Owners of gray eyes can afford almost any shades in makeup. Since your eye color is neutral, you can easily implement any creative imagination in make-up. There are only a few nuances that you should follow to make your makeup perfect.
If you successfully choose shades for yourself, then you can use them constantly, regardless of the color of your outfit.
When choosing shadows for gray eyes , pay attention to neutral shadows of silvery hues . It is the metallic shine that will give the gray eyes a sparkle, but you should avoid matte-gray shadows. If you belong to a cold color, the dark blue shadows will be an excellent option for you. Try dark brown shades if you have a warm tone of hair and skin.
Gray eyes well set off the soft gray shadows, if they are 1-2 shades darker than the color of the iris. Gray-blue shades will also look good.
It is not advisable for you to apply in the makeup gray shades of the same shade as your eyes, or a little lighter than them. Avoid too bright colors.
Remember that if your eyes are too bright , be afraid of too bright and very dark shadows: the iris becomes almost invisible, and you get the effect of an unnatural "glass look". In order to make too light, dim eyes brighter, you can focus on eyelashes and eyebrows.
Perfectly approach the gray eyes of the shade of a saturated color for a few tones darker.
An effective result is obtained from complex make-up, when several colors are combined: thus you can give expressiveness to the eyes.
A palette for eye makeup should be selected depending on its color . If the gray eyes have a bluish podton, then you will prefer shadows of gray-blue tones, dark gray, steel and gray-beige. In this case, you should avoid bright blue, turquoise or bright green shades.
If in the iris of the eye you have noticed yellowish-orange blotches, and the skin and hair have a warm shade, shades of golden brown tones, as well as all shades of beige, will perfectly suit you.
If you have black hair , your gray eyes can be emphasized by any shade colors, except for yellow and orange hues. Very expressive will look dark blue shades.
After you have decided on the color of the shadows, you can select the color of the outline. If you want to make the look more clear and expressive, carefully draw the black lines along the edge of the inner eyelid. However, remember that too clear and fat lines can visually reduce the eyes, even in the evening make-up.
If the black contour does not suit you (you have a warm shade of skin and hair), the ideal color for the contour pencil will be brown, dark gray or blue (depending on the color of the clothes and shadows).
Be careful: when using make-up in cold gray-blue tones, use a dark blue pencil, and if you prefer a beige-brown gamma of shadows, then the outline should be dark brown.
Due to their neutrality, gray eyes, most of all, reflect the color glare in the make-up, so if desired they can be given any shade with the help of colored shadows.
In order to make your gray eyes a little darker, shade the contours of the eyelids with very light shadows.
If you want to give the gray eyes some shade (bluish, greenish, etc.), then draw a contour along the growth line of the lower eyelashes with a pencil or shadows of the color you want to give to the eyes. At the same time, you need to apply a shade on the upper eyelid, which contrasts with the desired one (for example, to give the eyes a blue palate, use orange, yellow shadows).
There is also a way to make the whites of the eyes visually brighter and whiter, and the eyes themselves - more. To do this, draw a contour along the line of growth of the lower eyelashes with a blue pencil. Inner edge of the lower eyelid, draw a white pencil. As a result, the look will be more expressive, and the eyes will visually increase .
