. I use medical tape to help me get a nice clean edge but if you don’t like tape you can always clean up with a pointed q-tip later.
1. Use a fluffy brush to apply Geek Chic Bork to the crease.
2. Smudge Makeup Geek Corrupt through the roots of the upper and lower lashes. Doesn’t have to be neat.
3. Use a shader brush to apply Geek Chic Bork to the lower lid.
4. Deepen outer crease with Geek Chic Bamboozled.
5. Mix Makeup Geek Corrupt with Geek Chic Heck and apply to outer V, then blend it out.
6. Pat Geek Chic Smol Pupper on the lid, inner lower lid, and under the eyebrow to highlight. Finish with Mascara.

Thank you for this post!! I am obsessed the Naked heat palette because it makes my eyes look bluer. I will be saving this post for more ideas.
thank you for the tips!
Great colors and tutorial! These shades would also looks stunning on green eyes. I really like the “shop your stash” feature at the end. It’s very helpful.
Your eyes always pop! I love all the looks, but mostly the purple!
Having blue eyes and and a fair complexion with cool undertones, I find that the current trend of warm and golden ayashadows does nothing for me. These warm and golden shades wash me out. The berry and reddish shades, also trendy, make the hint of redness of my blue eyes come out and don’t work well with my cool skin undertone. I’ve grown tired of greys. So my go-to colour schemes now are browns and purples… I love the purple makeup on you, it really makes your beautiful eye color pop!
Your eyes are stunningly beautiful, Courtney! I love the brown and the purple looks on you so much!
I like the purples the most on you!
Beautiful looks all! Your eyes look so duochrome/blue-green – gorgeous!
I like the purples best!!
It’s amazing how much the shades in a palette like Urban Heat can bring out the blue. Not everyone is open to that but it makes a unique look. I’m glad you did a brown look since that’s my jam.
You have beautiful eyes, mesmerizing!!!
