Moisturize your skin

To create daytime makeup for gray eyes, start by moisturizing your skin. For young skin, for example, the Advanced Génifique youth activator is perfect - it will reliably protect it from dehydration, and it will also be quickly absorbed.

Apply tone

In daytime makeup, it is best to use cushion-format foundations - they will help you create a make-up in just a couple of seconds. Apply Teint Idole Ultra Fluid Cushion all over the face and blend from the center of the face to the peripheral area with fingertips in patting movements.

In autumn, it is better to choose a foundation that is more nourishing and moisturizing - at this time of the year, the skin often becomes dehydrated.

Apply concealer

  • Apply concealer to the inner corners of the eyes and gently blend with fingertips towards the center under the eyes (we used Effacernes Long Tenue). Try not to apply the product on the outer corner of the eye, in the area of ​​mimic wrinkles.
  • Blend the rest of the concealer on the fingers on the moving part of the eyelids, if there is redness. So the tone will turn out even on the whole face.

Make up your eyebrows

  • Gently comb your eyebrows with a brush in the direction of hair growth.

  • Fill in the "gaps" with a pencil in those places where there is a lack of color, and carefully distribute the texture of the pencil along the entire length of the eyebrow. To do this, you can use the Monsieur Big kabuki eyebrow pencil with a brush - it is very easy to create a “smoky” makeup with it. Important: when applying, do not press hard on the pencil - its texture is oily, like lipstick. Lightly distribute it where necessary, and blend well.
  • To fix the hairs, use Sourcils Styler eyebrow gel - it will also add volume to the eyebrows. To make them look more "alive", comb the hairs up and diagonally (lifting them only a little).

Paint over the interstitial space

With a natural shade eyeliner with a waterproof formula, paint over the space between the eyelashes. You can use, for example, Le Crayon Khôl Waterproof in shade 02 Chataigne Brun.

Paint your eyelashes with mascara

Use Hypnôse mascara for daytime makeup, and the new Monsieur Big mascara for evening makeup to give your eyelashes noticeable volume. Important: since eyelashes grow in different directions (those near the inner corners of the eyes stretch towards the inner corners), position the mascara wand to paint them in the desired direction. Don't forget to color the lower lashes as well, focusing on the base of the lashes so that the eyes don't look visually rounder.

Apply blush and highlighter

  • In daytime makeup, there is no need to do intensive sculpting. Refresh your complexion with Blush Subtil Dry Blush in coral 03 Sorbet Corail, also dabbing a little on the cheekbones where highlighter is usually applied.
  • Use Ombre Hypnôse Mono in I102 Pepité Douce, a neutral cream shade, to highlight the top of the cheekbones, the area under the eyebrow and above the upper lip, the bridge of the nose and the center of the chin. Apply a small amount of product to the mobile eyelid along the ciliary contour. Day makeup is ready!

How to make evening makeup from daytime makeup for gray-blue eyes? You will need bright shadows, mascara for volume and creamy lipstick.

photo tutorial for evening makeup for gray-blue eyes

The most versatile eyeshadow shade for gray-blue eyes is taupe or taupe. Shadows are best applied over a pencil to make smokey ice makeup more expressive.

Paint over the ciliary contour and mucous

In evening make-up, the focus on the eyes is usually made brighter. With the same waterproof pencil that we already used in the daytime make-up, apply in a thick line along the ciliary contour and carefully blend with a brush towards the crease of the eyelid and to the temple.

A pencil can be used not with a waterproof formula, but with a regular one - in the process of creating smokey ice, it will be easier to shade this one. But for staining the mucous contour of the eyelid, still choose more persistent means.

Apply shadow

For eye makeup, use La Palette La Rose. Grey-brown spread over the pencil and blend with a double-ended brush from the palette. Lightly dilute the color in the crease area with a pink tint.

Mark it with the Grandiôse Liner. Make the line not bright, but translucent - and apply eyeliner with the applicator plane (this will create additional volume at the ciliary line). With a black shade of shadows from the palette, lightly blend the eyeliner line at the ciliary contour.

Create lip makeup

Line your lips with L'Absolu Rouge Nude Creamy Lipstick in 270 Ambre Cuir (the color should be neutral for balance). Add a dab of Juicy Shaker Bi-Phase Lip Gloss in 300 Lemon Explosion to the center of your lips for a voluptuous and voluptuous look.

What rules to follow when doing makeup for gray eyes? Remember the main ones.

basic makeup rules for gray eyes

Shadows

  • Do not choose shades of shadows of the same color scheme as the clothes. Look for colors with which you can give expression to the look - depending on the time of day.
  • There are well-known rules for daytime and evening make-up: during the day, the shadows are more neutral, pastel colors, in the evening - bright, which are suitable for a party or any other festive event.
  • Be careful with beige-pink and pale pink shades - these may make the color of the eyes duller.
  • Many girls with gray-blue eyes go with any light shadows of cold shades. Blue, white, pink, purple, turquoise, azure and dark blue colors are especially well emphasized.
  • It is very important to be as careful as possible when using the above colors, since almost all of them are quite bright and are unlikely to be suitable for creating light and delicate daytime makeup.
  • If you have blue-gray eyes and fair skin, feel free to use purple - it looks very advantageous on pale skin, especially if you have dark hair. Apply it not to the entire eyelid, but only to the crease to visually enlarge the eyes.

ink

  • Opt for a classic black mascara, such as one with a split effect, and apply in multiple layers. An alternative to black mascara is brown, blue and green.

Eyeliner

  • Choose the shade of the eyeliner depending on the color of the hair: if it is light, draw arrows using sand shades, if it is dark - brown.

Blush

  • When choosing a blush, be guided by the tone of the skin and hair. Brunettes with golden skin and gray-blue eyes, for example, are best suited with terracotta or rich pink blush. Blondes with fair skin - all shades of ocher.

Lipstick

  • With gray - and gray-blue, and gray-green, and gray-brown eyes - almost any shade of lipstick is combined. But consider the type of makeup: nude lipsticks are suitable for everyday, bright pink or coral for the exit version.

Brows

  • Use a brown eyebrow pencil, focusing primarily on the shade of the hair: dark hair will harmoniously complement the eyebrows of a dark brown shade, and for fair-haired girls we recommend choosing light brown products.

How to do makeup for gray eyes, depending on their shade? We talk about the means, shades and make-up techniques for gray eyes interspersed with blue, green and brown colors.

Makeup for gray eyes of different shades

Makeup for gray eyes

  • With gray eyes, shadows of bronze shades will be perfectly combined, with which you can create, for example, a beautiful “haze”. To do this, first bring the mucous membrane with a black pencil, and then apply shadows on the moving eyelid, in the crease and closer to the outer corner of the eye.
  • Another shade that is ideal for girls with gray eyes is copper. With it, you can create either smokey ice or arrows.
  • If the shade of the eyes is light, makeup artists allow the use of gray shades of shadows. But at the same time they should be dark enough to create contrast. Create a "smoke" with a smooth transition of color, using different shades of dark gray (for example, graphite) and silver. Darkening can be done using black shadows.
  • As we have already said, all shades of purple are perfect for gray eyes. "Cat" makeup can be done, for example, using plum shadows. Use Ombre Hypnôse Mono Petit Trésor in shade #46 Hôtel Particulier by Lancôme.

Another non-banal option to focus on gray eyes with makeup is to use mascara or shades of red. Follow our video tutorial to create one.

Even out the color of the eyelids with a concealer.

Apply a dark brown shade to the outer corner. Blend into haze.

Apply a bright red or orange shade to the inner corner of the eye and blend with a brush towards the center of the eyelid.

In the middle of the eyelid, apply a neutral or golden shade of shadows. Eyelashes at the base paint over with a pencil or eyeliner in black.

Makeup for gray-blue eyes

  • Shades of shadows with a metallic sheen are perfectly combined with gray-blue eyes - gold, pink and copper. As well as colors like red, purple and green, which create the necessary contrast in makeup, especially evening.
  • Makeup with smokey ice technique will help create shades of hot pink or coral shade, with a shimmer.
  • For gray-blue eyes, as well as for gray, all shades of red are suitable. You can create, for example, graphic arrows or apply them to the crease of the eyelid.

Makeup for gray-green eyes

  • If the eyes are gray with splashes of green, use brown shadows (dark chocolate, bronze), dark plum, graphite, copper, juicy green.
  • Draw plum arrows along the contour of the eyelashes and blend well - in the event that makeup is planned for everyday.
  • For makeup for every day, arrows are suitable - not black, but, for example, made in different shades of gray. They won't look as bright.
  • A light “haze” in one of the earthy shades (apply a darker color in the crease) is another option for daytime makeup. Complete it with a green eyeliner made with a bright liner with a metallic sheen.

Makeup for gray-brown eyes

  • For gray-brown eyes, shades of olive, dark green, copper and copper-red shades of shadows (or pencil) are perfect.
  • In your case, it is better to change the black eyeliner to any other dark one - for example, brown. And draw colored arrows using purple, dark blue, green shades.

Makeup for brunettes with gray eyes

A casual make-up option for girls with gray-blue eyes - for the office, study or a romantic date.

Apply foundation to the skin using fingers, a brush or a damp egg sponge.

Hide bruises, veins and minor inflammation under the eyes with a concealer. They can also emphasize the back of the nose and the mucous contour of the eyelids in order to “open” the eyes.

From cheekbones to temples, blend coral blush.

For eyebrow makeup, use eyebrow mascara - one that can not only comb, style and fix the hairs, but also fill in the “gaps” between them if the eyebrows lack thickness.

Apply neutral shadows on the eyelid, which, by the way, can also be used as a primer.

Emphasize the mucous and ciliary contours or draw an arrow with a gel pencil.

Cover your lashes with curling mascara in one or more coats.

Shade the lips with a nude pencil to make the makeup more resistant.

Makeup for blondes with gray eyes

Makeup with an emphasis on lips for blondes with gray eyes. Let's try again!

First, prepare your skin. Apply moisturizer and makeup base. And then - foundation and concealer under the eyes. Disguise redness, acne and other skin imperfections with a corrector.

One of the makeup options that is perfect for girls with blond hair and gray eyes is mono-makeup. Choose lipstick and eyeshadow in roughly the same shade and focus on both eyes and lips. Blush can be selected from the same range.

To make the transition between the contrasting shades of the shadows smoother, blend it with another, additional shade, close in color to the skin tone.

Draw the arrows looking straight ahead in the mirror to make the lines symmetrical. Start with the "tails", then check the symmetry and connect them with a line drawn along the ciliary contour.

If necessary, complement evening makeup with false eyelashes to make it more expressive.

To repeat the image of a fatal beauty for a fair-haired girl, follow our step-by-step photo instructions.

On prepared skin (micellar water, moisturizer, tonic), apply foundation: foundation, fluid or mousse. By the way, if you still haven’t found a foundation of a suitable shade, use ours.

Light everyday makeup for blue eyes

Makeup for the office or study should be, firstly, simple to perform: if you bring the actions to automatism, the make-up will take no more than 5 minutes in the end. Secondly, neutral: bright colors are not always appropriate, and choosing an outfit will not be so easy. The image that we propose to repeat corresponds to both parameters!

Makeup with arrows for blue eyes

To learn how to create graphic arrows in a couple of minutes, watch our video!

Arrows can be completely different shapes. A photo selection from fashion shows is another confirmation of this.

For Slavic appearance, the mixing of gray and blue tones in the shade of the eyes is widespread. Therefore, we can safely say that such eyes should often occur, although they gradually actively thin out. With the help of shadows of the right color, you can beautifully emphasize them, making the tone of the eyes really unique and unrepeatable.

Blondes

Blond hair goes well with the same light eyes in blue or gray tones, so gentle shadows are also required. The best daytime make-up for blondes is a natural nude. Cosmetics should be practically invisible, focus on natural eyebrows and pink lips, and try to paint your eyelids with shades slightly darker than skin color that you can find. Light beige shades with a slight orange or golden tint will do.

For the everyday version of blondes, use brown and gray flesh tones, try to paint your eyelids with shades of soothing tones:

  • peach colour;
  • steel, range of gray shades;
  • smokey ice from beige.

For blondes, makeup is often advised with a bright accent on the lips, and not on the blue-gray eyes. In this case, the eyelids should be painted with almost imperceptible shadows so that they do not distract attention. A little brown or burgundy shadows close to the cilia line will do. The main thing is to make sure that there is no strong shine and overflow.

For blondes, makeup in the style of a snow queen or an ice princess is great, especially for ashy hair combined with blue and gray eye tones. Look for examples of what colors suit you specifically, there is a special palette. Take cold shades of shadows:

  • steel color;
  • pronounced blue tone without warm impurities;
  • rich blue color;
  • pink color with mother of pearl;
  • purple colour.

Do not complement them with very dark shadows in the make-up of blondes, but you can use purple shadows for the outer corners of the eyes. A little not too dark colors will be appropriate for an evening out. Avoid painting your eyes with black shadows: they are too bright and noticeable for blondes, they do not match the hair color at all, they muffle the charm of gray and blue eyes.

brunettes

Picking up makeup for brunettes is much easier than for blondes: a dark shade of hair will hide a lot, drawing attention to itself, similarly for gray or light brown hairstyles. There are three paths a girl can take:

  1. Choose a color scheme to match the hair tone of brunettes. Classic brown, coffee, chocolate. Try to make smooth transitions in beige, milky or champagne tone, and your eyes will shine.
  2. Emphasize blue eyes. Good violet, lilac and purple colors.
  3. Emphasize gray notes. Feel free to do darker makeup. Against the background of a black or expressive brown tone of the shadows, gray eyes will sparkle. A similar effect is produced by a set of gray and steel shadows, the main thing is that the shades do not coincide with the eyes, but the reality is a little darker.

Choose the one that is closer to you. Also take into account skin color and its brightness. For pale brunettes, a matte tone is suitable, since the shine will echo the whiteness of the body. The standard option, with which you definitely won’t go wrong, is a gray-lilac color. The usual palette will help you, close shades go well. For more tanned and darker brunettes, iridescent shadows go better, as well as for blondes with dark skin. For example, bronze or golden ones are suitable, which are easy to find in any palette. But pure steel will definitely spoil your appearance if used incorrectly: you can look for examples in the photo.

Do not use pure green shades of shadows. They can unfavorably shade the eyes. But dark green shadows suit brunettes, brown-haired women and fair-haired girls - use green-blue or gray-green colors, that's it.

Brown hair

If the tone of the hair is not very light, but not dark, you should avoid excessively bright make-up of blue-gray eyes. In everyday life, fair-haired girls are best painted with muted colors: lilac or maple shades are suitable. The dark part of the blue range of shadows also looks good. For example, shades that are officially called: signal blue, the color of the black sea or ultramarine. Of these, it is convenient to make shadows of smokey ice on gray-blue eyes for light brown hair.

The classic option for light brown hair is a gradient between black and some kind of delicate pigment. For example, you can pair black eyeshadow with pink or tangerine. For an evening out, this is a simple and quick solution. Makeup artists advise boldly using summer shades for gray eyes and light brown hair: yellow, pistachio tone.

For tanned fair-haired girls, gold would be an ideal evening option. But it is absolutely impossible to paint light skin with golden shadows: it looks cheap and unnecessarily defiant. From neutral light tones, give preference to coral or beige.

Giving a different shade

Gray and blue-gray eyes are often called chameleons, because one can easily highlight one tone in them, making it the brightest. The easiest way to express a little gray highlights in the look. To do this, take graphite or anthracite shades. To make it not very gloomy and dull, add silver tints and emphasize them with your favorite shadows. Little pink notes will be appropriate.

You can’t make the look completely green, but you can show a little bit of color. To do this, combine some blue and green shadows together, focusing on greens. For example, you can unusually paint a gradient from gray tea to forest. Or from mint to emerald. To get not bright, but a warmer look of gray-green eyes, use brown or pinkish impurities, especially for light brown and dark hair. Thistle-colored shades with dark fern blend well, which the usual palette will help you choose more accurately. Do not be afraid of sudden experiments with green and blue-gray.

To make the eyes more blue, use the blue color scheme. In no case do not take the tone of the shadows, which, in your opinion, dominates the color of your eyes. It is better to prefer darker ones, such as aqua blue or turquoise, to achieve fantastic blue highlights. In combination with azure, it is good to paint night shades, they fit perfectly. The starry sky advises a beautiful make-up: combine blue or purple shades with yellow or golden ones.

In contact with

Gray eye color is very common, but this does not mean that it is less beautiful and attractive than the rest.

This shade pairs beautifully with almost any eyeshadow color.

This article will focus on the secrets of makeup for gray eyes, which will emphasize their beauty.

Makeup specifics

First of all, you need to remember that the make-up should not be too bright and you need it to match the place where you are going to appear and the time of day.

Here are a few secrets that will make gray eyes unforgettable:

  • dark-skinned girls will suit cold shades of shadows, this will create a contrast with the skin and allow you to focus on the eyes;
  • For a radiant look, choose eyeshadows with a sheen rather than a matte finish.
  • you can add a bluish tint to your eyes with the help of shadows of blue flowers;
  • to give expressiveness to the look, it is better to use colors: bronze, coral, copper, peach;
  • in any situation, you can emphasize your eyes with the help of gold, copper, metallic shades.

You might think that any color can be used in gray eye makeup. But it is not so.

What to avoid with makeup

There are also those tricks that gray-eyed girls should avoid. Among them are the following:

  • too bright or too dark colors can give the eyes an unhealthy, tear-stained look;
  • you should not use shadows that are identical to the color of the eyes, from this they will lose their uniqueness;
  • no need to circle the eyes with a black outline, this can visually reduce them.

How to give your eyes a different tone by applying make-up

Gray eyes are also called "chameleons" for their ability to change shade framed by a different make-up.

They can be given a bluish color using golden, bronze tones. In this case, the outline can be outlined with a dark blue or black stroke.

Intense blue, dark green or brown shadows will give the eyes a shade of green. The contour can be taken brown or greenish.

Day makeup for gray eyes

During the day, you should not use too intense or gloomy tones and jet-black arrows in the make-up.

As an eyeliner, gray, brown, green or blue shades are suitable. The color of the shadows can be blue, gray, gold, silver or pink.

The inner corners of the eyes should be emphasized with light shadows, apply the same shade under the eyebrow, shade darker colors along the lash line. The color transition should look gradual.

Don't forget to coat your lashes well with black mascara.

Evening makeup for gray eyes

This make-up implies intense tones and dark lines. For a special occasion, you can perform a more intense make-up, but you should not roll down to vulgarity. It is necessary to observe the measure in everything.

Instructions on how to do makeup for gray eyes for an evening event:

Apply a little liquid foundation so that the shadows lie evenly. Deficiencies in the form of dark circles or closely spaced vessels should be carefully masked with concealer.

After a while, the cream will be absorbed and its excess can be carefully removed by blotting your face with a napkin, then go over your face with a brush. Then the makeup will retain its original appearance longer.

Draw the upper eyelid with shadows of a light tone. Then, using dark shadows, draw a horizontal V-shaped line on a third of the eye. Blend carefully.

Draw the lower eyelid with shadows of the same color. In the middle of the triangle, paint over with paler shadows. Apply dark silver shadows above the dark triangle. Draw the inner corners with pale shiny shadows. Outline the eye contour with a dark color.

Curl your lashes a bit and apply mascara. Then comb the eyelashes with a special brush.

Intense shades are not suitable for every girl, so they should be used carefully.

Do not choose neon colors. They are only suitable for a pop-style party.

A significant advantage of gray eyes is that their owners can afford almost any make-up. This shade can be visually made blue or green using the right color scheme.

Photo of makeup options for gray eyes

Life observations show that the gray color of the eyes (pure tone) is not so common. Much more often we see an admixture of a green or blue tint. Today we will talk about the gray-blue eye color, which belongs to the “chameleons”: it can manifest itself differently depending on the lighting, the shade in the clothes, the time of day and even the mood!

Sometimes these eyes seem bright. They can be made unusually expressive with the help of cosmetics, or you can “throw” a calm balance of gray on them. Let's see in practice what kind of makeup is suitable for blue-gray eyes.

Basic Rules

Shadows

And, of course, the first question: what color of shadows suits blue-gray eyes? After all, no matter how much you experiment with lipstick or blush, it is shadows and eyeliner that can emphasize their expressiveness.

So, now our "chameleons" will show themselves with a certain shade:

  • golden-copper, yellow-brown, light green and desaturated turquoise shadows will help to add green to gray-blue eyes;
  • you can plunge into the “blue” of these magical eyes if you use blue, with a touch of silver, paint in makeup;
  • a magical look with a light veil - these are silver and ashy shadows;
  • for a deep look, use dark shades of gray, graphite, all the way to black.




Skillfully combining shades, you can achieve an amazing effect, because it is gray-blue eyes that can change the color of the iris, depending on the surrounding colors. Pastel shades of shadows contribute to light, natural makeup.

Use pinkish and purple shades very carefully. They are able to steal the natural brightness of gray-blue eyes, but at the same time add mystery to them.

Through trial and error, you can find your favorite color scheme and even invent something original.

Eyebrow and eye pencil, mascara

They are selected based on the color of the hair: lighter shades are recommended for blondes, darker for brunettes. Gray-blue eyes suit classic black and brown mascara, and from the color palette - blue, blue, marsh.




Pomade

Naturalness is in trend today. And you will be especially interested in how to make natural makeup for gray-blue eyes to emphasize their beauty, but also not look like a porcelain doll. This is an option when you should not stand out. Suitable for study and work.

Let's start our master class:

    Take a warm base color and cover the entire eyelid with it (peach, sand, beige-gold or “strawberry and cream”).

    With mother-of-pearl shades of light tones or a highlighter (for more details - in the article), we will make a highlight in the inner corner of the eye and touch a little under the eyebrow.

    Darker shadows (dark beige closer to orange are ideal) apply to the outer edge of the eyelid and gently blend.

    If you have light eyelashes, then eyeliner will not hurt. But do not draw a black "arrow". For natural makeup, soft and discreet colors are needed: brown, olive, gray.

    And lastly, ink. No experiment needed! Take your favorite.




One of the most popular makeup options is smokey ice (smoky effect), which suits all girls and women, regardless of age and eye color. It is also incomparable for gray-blue eyes (many believe that it is for this color that it is ideal).




Prepare what you need: white shadows (matte or mother-of-pearl), two types of gray: light (you can silver) and dark. Contour pencil. Brush for blending and applying shadows.

Let's start with makeup:

  • We start with a contour pencil, with which we make a perfect line around the eye (strictly along the contour). At the outer edge of the eye, it should be thicker and take the corner up.
  • We work with the darkest shadows over the pencil, reducing their intensity closer to the inner corner of the eye.
  • We cover the moving eyelid with light shadows, gently shading the borders of the pencil and dark shadows.
  • We put white color under the eyebrow and in the inner corner. This will help brighten up the eyes.
  • It remains only to make up the eyelashes and adjust the eyebrows.

For an evening version of smokey ice, never forget about eyeliner. But in daytime makeup, you can not use it.




Try to make the popular "smoky" using bright shades of different saturation: blue, purple, etc. Looks amazing in evening make-up!




But even if you and your girlfriend both have gray-blue eyes, but different hair and skin colors, the palette for your eyes will be different.

See if your skin tone is warm or cool?

The first type is a warm skin tone. Bronze and golden shades of shadows look great. If your face is closer to swarthy, then risk adding notes of “raspberry” to this palette, but carefully.

For the second type, with a cold tone, gray, blue shadows will be good. At the same time, warm beige gamma, shades of pink and flesh look great.




For girls and women with light brown hair and fair skin, make-up options are suitable, where the eyes are emphasized with matte shades of blue, lavender, and lilac. Dark-skinned beauties will suit shades from a bronze-gold scale. It is believed that only the rich steel color of the shadows can spoil the image of a brown-haired woman with gray-blue eyes.




However, in order to find your own, win-win palette, you should not be afraid of experiments. After all, what can be “swept aside” by makeup artists will simply decorate your unique image.

Makeup is best learned by example. Let's dive into the world of gray-blue eyes to learn from the example and take something for ourselves.
