Violets, Lilacs and, Pinks... Makeup for Blue Eyed Blondes
Using shades of violet, lilac and pinks
We often find ourselves reaching for the same old colors year after year. In this section of Beauty.about.com, I will be putting together mini lessons of colors that you might never have considered.
In the graphic to the right you will see a face with several numbers pointing to different areas. Below, you will find details explaining what each number represents along with the necessary instructions for placement.
**Remember that the shape of your eyes, nose and face in general are going to be different from the next person who uses these colors. This is your time to play makeup artist. Use the colors suggested and try placements that you might never have tried before. You might find a brand new technique that you will love!
1. Shadow for lid: Violet
2. Crease: Use a little of the violet (above) and smudge it into the crease. A softer lilac should be used above the crease, over the
brow bone.
3. Liner: Periwinkle blue applied according to your eye shape. Try different placements if you aren't sure.
7. Beneath Eye: A touch of smokey violet beneath lashes.
4. Mascara: Several coats of eggplant (a deep purple-black), but watch for clumping.
5. Blush: Combine pink and apricot. While it might sound strange to mix these two colors, I often find that the combination works better than either color used alone.
6. Lips: All attention is going to be on the eyes, so a soft sugary pink will be all that is needed on the lips.
Peaches, Pinks and Greys... Makeup for Blue Eyed Blondes
Using shades of gray, peach and pink

1. Shadow for lid: Smokey grey for a touch of mystery
. Crease: Deeper grey on brow bone.
3. Liner: Black applied according to your eye shape. Try different placements if you aren't sure.
7. Beneath Eye: A touch of the darker grey beneath lashes.
4. Mascara: Several coats of black, but watch for clumping.
5. Blush: Combine peach and pink until the color dissolves into a natural shade for your coloring.
6. Lips: For a dramatic look apply russet and then work a tiny amount of pink to soften.
For eyes, most pastels (i.e. lavender, pale pink, light blue, etc.) are pretty, and peaches and golds/coppers will really make your eyes pop. Greys and silvers are also really pretty for night-time.
For lips, shades of pink look really great.
