Eyeshadow for blondes with blue eyes?

I absolutely love eyeshadow. Putting it on is like my favorite part of my makeup routine, but every day I put it on and then I wish I hadn't because I look better with only mascara on my eyes and nothing else. Any suggestions of what colors of eyeshadow I should use to make my eyes still look very open, awake, and natural? Thanks! :)

Well, try and keep it very light!

Use a matte cream colour all over the lid up to your brows for easiest blendability, and then apply a bit of shimmery champagne to the centre of your lid to attract light to your eyes.

While you're at it, apply some one the inner corner and the brow bone too, this will highlight and wake up your eyes.

Then use a soft taupe, nothing too dark in the crease to contour your eyes without making them closed off and deep set, if you'd like you can add some to the lower lash line aswell, but try and stick to the outer half only.

Then apply a thin layer of liquid liner to the top lids, just make sure it's not thick or else it will make your eyes appear smaller. Then winging it out is optional, but I do find it helps wake up my face.

Apply mascarra on the top and bottom lashes, then a nude liner on the waterline and you're done!

I have blonde hair too! I find that peachy colors or light colors look good on a day to day basis. But if you're going in a date then is say go with a a little darker but not to much.
