Makeup is a perfect way to express your personality and highlight your best features.

So, if you're lucky enough to have blue eyes, it's important to find the ideal lipstick color that will enhance your gaze.
In this article, Pomponne explores the best options to enhance your blue eyes with the right lipstick choice.

Matching lipstick color to your blue eye shade 💎

There are several shades of blue eyes: light, dark, or even slightly green.

Depending on the shade of your eyes, some lipstick colors will be more flattering than others:

• Light blue eyes: opt for orange, coral, or nude lipsticks to brighten your gaze.
• Dark blue eyes: choose darker lipsticks such as poppy reds to create an intense contrast.
• Blue-gray eyes: choose soft colors like coral lipsticks to bring a touch of freshness to your look.
• Blue-green eyes: go for orange and pink lipsticks like rose lipstick because orange will pair well with the blue in your eyes and pink with the green.

As you've understood, for blue eyes, the preferred color is orange! And yes, it's the one that contrasts best with blue because they are complementary colors, but there are subtleties.

You can also consider your skin tone and hair color. Depending on whether you have a matte, light, dark, or black complexion, you can opt for warm or cool colors.

Which lipsticks suit blondes?

Do you have blonde hair and don't know which lipstick color to choose? Depending on the shades of blonde, different tints are recommended.

Platinum Blonde Hair: Opt for shades like Pale Pink, Raspberry, or Nude. These colors enhance the icy undertones of your hair.

Light Blonde Hair: Coral, peach, pale pink, or even a cherry red suit perfectly. They add freshness and highlight the natural luminosity of your hair.

Dark Blonde Hair: Turn to warmer tones like Terracotta, Rosewood, Couture Red, or Winter Rose. These colors enhance contrast and add depth to the face.

Now you'll know which shade best suits your blonde hair!

The best lipstick colors for blue eyes 🔵

Coral Lipstick

Coral is another interesting option to enhance blue eyes.

This color brings a touch of freshness to your look and instantly brightens your eyes. It's a shade that's perfect for an everyday look.

Don't hesitate to opt for peach, apricot, or salmon shades to vary the pleasures and find the one that suits you best.

Poppy Red Lipstick

Red lipstick is a beauty staple, and it harmonizes perfectly with blue eyes.

Choose lipsticks with orange undertones and warm shades, which will tend to contrast the blue of your eyes, such as poppy red for example.

Plum Lipstick

When you're looking to create a dramatic and intense look to enhance blue eyes, plum can be an excellent choice.

This rich and dark color will bring out the purity of your irises while adding a glamorous and sensual touch to your makeup.

However, plum color does not suit every skin tone. It is advisable to avoid this shade if you have porcelain skin or a fair complexion. In this case, you can opt for a Winter Rose.

On the other hand, it is highly recommended if you have matte or dark skin, it's gorgeous!

Fuchsia Pink Lipstick

Fuchsia pink is a very versatile lipstick color, suitable for both fair and matte skin tones.

With its cool undertones, this shade will create a surprising and very pretty contrast with your blue eyes.

If you have a hint of green in your eyes, prefer a raspberry red shade with warm tones.

Lipstick mistakes to avoid

The combinations we recommend avoiding are associating "extremes," for example: no colors too dark for light skin, and conversely, no colors too light for dark skin.

Adapting your lipstick to your skin tone

You can also adapt your lipstick based on your skin's undertone.

1. For Fair to very fair skin, the ideal shades:

• • Pale pink, rosy nude, light peach
  • Raspberry red, soft coral shade

2. For Medium / golden beige skin, the ideal shades:

• • Rosewood, coral, reddish-orange (poppy)
  • Cherry red, raspberry

3. For Matte to dark skin, the ideal shades:

• • Plum, Cherry Red, Garnet
  • Brown nude, intense orange like Orange Sixties

4. For Black skin, the ideal shades:

• • Violet like Plum, Garnet, Brown Nude or Fuchsia
  • Orange Sixties, Poppy Red

Tip 💡: for even more precision during application, you can use a lip brush if necessary, especially for intense shades like reds and purples.

Tips and tricks for makeup suitable for blondes with blue eyes 🙌🏻

Are you a blonde with blue eyes? Focus on simple eye makeup to keep all eyes on your lips and the color of your irises.

Colored mascaras are an interesting option to change from black mascara and add a touch of color to your look. Opt for blue for a tone-on-tone look or brown mascara for a softer gaze. We give you our tips for adapting your mascara to your eye color.

Similarly, for eye makeup, if you're using eyeshadow, using palettes suitable for the autumn or winter season with warm tones (peach, copper, bronze, gold) or cool tones (lilac, dusty pink, light taupe) can enhance your gaze without stealing the show. The same applies if you wear eyeliner.

Tip 💡: add a touch of highlighter which will bring a point of light to the inner corner of the eye and further enhance your face.

Finally, don't forget to take care of your lips by exfoliating them with a gentle scrub once a week and moisturizing them daily with our hydrating lipstick and its creamy texture.

To conclude

Now that you're armed with all these tips, all you have to do is try different colors and textures to find the perfect shade that will highlight the beauty of your blue eyes.
