Makeup Products for Blue-Eyed Redheads

Did you know that blue eyes are relatively rare among redheads? While green eyes are the rarest eye color globally, the combination of red hair and blue eyes is also uncommon. Blue eyes stand out beautifully against fair skin and red hair, and you can enhance their vibrancy with the right makeup colors. Here are our tips for selecting the most complementary makeup shades.

Brown + Copper:

The best way to make blue eyes pop is to look across the color wheel to warm tones. Oranges, coppers, and browns will all make blue eyes look stunning. These are also excellent choices for warm-toned redheads to help keep warmth in the face. Pairing different shades of brown and copper together can help add dimension to the look while staying monochromatic. Brown eyeliner and mascara are excellent choices for any redhead.

Peach + Pink:

Shades like peach and warm pinks are also excellent for keeping the face nice and warm while complementing the cool blue of the eyes. We love adding peach and pink to the eyelids and the face in the cheeks and lips to create a cohesive look.

Silver + Gray

On the opposite side of the spectrum from the warm tones we’ve talked about, silver and gray can do wonders on blue eyes. They will help bring that icy color to the eyes and are muted enough to let your red hair shine. Silver is an excellent choice for cool-toned redheads.
