They say eyes are the mirror of 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 blue-gray eyes and what to make them happy owners to emphasize their unique beauty.
Eye color and character
Some scientists believe that the shade of the cornea with which a person is born affects his character. As far as they are right, only those of their colleagues who are firmly convinced that the features of other parts of the body (the shape of the ears, nose and lips, the location of moles, lines in the palm of your hand, hair color, etc.) can probably tell.
In any case, owners of gray-blue eyes will be interested to know what character they should have, according to those who believe that the shade of the iris is able to determine fate.
Since this color is the result of a mixture of two colors (steel and azure), it is believed that people with such eyes are very contradictory. These are natures who are constantly searching for themselves and their place in life - their stability and monotony depress them.
Those whom nature has rewarded with blue-gray eyes quite often turn out to be loyal friends and business partners. They are always ready to listen and try to understand.
At the same time, such individuals can experience bouts of anger, and they are capable of succumbing to destructive emotions, because of which they often destroy themselves.
Features of blue-gray eyes
The photo will not let you lie - such eyes attract the eye. And even if we move away from unverified assumptions, it can be argued that the iris color in question is still special among all others.
The fact that he is the only one is a mixture of two shades. This combination is called a chameleon. With the right choice of colors in makeup, clothes and accessories, it allows you to change the color of the eyes, creating the illusion that they are blue, then gray, and sometimes even with a slight emerald note.
The choice of color lenses
Another advantage of gray-blue eyes is their versatility in terms of the selection of colored contact lenses.
Those who happened to encounter 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.
An example is the famous Hollywood actress Kate Beckinsale. By nature, her eyes are amazing pistachio color. However, when shooting in the vampire saga "Another World", the beauty had to wear blue contact lenses, which made her seem to have a plastic cornea.
A similar effect was also observed in Zhang Ziyi, who played the blue-eyed Chio in Memoirs of a Geisha, although the natural color of her cornea is brown.
In this case, the owners of gray-blue eyes is much easier. Almost any shade of lenses will suit them: blue, gray, green and even brown (if the skin color is not too pale).
What glasses are better to wear
If, when choosing tinted lenses, beauties with gray-blue eyes need only to figure out which shade they want to emphasize, then the color of the eyeglass frame is much more complicated.
Here the color wheel of Johannes Itten will come 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 the eyeglass frames, you should pay special attention to such shades. After all, being opposite, they especially emphasize the merits of gray-blue eyes.
However, deciding to opt for the frames of the orange spectrum, do not forget to pay attention to the color of the skin and hair. So, such a shade will certainly be to the face. But for girls with aristocratic pallor it is better not to risk it and try on glasses either with a thin metal frame or painted in flesh-colored (caramel, cream, sand, pink-beige, powdery).
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 combines well with the shape of the face.
What hair color will go for people with this eye color
Nothing complements the image like a hairstyle, and especially its shade. That is why choosing what color to dye their hair, reasonable people always pay attention to the color of the cornea.
Fortunately, those 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, an unwritten rule applies for women with such an appearance: the paler the shade of their eyes, the brighter the hair should be. Although colored contact lenses or smart makeup can help combine even the darkest hair.
A vivid proof of the limitlessness of the options can be considered a young and promising British model and actress Cara Delevingne with strict but beautiful gray-blue eyes.
Over the years of work in the field of fashion, the girl had to try most of the possible hair colors and prove that they all fit perfectly 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 into a brown-haired woman if you have pale skin. That is why in those photo shoots for which Delevingne was painted in dark color, her skin, as a rule, was darkened with the help of tanning or Photoshop.
Also, the model did not really “make friends” with a bright red color, although in one of the clips she starred in that 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 the life of Kara, when she shaved baldly and painted her head with silver paint.
Of course, all owners of gray-blue eyes should not be compared to Delevingne in everything, but her example is very revealing. So for girls, and men with such eyes, it is important to remember that almost any shade of hair can go to this type of eyes, which means that you should not be afraid to experiment, because there are no limits to perfection.
Hair and bang length
When choosing a hairstyle shape, owners of gray-blue eyes should remember that it matches the age and shape of the face.
In this case, the following basic rules apply:
- Full-face girls should not wear long and straight hair. If without them in any way - then it is absolutely necessary 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 difficult for women with any color of eyes. Here everything rests on whether it goes to a person or not. And do not be waged on anyone's persuasion. Easier to try. And if you’re scared, you can buy an overhead bang in 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-eyed, its presence emphasizes the eyes and focuses on them.
- One of the main tips for not-so-young owners of gray-blue eyes: no matter what color they choose, it is advisable not to overdo it with unnatural variegated shades and too bold asymmetrical hairstyles. Although you can experiment. Perhaps someone will be inspired by the example of Meryl Streep in the film "The Devil Wears Prada." Who forgot - the actress's hair was asymmetrically short cut, and in addition to them a spectacular combination of ash color with a slight darkening at the ends was chosen. Who watched the film - remembers that this hairstyle went perfectly to the blue eyes of the actress and perfectly combined with all her outfits. And although copying the actress at 100% is not worth it (you can choose a different shade of hair or hairstyle length), a similar example would be useful to note to 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, beige, mint, pale pink, pale blue, and silver will suit perfectly pale-faced and fair-haired. 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, salad, 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 in nature redheads are rarely born with gray-blue eyes, thanks to the achievements of the chemical industry, such combinations are now not uncommon. Owners of such an appearance should be wary of blurry tones in clothes and too bright shades and their combinations, otherwise it might turn out "something for Latin America."
It will be interesting to experiment with a green gamma, pale purple, light blue or pale gray. But the black and pure white colors, as well as shades of pink, should be feared.
The tandem of gray-blue eyes and dark hair is considered the most successful combination in terms of clothing choice. With such an appearance, you can afford to wear not only pastel and faded tones, but also rich, and even black.
Lipstick selection
The next point that girls with gray-blue eyes should consider is the color of 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."
An exception to this rule are cases when the eyes are deliberately emphasized with bright shadows or eyeliner, and also when the lips really need to be highlighted.
Makeup for gray-blue eyes to emphasize their blue
Probably one of the most important ways to focus on eyes of such an unusual color is to choose the right makeup. However, before proceeding with this, it is important to determine what shade of the cornea it can give.
- So, if it is necessary that the makeup of gray-blue eyes emphasized from the blue, it is worth using shades of ice-blue and silver-blue shades.
- If you use shades or eyeliner of emerald, turquoise and watery-blue colors - the cornea will appear aquamarine.
- The combination of violet with azure can also help emphasize the blueness, especially if you make makeup in the form of a smooth gradient.
- An important tool for achieving the illusion of blue eyes is eyeliner. It will be very effective if instead of the classic black arrows draw rich blue.
Eye make-up accentuating their steel color
If it is necessary to give the eyes the color of steel, the shadows of silver shades in combination with thin black arrows will best serve for this purpose.
By the way, one of the most common tricks for this is the smoky ice that has already become a classic in such color combinations as silver gray, gray and even black.
How to create an emerald eye effect
But if you use shades of copper, sand or emerald shades for smoky ice, the color of the cornea will appear slightly greenish.
Also contributing to the creation of the illusion of a similar tone will be the use of shades of yellow and golden hues. However, you should be careful, because such a color scheme will harmoniously look far from all eyes.
In any case, no matter what type of makeup you choose, you should always remember your own uniqueness and uniqueness. And therefore, do not blindly copy other people's ideas - it is better to look for ways to emphasize the beauty of your own eyes.
