Default Bright Colours

This is my first post in quite a while, no longer O.S, I'm happy to be home in Oz.

Anyways, I've been updating my makeup look because its all starting to look a bit 'beige'.

Any suggestions on bright colours for blue eyes (coupled with fair skin and dark hair)? I love lilacs, corals and hot pink on eyes (applied subtlely of course). My usual trick is to apply it as eyeliner with a thin line of black eyeliner on top and lots of mascara, as well as natural lipstick and blush.


Any ideas would be much appreciated

Have you seen Almay's Intense i-color? Their shades for blue eyes makes me wish I had blue eyes!! LOL
I have the set for brown eyes, but it doesn't "pop" as well as the blue set.
That would be the first make up I'd buy if my eyes were blue.

ohh another aussie !

well the opposite of blue is orange, so anything warm (as you said before, corals and pinks) will accentuate your eyes.
i tend not to wear much black eyeliner in the summer, at least not in the day, and instead masacara just to open my eyes.
But with your contrasting fair skin and dark hair, anything would look good on you!

Ooh yes, the green set is pretty too.
I wonder if it would bring out the green shades in a brown- or blue-eyed person? Might be worth a try.

When it comes to eyeshadow colour, i believe there are no rules! If you think it looks good on you, and so do other people, then go for it!!!!!
