I’ll be the first to admit it: I used to just slap on whatever eyeshadow color was having a moment without a second thought for my own eye color.
But when I realized I could be making my blue eyes seriously stand out, it was a total game-changer. If you’re ready to make your eyes the main event, I’ve pulled together a bunch of looks you’re going to be obsessed with.
1. Rose Gold Smokey Eye

A rose gold smokey eye is an absolute must-have this season. I mean, rose gold on its own is a total necessity, but when you make it smokey? Game over.
This is the perfect summer look that will look amazing with your complexion and whatever you’re wearing. Seriously, if you aren’t already obsessed with rose gold, you’re about to be. Go on and shimmer!
2. Blue & Purple Smokey Eye

If you’re looking for eyes that feel colorful and summery, look no further. It might sound surprising, but blue and purple tones work so well with blue eyes.
The golden rule here is to smudge the colors to create that perfect smokey effect! I just love how good this looks, and it’s so easy to take from a day to a night look!
3. Brown & Copper Smokey Eye

Here we have two neutral and natural tones together. You can really use any colors for a smokey effect, but these two are a combo I highly recommend.
With all the new trendy colors, it’s easy to forget about base colors like brown. Brown and copper are basically two peas in a pod. You can just see from the photo how well they complement each other.
The copper goes on the eyelids, while the brown is for the waterline and lower lashes. Using them this way makes the copper really open up your eyes. I’d add just a hint of white to the upper eye and the corner to make those colors pop even more.
4. Light Pink Eye Makeup Look

Are you searching for a look that’s ultra girly and feminine? This is totally it. Blue and pink together are just so pretty, it’ll go with any outfit you put on.
You could finish the look with either a nude or a rosy pink lipstick. It’s such a subtle style, but it’s so effective.
5. Cat Eye + Bright Lower Lash Line

And let’s not forget about a classic cat eye! I know we’ve talked about a ton of gorgeous colors and styles here, but you should definitely experiment with cat eyes.
A cat eye with a bright color on the lower lash line looks so pretty, and the wing adds that perfect touch of drama. I love the idea of pairing this with a gorgeous purple mauve lipstick.
If you go for a matte finish on the lips, the focus will stay on your eyes and everyone will be drawn to those wings.
6. Copper Smokey Eye

Just like rose gold, copper has been trending and getting more and more popular over the years. I think blue eyes mixed with a stunning, shimmering copper eyeshadow looks absolutely unbelievable.
It just works so perfectly. The copper color gives your eyes an instant shine and really brings out the blue.
7. Simple yet Gorgeous.

You really don’t always need dramatic eyes to look sexy. Sometimes, going for a simple but affectionate look is just amazing. I’m a big believer that less is best sometimes.
This earthy, natural look will definitely stand out without needing any heavy eye makeup.
8. Bronze Smokey Eye + Light Pink Lips

A bronze smokey eye tells such a gorgeous story! Just picture it: bronze smokey eyes meet a light pink lipstick, and they live happily ever after! I have so much love for this combination.
There’s really no need for a bold lip color when you have these sensational eyes. Let your eyes do all the talking while your lips just look pretty!
9. Gold Glitter Eyes

Gold glitter eyeshadow seriously works so well with blue eyes. I mean, gold paired with glitter is just amazing. Bring all the sparkle to your eyes with this gorgeous gold sparkle eyeshadow.
The one in the photo uses a lighter shade of gold, which I love. This will make your piercing blue eyes stand out so much. Since this look is pretty heavy on the eyelids, I’d try to tone down your lip color to keep all the focus on your eyes.
10. Vibrant Makeup Look for Summer

Bright makeup is always so much fun to wear. Summer is really all about playing with bright colors, and that doesn’t just have to be your clothes.
You should definitely go for this bright, exciting look this summer.
11. Cut Crease

You can totally release your inner goddess with this cut crease look. The cut crease technique has been getting more and more popular.
It’s a method where your eyelid crease gets outlined, or “cut,” right along the line and then you pair it with a contrasting eyeshadow to really define it. It usually creates a pretty dramatic look.
I know Kim Kardashian is a huge fan of the cut crease, which has made more people aware of this amazing technique.
12. Bright Look for Spring & Summer

Bright eyes and bushy tails! Summer is getting closer and this is the perfect summer look for all you girls with blue eyes. This is such a bright, fun, and sexy style for you to try out.
Just a heads up, once you try it, you won’t want to wear any other color eyeshadow! It’s just so pretty!
13. Gold & Peach Eye Look
Source: @tatianaofficial
The combination of gold and peach has such a lovely, delicate look for blue eyes. This is a perfect way to make your eyes look more open.
Just trace your waterline with a peach eyeliner pencil. Then, add a peach eyeshadow to your lids. The tone used in the photo is a pinky-peach, which leans more pink than orange.
14. Silver Glitter Eye Makeup Look

Everyone loves a little bit of glitter! And let’s be honest, glitter on the eyelids just looks dreamy. It can bring glamour and sparkle to your outfit and might even brighten your mood.
I get it, who wants to be a downer when they have such gorgeous eyes! Silver glitter takes that dreaminess to a whole new level. Blue eyes and silver glitter together look so romantic and sexy.
15. Silver Metallic Eyes

Silver works just as well as neutral and copper colors. The only real difference is that the eyeshadow is already light, so it will highlight your eyes without giving you that dark and mysterious vibe.
This is such a great party eyeshadow. It’s also a perfect look for just chilling in the sun. When the sun hits it, your eyes will sparkle all day long!
16. Rose Gold Glitter Eyes
Source: @_tiarni_
I love how stunning rose gold glitter eyes look. As you can see from this picture, the glitter is only on the eyelid.
I know it can be hard not to get glitter everywhere, but for this particular look, try to keep it just on the eyelid.
17. Rose Gold Glitter Eyes

Rose gold is literally everywhere. It has been trending for absolutely everything and it’s definitely not going anywhere. This color is just so pretty and girly.
You can see right away why this color is such a great match for blue eyes.
18. Navy Blue Smokey Eye
Source: @efpemakeup
Whoever told you that you can’t mix blue eyeshadow with blue eyes was so wrong. Just look at this gorgeous combination and tell me it isn’t sexy!
So many people think that wearing blue eyeshadow with blue eyes won’t show off how sexy your eyes are, but I totally disagree. This photo has that wow factor and I can just picture it looking amazing with a cute summer dress.
19. Dark Gold Smokey Eye
Source: @lookamillion
If you’re just not feeling bright colors, you can always go for a darker shade. This is a gorgeous dark gold smokey-eyed look. As you can see, it still looks incredible, and it doesn’t have to be bright.
Picking the right eyeshadow color really depends on what you’re wearing that day, what mood you’re in, and where you’re going. Have fun picking your shade!
20. Dark Green Glitter Eyes
Source: @_tiarni_
Dark colors are just perfect for light blue eyes. This dark green glitter combo will really enhance your blue eyes and add a little touch of glam.
To get a dark but wide-eyed look, make sure you add a pop of white to the corner of your eyes. This will break up the darkness just a little bit. The colors blend so well together. I’d pair this with a light-colored lipstick.
21. Black Smokey Eye Tutorial
Source: @theamazingworldofj
We all know that black looks good with any eye color, especially blue eyes! Black eyeshadow creates a dark and mysterious vibe, which shows off your sexy blue eyes.
This is a gorgeous black smokey look that has just a hint of glitter. It’s so glamorous and beautiful!
22. Brown Smokey Eye
Source: @kurlykaya
Brown smokey eyes are just sensational. We know from the looks above that gold and copper tones are incredible, but what about the brown shades?
It’s always good to have a bunch of colors in your makeup bag, but don’t forget the basics. You don’t have to think that just because it’s a basic brown, the final look will be boring.
Just look at the photo above. That’s brown, and it looks amazing. It really shows off your beautiful blue eyes. Brown eyeshadows look incredible with the smokey technique.
Plus, if you have a brown-based eyeshadow, you can wear any color outfit and look great. This goes for lipstick, too; nudes and pinks work so well.
23. Purple Lower Lash Line
Source: @theamazingworldofj
A striking purple lower lash line looks absolutely divine! Let your love for purple shine with this gorgeous, stunning purple glitter.
The glitter is only applied to the lower lash area of your eyes, so don’t go too crazy! This is a more subtle glitter look, but we have other styles on here that are less understated, so you can definitely try out both ways.
24. Green Smokey Eye
Source: @angelabright
Emerald green is a color you can rock all year round. You have to make sure you have this color in your makeup bag this season.
Wear this green smokey eye look, and when the sun catches the green, you’ll know you look incredible. You’ll get so many compliments!
25. Teal Green Smokey Eye
Source: @jmkmxo
Smokey eyes are simply the best! For a sexy, elegant look, you can never go wrong with a smokey eye. Teal green works so well with this style.
For more impact, add the same color eyeshadow to your lower lash area. This is a simple and easy technique that will take you no more than 10 minutes to do.
Smokey eyes are so easy to get right, just smudge with your finger or an eye brush, whatever you like best.
26. Black & White Eyeliner

It’s wedding and summer season, so I’m sure you’ll be invited to tons of parties. If you’re looking for something different and striking for blue eyes, you have to check out this look.
By pairing black and white eyeliners, you’ll create a day-to-evening style that will look amazing all day long. Just make sure to add the white eyeliner to your bottom waterline to really open up your eyes.
This is even a great look for festivals or just chilling on the beach!
27. Champagne & Purple Eye Look
Source: @tatianaofficial
Who ever would have thought that champagne and purple could look so good together? This photo totally proves they look amazing and so elegant.
People usually blend both colors on the eyelid, but with this look, the two colors are kept separate. Purple is only on the lower lash area, and the champagne is on the eyelid.
I’d add a touch of white to the corner of your eye to finish it off.
28. Neutral Eye Makeup Tutorial
Source: @iheartmakeupart
If you have bright blue eyes, neutral tones look absolutely stunning. You really don’t have to go heavy with bright colors to show off your sparkly eyes. Earthy and neutral tones are so striking and beautiful.
If you do feel like wearing vibrant colors, you can always add a luscious red lipstick to brighten up your whole look. Don’t be fooled by the basic color of the eyeshadow; trust me and give it a try.
You’ll be surprised and will love the natural vibe.
29. Gold Eyes + Dark Lips
Source: @auroramakeup
I am totally feeling this look! Gold eyes with dark, vampy lips look so intense and striking.
If you’re used to wearing neutral tones, why not try something different? Be bold and brave today!
30. Gold Glitter Eyes

Bring some sparkle and glitter into your life and your outfit. Go for this stunning gold glitter look for a vibrant, shining appearance. Add the glitter under your eyes and in the corners.
And remember, you can never have enough glitter with this look, so go for it, girl! Before you know it, you’ll have glitter in your hair, on your clothes, and you’ll be a walking glitter girl!
31. Gold Glitter Eyes Tutorial
Source: @theamazingworldofj
Gold works so incredibly well with blue. Maybe it’s because gold is a neutral tone, but you really can’t beat this color when it comes to showing off blue eyes.
All the other colors on this list are amazing, but gold truly stands out.
