They say the eyes are the window to the soul. Perhaps that is why modern girls spend so much time every year choosing the right makeup. Let's look at what colors are suitable for gray-blue eyes and what their happy owners should do to emphasize their unique beauty.
Eye color and personality
Some scientists believe that the shade of the cornea with which a person is born affects his character. How right they are, probably, can only be said by those of their colleagues who are firmly convinced that the character is influenced by the characteristics of other parts of the body (the shape of the ears, nose and lips, the location of moles, lines on the palm, hair color, etc.).
In any case, the owners of gray-blue eyes will be interested to know what kind of character they should have, according to those who believe that the shade of the iris can determine fate.
Since this coloration is the result of mixing two colors (steel and azure), people with such eyes are considered to be very controversial. These are the natures inconstant search for themselves and their place in life - stability and monotony oppress them.
Those whom nature has awarded with gray-blue eyes quite often turn out to be devoted friends and business partners. They are always willing to listen and try to understand.
However, such individuals may experience fits of anger, and they are able to succumb to destructive emotions, because of which they often destroy themselves.
Features of gray-blue eyes
The photo will not let you lie - such eyes attract the eye. And even aside from unverified assumptions, it can be argued that the color of the iris in question is still special among all others.
The fact is that he is the only one who is a mixture of two shades. This combination is called a chameleon. With proper selection of colors in makeup, clothing and accessories, it allows you to change the color of the eyes, creating the illusion that they are either blue or gray, and sometimes even with a touch of emerald.
Choice of colored lenses
Another advantage of gray-blue eyes is their versatility in terms of fitting colored contact lenses.
Those who have encountered this accessory in practice often notice that if their color is radically different from the native shade of the cornea, it may not look very natural, especially close up.
An example is the famous Hollywood actress Kate Beckinsale. By nature, she has amazing eyespistachio color. However, when filming the vampire saga "Underworld", the beauty had to wear blue contact lenses, which made it look like she had a plastic cornea.
A similar effect was seen in Zhang Ziyi, who played the blue-eyed Chiyo in Memoirs of a Geisha, although her natural cornea color is brown.
In this case, the owners of gray-blue eyes are much easier. Almost any shade of lenses will suit them: blue, gray, green and even brown (if the skin color is not too pale).
Which glasses to wear
If, when choosing tinted lenses, beauties with gray-blue eyes only need to figure out which shade they want to emphasize, then with the color of the spectacle frame, everything is much more complicated.
The color wheel by Johannes Itten comes to the rescue, which is used by makeup artists and stylists to select harmonious color combinations.
In it, cold shades are opposite the copper-orange spectrum. And this means that when choosing the color of eyeglass frames, you should pay special attention to such shades. After all, being opposite, they especially emphasize the dignity of gray-blue eyes.
However, when deciding to opt for frames of the orange spectrum, do not forget to pay attention to the color of the skin and hair. So, swarthy such a shade will certainly be to the face. But for girls with aristocratic pallor, it’s better not to risk it and try on glasses either with a thin metal frame or with flesh-colored ones (caramel, cream, sand, pink-beige,powder).
Also, owners of chameleon eyes should refrain from saturated blue-green colors, because against their background, the native eye color may seem faded.
In addition to the above, a classic black frame will look good with such eyes, while it is important that its design is well combined with the shape of the face.
What hair color will suit people with this eye color
Nothing complements the image like a hairstyle, and especially its shade. That is why when choosing what color to dye their hair, reasonable people always pay attention to the color of the cornea.
Fortunately, those who were born with gray-blue eyes have no problems with choosing a tone for coloring. Whatever hair color they choose - any will be in harmony.
At the same time, there is an unspoken rule for women with this appearance: the paler the shade of their eyes, the lighter their hair should be. Although colored contact lenses or smart makeup can help match even the darkest hair.
The young and promising British model and actress Cara Delevingne with strict but beautiful gray-blue eyes can be considered a vivid proof of the limitlessness of options.
Over the years of working in the fashion industry, the girl had to try most possible hair colors and prove that they all go well with such eyes.
At the same time, on the example of Kara, you can see that with this eye color you should not rush to turn intobrown hair if you have pale skin. That is why in those photo shoots for which Delevingne was painted in a dark color, her skin, as a rule, was darkened using self-tanner or photoshop.
Also, the model did not really "make friends" with a bright red color, although she starred in one of the clips in this image. However, in real life, most often she prefers a palette from steel blond to light chocolate.
By the way, there was a period in Kara's life when she shaved her head and painted her head silver.
Of course, all owners of gray-blue eyes should not be like Delevingne in everything, but her example is very indicative. So for girls, and for men with such eyes, it is important to remember that almost any shade of hair can go with this type of eyes, which means you should not be afraid to experiment, because there are no limits to perfection.
Hair length and bangs
When choosing a hairstyle, owners of gray-blue eyes should remember to match her age and face shape.
In this case, the following basic rules apply:
- Girls with a full face should not wear long and straight hair. If there is no way without them, then it is imperative to create a basal volume and light waves closer to the tips. Fortunately, they are almost always in fashion.
- The question of bangs is always a tricky one for women of any eye color. It all depends on whether it suits a person or not. And don't be fooled by anyone. It's easier to try. And if you're scared, you can buy false bangsin any of the specialized stores to match your hair and check whether it suits you or not. By the way, in the case of gray-blue eyes, its presence emphasizes the eyes and focuses attention on them.
- One of the main tips for not so young owners of gray-blue eyes: whatever color they choose, it is advisable not to overdo it with unnatural colorful shades and too bold asymmetrical hairstyles. Although you can experiment. Perhaps someone will be inspired by the example of Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada. Who forgot - the actress's hair was asymmetrically cut short, and in addition to them, a spectacular combination of ashy color with a slight darkening at the tips was selected. Who watched the movie - remembers that this hairstyle went perfectly to the blue eyes of the actress and perfectly combined with all her outfits. And although you should not copy the actress 100% (you can choose a different shade of hair or hair length), such an example would be useful to note for all owners of gray-blue eyes, no matter what choice they make.
Colors in clothes
When choosing which color suits gray-blue eyes, it is worth considering the skin tone and shade of the hair of their owner.
So, pale-skinned and fair-haired will be perfect beige, mint, pale pink, pale blue, and silver. But with saturated red and blue colors, gray-blue-eyed is better to experiment with caution. Because against their background, such a color of the cornea may look faded.
But neon shades(lemon, lettuce, purple, hot pink or orange) for such an appearance can become a real find and give the image a touch of freshness. However, do not forget that if you are "a little over 30", such experiments should be carried out carefully and take into account the appearance and condition of the figure.
Although it is rare for redheads to be born with gray-blue eyes in nature, thanks to advances in the chemical industry, such combinations are no longer uncommon. Owners of such an appearance should beware of blurry tones in clothes and too bright shades and their combinations, otherwise it may turn out to be "something for Latin America".
It will be interesting to experiment with green scale, pale lilac, light blue or pale gray. But black and pure white, as well as shades of pink, are to be feared.
The most successful combination in terms of choosing clothes is the tandem of blue-gray eyes and dark hair. With such an appearance, you can afford to wear not only pastel and faded colors, but also rich, and even black.
Lipstick selection
The next point to consider for girls with gray-blue eyes is the color of the lipstick.
In this case, the same principle remains relevant: the lighter the color of the eyes, the more natural the shade of lipstick should be. Otherwise, the eyes can "get lost".
The exception to this rule is when the eyes are deliberately underlinedbright shadows or eyeliner, and when the lips really need to be highlighted.
Makeup for gray-blue eyes to emphasize their blueness
Probably one of the most important ways to focus on the eyes of such an unusual color is to choose a competent makeup. However, before proceeding with this, it is important to decide what shade of the cornea it can give.
- So, if you need to make blue-gray eyes emphasize blue, you should use shades of ice blue and silver blue.
- Using eye shadow or eyeliner in emerald, turquoise and watery blue will make the cornea appear aquamarine.
- The combination of purple and azure can help to emphasize blueness, especially if you make makeup in the form of a smooth gradient.
- An important tool to achieve the illusion of blue eyes is eyeliner. It will be very effective if, instead of the classic black arrows, draw rich blue ones.
Eye makeup that accentuates their steel color
If it is necessary to give the eyes the color of steel, then the best thing for this purpose will be shades of silver shades in combination with thin black arrows.
By the way, one of the most common tricks for this is also the classic smokey ice in color combinations such as silver gray, gray and even black.
How to create the effect of emerald eyes
But if for smokey iceuse shades of copper, sand or emerald shades, the color of the cornea will appear slightly greenish.
Also help create the illusion of a similar tone will be the use of shadows of yellow and golden hues. However, you should be careful, because such a color scheme will not look harmoniously on everyone's eyes.
In any case, no matter what type of makeup is chosen, you should always remember your own uniqueness and uniqueness. And therefore, do not try to blindly copy other people's ideas - it is better to independently look for ways to emphasize the beauty of your own eyes.
