Nowadays, more and more bridesprefers to do their own festive makeup, since no one but themselves can emphasize that very highlight, hiding all the flaws that embarrass girls. Of course, wedding makeup for blue eyes is very different from the usual everyday makeup, but many modern representatives of the fair sex have honed the art of applying cosmetics to such an extent that sometimes even an experienced specialist cannot compare with their skill.
Make-up: choose colors
To the lucky owners of bottomless blueThe eyes are the luckiest, as they suit almost all shades that exist in nature. However, to further emphasize the extraordinary beauty and color, pale pink, blue, gray-brown, silver and golden tones should be used.
- Blue Blue
Please note that choosing the shades of thatthe same tone as the eyes is considered bad taste. When choosing blue shades for blue eyes, girls actually take a big risk, since in this case there is no golden mean: it will either be very good, or so bad that neither a beautiful and expensive dress, nor a stylish hairstyle, nor a cute face of the bride will save the situation. This type of makeup should be applied if you have any element of the same shade (hair clip, beads on the neck, ribbons, outfit decor, etc.). Turquoise looks more delicate - something between blue and green colors.
- Lavender and lavender shades
Are you used to being bright and irresistible?Then opt for purple shades. Of course, if you bought a perfectly white dress, this option will be inappropriate, but for a themed wedding you can’t think of a better look. However, be careful when using and combining such colors, because if you overdo it a little, dark “bruises” will be visible around your beautiful blue eyes in photographs.

It is enough to paint the inner corners of the movable eyelid with lighter shadows to give expressiveness to the look, and to the outer ones - apply darker shades and shade. To make it easier for you to decide on the final option, experiment in front of the mirror.

Common mistakes of blue-eyed brides while applying makeup
- Using a black pencil
Unfortunately, not all girls notice that blackEyeliner for blue eyes is simply deadly, as it makes them cloudy, dark and slightly grayish. That is why it is also not recommended to use black eyeliner. In this case, it is best to stick to dark blue, brown or even lighter colors.
- Application of sequins
The next mistake that is made isrepresentatives of the fair sex - wedding makeup with a lot of glitter. Firstly, because of them there will be glare on the face in the photos, secondly, on a cloudy day they can look dull and in the wrong lighting they look like dust or dirt.
- The combination of inappropriate colors
When choosing wedding makeup for blue eyes,focus on the hair color, face shape and, most importantly, the tone of the outfit. In no case should you take blue eyeliner, purple eyeshadow, brown mascara if you are wearing a red or green dress. This is acceptable only if you are not having a completely standard wedding with an emphasis on excessive creativity.
Let's proceed to the process: we make the makeup step by step
Wedding makeup for blue eyes should besimple, light, barely noticeable, so that the bride looks fresh and attractive, and not funny and tired. In addition, a ton of foundation, two or three layers of powder and blush, ten types of eyeshadow and a lot of mascara stuck to the eyelashes will leak on a hot sunny day or in a warm room. As a result, the girl will have to constantly leave to touch up her makeup, otherwise her face will shine too much in wedding photos and videos. Recently, almost all professional makeup artists adhere to the rule - the less makeup, the better. So, the first thing you need to do is prepare your face for makeup. To do this, you will need a base that matches your skin color. Using a sponge, apply a small amount of foundation to your face and neck and wait until it is absorbed. To fix the result, after five minutes, go over the surface with a special brush with a small amount of powder. If you don’t want your face to look like a mask, a darker foundation applied to the wings of the nose and cheekbones will help add volume. Another nuance that every girl should remember is that only concealer is applied to the area around the eyes. After you’ve finished with the base, you can move on to your eyebrows. Comb them with a special brush, then apply a transparent gel to the hairs. Unnatural blondes are advised to lighten their eyebrows a little four to five days before the wedding, and brunettes are advised to tint them with a special dye. Only after all of the above procedures can you start applying eyeshadow, following the rule – from a light tone to a darker one. When finished, it is recommended to shade them with a soft brush, moving from the bridge of the nose towards the temple to smooth out the balance between the colors. The next step is to apply mascara. In order for it to be distributed more evenly and add volume to the eyelashes, first comb them with a brush, then use colorless mascara. As for lipstick, there are three options. If you are planning to do natural wedding makeup and have chosen delicate tones for blue eyes, it is better to paint your lips with gloss. Pinkish or light brown lipstick is chosen for purple, orange, pearlescent shadows, otherwise the face will look too defiant. But for girls who have chosen Smoky-eyes, bright lipstick will be needed to make the image harmonious. And the final touch: stretch your lips into a tube and apply a small amount of blush to the protruding cheekbones. Be careful, do not choose dark purple, brown or red colors, as few people know how to correctly combine them with a specific shade of lipstick and shadows. Remember, the brighter you choose makeup for blue eyes, the less of this product you will need.
Small secrets of brides
If you want your lipstick to last as long asas long as possible, before applying it, lightly powder your lips. After you have applied your makeup, lightly bite a napkin to remove any residue that may smudge. Also, do not forget to paint the contours with a pencil, which will help add volume to thin lips or remove volume from overly thick lips. To prevent mascara from getting on your eyelids while painting, and to prevent you or your friends from having to erase and reapply makeup, close your eyes, put your finger under your eyelashes and gently run the brush along the entire length from the base to the tips. After this procedure, it will be enough to wash your hands with soap, which will take much less time than if you start all over again. Your makeup is finished, but you are not satisfied with the result, because you think you applied too much eyeshadow or blush? Powder will help you fix the situation, which will slightly muffle the bright colors. You can also mask makeup mistakes with a foundation.
