6 Best Eyeshadows for Blue-Green Eyed Beauties

As if explaining that your blue-green eyes aren’t just blue OR green isn’t annoying enough, beauty gurus hardly ever consider your unique shade when building their rec lists. Well, your day has come, blue-green-eyed beauties. We have six of the best eyeshadow colors for blue-green eyes that you've been missing out on.

For over 100 years, Maybelline has dominated drugstore makeup shelves with its low-cost, high-quality products. From their Sky High mascara to the liquid lipsticks that last for hours, you can’t go wrong with giving Maybelline a try.

If you’ve been blessed with boundary-breaking blue-green eyes, Maybelline’s Blushed Nudes Palette is the nude palette for you. Everyone needs a nude eyeshadow palette in their makeup bag, and this is a great mid-sized one. It’s loaded with neutral shimmery metallics like copper and bronze. And the dark brown will give you the base you need for any dramatic smoky eye.

Don’t count out the two matte pinks, which will draw out both the blue and green pigments in your eyes for a beautiful harmonic look.

Whoever said you only need one neutral palette couldn’t be more wrong. Urban Decay — an expert in the basics if you know what we mean — has launched and relaunched several eyeshadow palettes in their ‘naked’ series. The Naked Heat is the most apropos for blue-green eyes.

Packed with pinky hues on the lighter end and red-purple browns on the back half, this one marries the best of both the green and blue-eyed makeup worlds. Cover the lid in matte or shimmery pinky browns to draw out the blue, and ring your crease or line your eyes with the darker red-purple browns to draw out the green.

The first single shadow to pop up on our list is Nars Persia. A true orange-red matte eyeshadow, Persia is the quintessential shade for a blue-green-eyed beauty.

If you consider color theory and take a gander at the color wheel, you’ll find the exact opposite color from blue-green is red-orange. Finding a really balanced red-orange shadow can be super difficult, but Nars has you covered.

Swipe and buff out this shadow all over the lid for a truly eye-popping look. Or pack it on for a mesmerizing nighttime eye.

Not every eye shade is exactly alike. In the brown category alone, you have a variety of caramels, cocoas, whiskeys, and more. The same can even be said for such a unique shade as blue-green.

If you have blue-green eyes that lean more green than blue, you should add the Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina Pro Pigment Palette to your beauty bag. Full of shimmer and matte eyeshadows, this palette’s color story will give you so much to work with.

This pro palette is a must-have, from the lavender and plum colors that’ll make the green pigments in your eye sparkle to the rosy base and coppery shimmers that’ll enhance the blue in your eyes.

While “no-makeup-makeup” has been all the rage for a few years, some people never stepped out of 2016 with their eye looks — and we love them for it. Embrace bold beauty with this highly pigmented palette from Makeup Revolution.

The Forever Flawless Bird of Paradise palette is a mix of shimmers, metallics, and mattes. But what draws us to it is its extremely bright colors. Among them are four different red-orange shades that you can play with to match your cool or warm-toned skin.

On top of it, there’s a darling blue-green shade called “Take Flight” for when you want everyone to stand up and take notice.

Hourglass is a sleeper Y2K makeup brand that’s making a big comeback. One of their standout products is their Voyeur Eyeshadow Sticks. These shimmery shadow sticks work great on the go and are perfect for slipping into the teeniest clutch before heading out.

Our top shade pick for blue-green-eyed beauties is Moon. It’s an ideal highlight shade for your brow bone, the inner corner of your eye, or your entire lid. Pure white highlights tend to have an unnatural look. So, when you want just a light kiss of makeup, this is the perfect product for you.

In just a few years, e.l.f. has taken the makeup world by storm. An emphatically low-cost and cruelty-free brand, e.l.f. never skimps on quality. And for their blue-green-eyed fans, they’ve got a liquid eyeshadow that’ll send your eyes into the stratosphere.

E.l.f’s Liquid Metallic Eyeshadow in the shade Meteor is a bronze with just a hint of red underneath. While there’s nothing subtle about a metallic eyeshadow, the simmering warm red underneath will make your blue-green eyes look out of this world.

Sure, having blue or green eyes is special in its own right. But if you’ve been blessed with blue-green eyes, you’ve got the best of both worlds. Enjoy all of the pinks, olives, lavenders, red-oranges, browns, and metallics to your heart’s content. And the best place to start is by adding one of these products to your next beauty haul shopping cart.
