Hey, So I am not all that great at picking the right color of eyeshadow for my eye's color. I have light-medium greyish blue eyes. I also have light blonde hair, and fair skin, so I have a cool tone (dont know if this matters, but it can't hurt to have more information.) And  I love doing smokey eyes so what colors would I look best in? Thanks!

    Chelsea,

        brown brings out blue eyes like no other. but with fair skin pick a lighter/medium brown somthing that goes on light and has a bit of shimmer. brown is mainly for warm skin tones, but I am a cool tone too and I make it work. my main brown is from bath and body works it's a medium brown with silver sparkles in it,it rocks!

I always get alot of compliments with grey eye shadows....Try a dark grey on the outter part of the lid and a lighter grey towards the inside.

Taupe, light gray, and pink would also look great with your blue eyes and
fair skin. If you want an edgy look for a party, try lilac.

Lavender (something like MAC's beautiful iris) brings out the grey beautifully, as does a dark, smokey green (MAC humid works well). I also use blue in my smokey eyes (MAC deep truth) to bring out the blue. I have been told that orange can really make blue eyes pop, too, if you fancy something brighter. :)

Ditto on the browns and greys, I also use a very light dusting of blush on my eyelids.  It's a great daytime look.

Best Eyeshadow for blue eyes is Gold. It brings them out amazingly, or a goldish red, try it with an eyeliner too. You'll see how amazing it looks.
LOL
