Makeup for gray eyes: top 5 secrets of creation

Monochrome makeup to match the eye color

Monochrome makeup remains at the peak of popularity in 2021. We suggest making it the color of the client’s eyes and using silver, steel, white-gray and smoky shades of different saturations. Choose darker shades than the girl's eye color to add brightness to them, rather than giving the effect of a gray patch on the skin.

Emphasizing shades

If a girl has gray-blue eyes, use blue and sky shades in her makeup to give them a bright note. Silver-blue, dark blue and light blue shades are great both for independent use and for mixing, for example, using the smokey eye technique.

For clients with gray-green eyes, choose appropriate shades: emerald, pastel green or marsh.

Playing in contrast

Using the color wheel, choose shades that are opposite to your gray eye color. For example, for clients with blue-gray eyes, you should pay attention to orange, peach and golden shades, which will enhance the blue color and make the eyes brighter and more attractive.

For beauties with gray-green eyes, lilac, violet and even dark eggplant shades are perfect, which will perfectly highlight the beautiful eye color.

We focus on skin and hair color

Do not forget that hair and skin color, as well as their undertone, play an important role in choosing shades for gray eye makeup. Those with a cool undertone are well suited to cool shades - silver, blue, lilac. But girls with warm undertones will be complimented by warm tones: golden, taupe, orange.

Drawing lines

Arrows are the best makeup option for gray eyes if you are at a loss as to what shade of eyeshadow to choose. A universal option would be black eyeliner; the only exception would be those with very light, translucent gray eyes. In this case, it is better to give preference to gray and brown liners.
