I don't know how to do my makeup very well so I just normally only wear mascara. What would be good colors for eyeshadow ?and I wanna try buying a lipstick. I was thinking maybe a light pink?

It depends on your hair colour too. Just go into a store and try out the testers and see what looks good, or get matched at a counter.

golds make blue eyes stand out. but you can really wear any color eyeshadow you want. :)

I'm just self conscious about how it looks because I bought a pink grey and black Revlon eyeshadow palette and I thought the way I did it looked really pretty but my friend was like " you should stick to lighter colors, that looks weird" so I just haven't worn any since then.. Lol

I've noticed that neutral browns and things like that make blue eyes look intense and pretty, also a light pink lip would suit you, so would peach. Just be careful with how you apply the eye makeup, more light colors than dark.

to make blue eyes stand out try golds,coppers,and brown shades.I have blue eyes too n my fave shaddows to enhance my eyes are honey lust and gleam over the lid(both from mac) and then in the crease I use tease from urban decay,brown down from mac is also a lovly colour,I usually use it as a liner on my top lids.hope it helps!

I'm also very fair skinned, blue eyed, and dark haired. I live off of my naked palette. Don't be afraid to go dark for a fiercer look, but for everyday I would suggest neutral browns and gold tones. Also black eyeliner and mascara really makes blue eyes pop

I'm a beginner also. And found the maybelline bb cream is great on the face cuz you don't need much coverage. Watch youtube videos on how to apply. And maybe a coral lipstick. Also you can go to a department store and they can tell u the shades u need so u not wasting your money on shades that doesn't fit u and they have free samples.

browns would look nice, gold theres nothing wrong with darker colors considering you hace open eyes but you could do a nude or pink gold any light color and depending on that color the ends on ur lids do a brown or black smudge them light on the outter part of your eye. you can also pull off a nice top liner

I have blue eyes and I seem to think silvers and metallics look great! Same with golds an yellows. Brown smokey eyes are a good one to try too!

oh and eyeliner for green eyes are better gray.. but my eyes have a blue ring around the so I now that its good with blue too. also a nice shade of brown eyeliner would be awesome... black doesn't do us fair skinned any good sometimes
