Do you think that blue eye liner helps the eyes look more or less blue? Does it add to the blue-ness or detract from it? Always torn using blue of brown liner. (Lashes are blonde, so I use brown mascara).

    A good dark Navy liner will make your eyes bluer.... but be careful, if you have a pink/red undertone in your skin like I do... anything with a purple hue or plum tends to make my eyes look tired or red?

    brown liner always makes my blueish gray eyes look more blue...especially with brown shadow or pink shadow

    Definitely NOT blue. I usually do plum or brown eyeliner but I usually only line the top of my eye not the bottom. Maybe that's what makes a difference.

    It also makes a big difference depending on the color I wear.

    I find that a slate (gray) liner and pink/purple toned eye shadow emphasizes the blue best. I would think that blue liner (if bluer than your eyes) would make the eyes look dull by comparison. That's why I go with gray.

    As for pink/purple, I read that it does bring out the blue in eyes. Seems to work for me.

    Mascara...pure black. My eyelashes are blonde and need all the help they can get!

      Okay girls...purpleish will bring out the green, plum is good and softer, but to REALLY emphasize blue eyes, a copper/brown works wonders. Take a slanted makeup brush--get one at an art store, too (reg paint brush, slanted tip), and get some coppery eyeshadow on the tip and sort of line your eyes with it--or just use coppery eyeliner. The copper is sort of an 'opposite' of the blue and will totally bring your blue eyes out. Try it! I was amazed at how intense it makes blue eyes!

            i always look better with pink eyeshadow and light brown eye liner or mascara, I have yellow undertone skin and icy blue gray eyes!

            I think it depends on your skin tone and colour of your eyes are they mixed blue,light blue,deep blue I think everyone should expieriment and get opinions from others!


            If you have a redish undertone skin don't wear pink you'll look like a beet! ( just and example)

    I ususally go with a black liner to define and then a orange/brown shadow to bring out the blue. works pretty well but I have to be careful, orange shadow can get out of hand...
