Women seeking flattering makeup for blue eyes and blonde hair have plenty of options. Although blondes can still wear a variety of smoky eye looks, before you decide to gravitate to the dark side of the makeup color wheel, it makes sense to keep your look icy and cool to better compliment your fair features. The following makeup palettes will see you through a variety of looks ranging from daytime to party time!
Selecting Makeup for Blue Eyes and Blonde Hair

Rather than make the mistake of standing out, women shopping for makeup for blue eyes and blonde hair should always emphasize their beautiful features while practicing the less is more rule. That doesn't mean blondes can't have fun playing with a variety of bright or bold eye shadows, or red lips for that matter. But, all in all, to find the most flattering look for this type of coloring, staying cool and shimmery is the way to go!

Daytime Looks

Whether it be the office or the school campus, a daytime eye makeup look is always recommended to avoid looking garish midday when lights are bright and the environment professional. Blondes can work a professional palette by choosing neutral hues such as taupe, ivory, and light brown eye shadows.

Rather than go overboard with a liquid eyeliner, keep your canvas clean with a smudge of brown pencil eyeliner on your upper and lower lashes. Depending on your underlying skin coloring, an apricot or rosy blush will flatter most blondes. Lipstick should stay neutral to compliment this sexy and fresh faced look. Shop for a rosewood or nude lipstick and line lips, if desired, in a cinnamon or a spice colored liner. Always keep eyelashes curled to draw attention to your beautiful blue eyes.
Evening Out

When the lights go dim, blondes can start to have some fun with their makeup looks. Dress up your evening look with a fresh dose of metallic sheen to reflect the beauty of your icy eyes. Silver, violet and white shadows look beautiful on blondes, and especially striking when paired with a black liquid eyeliner, cat eye style! Shop for a liquid or cream shadow formulas for sheer, yet reflective coverage. With a few thick coats of black mascara and a sweep of rosy blush, any blonde with blue eyes will look and feel like a bombshell! To keep this look sultry, pair it down with a neutral lipstick and a lip liner in a spicy nude or pink hue.
Party Time

If you're ready to get your party face on, it's time to get playful! Whether it's a birthday party, a summer shin-dig or a girls day out shopping, playful makeup is just plain fun. Blondes can wear a variety of bold and bright eye shadows that are anything but boring. When experimenting with bold eye shadows, consider bright blue, lime green and pearly pink shades. Bright eye shadows are a great way to draw attention to your blue eyes and require little other makeup to make a major impact. Another lesser known but worthy, makeup trend that works beautifully on blondes is white eyeliner. When lined on the upper lid and paired with sheer white cream eye shadow, black mascara, blondes can capture that white eyed retro look that made Twiggy famous! For bold lipstick choices, go straight for the bubblegum pinks and glossy rose tones.
What to Avoid

No matter how gorgeous your features may be, there is always a look or a palette to avoid if you want to look your absolute best.

Blondes should stay away from earthy colors such as forest green, mossy browns and mushroom taupe. Although these neutrals hardly seem intimidating, their underlying tones will all but flatter a cool complexion. In addition to ashen neutrals, blondes should also shy away from deep jewel tones such as eggplant, peacock blues and deep reds.
