Such eyes can have a huge number of shades, dark or light, going into green or blue tones.

Let's look at what are the features of the make-up for such eyes and how to choose it, taking into account the color type, hair tone and skin.

Peculiarities

The most common technique for visage gray eyes is the use of gray eyeshadow. This is the most advantageous option, allowing you to reveal all the beautiful features of a girl. In this case, you can use any options for the gray palette: light, silver, metallic, asphalt shades. They will be appropriate for both daytime and evening makeup. The main thing is to find suitable partners for this range.

• Tones such as golden and sand, colors of chocolate, peach and wood, purple and blue are perfect for the gray shade of the iris. Precious metal colors: gold, copper and bronze can make up a festive look well, they can be used alone or with the colors of cinnamon, wood or chocolate.
• Dark brown, black or dark metallic colors suitable for use as an eyeliner, they perfectly accentuate the shape of the eye, highlight and make the eyes more spectacular.
• Shades of wine and violet will soften the look, make the image more lively and playful. The light tones of these spectra are suitable for daytime make-up, while the eggplant and plum options will create a rich evening look.

To add depth and expressiveness to the make-up, experts use three colors that blend into one another. At the inner corner of the eye, the lightest tone is applied, so that the gaze is more open and fresh. On the outer corner side, the darkest makeup is used, creating volume and shaping the most attractive eye shape. A middle tone is applied to the middle of the century. They are carefully shaded so that the clear boundaries of the transitions are not visible. To create a daytime look, you can draw arrows in wine, black or natural colors along the roots of the eyelashes.

• Everyday make-up will become lighter and more attractive if the arrows are also shaded well. So they will accentuate the eyes, accentuate the eyelashes and make them longer and more luxuriant.
• In the evening look make-up in the style of "cat's eyes" or "smoky eyes" will look appropriate

Let's determine which shadows are preferable to use gray-eyed girls:

• For dark skin it is best to choose cold shadow options, so the emphasis on the eyes will be made in comparison with the skin.
• In case of light or pale skin the aristocratic property of the skin can be accentuated with the help of warm tones.
• Brown range for dark-skinned women will help emphasize the depth of the eyes and the contrast of the gray iris with dark skin.
• Blue and blue gamut of shadows will help to give the appropriate subtone of the iris.
• Fresh green and purple tones make the look brighter and more expressive in combination with cold skin.
• Metal colors are suitable for creating any type of make-up.: steel, gold, copper, silver.
• Light and airy look will help to arrange shades of white, gray and black, burgundy, greenery, chocolate, brown tones.
• Expressiveness to the face add bronze, copper, brick and coral, as well as peach and terracotta.
• In a dramatic evening the image can be used in blue, blue and purple tones, turquoise, caramel, pink and silver.

A very wide variety of options and combinations suits gray eyes. But not everything is worth using.

• Bright and dark, but at the same time related to the warm range of shades can make the eyes puffy, and the face tired and sick.
• Perfect match of eye shadow and iris color is discouraged. so the eyes are lost against their background.
• Fully summed up by radical black c The eyes will appear smaller and narrower visually.
• Matte shadows are not the best solution for gray-eyed ladies.
• Colors are too bright, especially in everyday use, will make the image ridiculous and vulgar.

It is best to choose a make-up gray eyes depending on the color type of their owner. Hair will play a huge role in the choice.

1. Blondes Cosmetics of warm colors will help to make the image soft and expressive. Chocolate tones are especially suitable for this purpose. To create depth, you can use a combination of neutral beige tones, with a pearlescent effect, delicate peach. You can design and emphasize the eyes with a black or dark brown eyeliner or pencil. The final touch will be the use of lengthening or voluminous mascara in a classic black or soft chocolate shade.

3. For dark chestnuts For hair, a good solution would be to emphasize the fresh shade of the iris with the help of appropriate tones in the makeup. Blue shadows will turn the undertones of the eyes into blue, and ashy ones will make them green.
4. For brunettes with a cold color type shades of purple will do. To soften the look, you can use a range of chocolate and other warm options. But it is better to choose shadows with mother-of-pearl. For a day-to-day look, it is not necessary to use a rich color combination in the shadows. To make a simple visage, all you need to do is line your eyes with a natural brown or black pencil and use mascara. In the case of deep-set eyes, the inner side of the lower eyelid must be painted over with a white pencil, and for convex eyes, on the contrary, black can be used.

For a long time I was going to tell you how I do daytime makeup for gray eyes, but still there was no reason. And today I had a free evening, so I decided to write a step-by-step guide for the owners of gray eyes, tell me how I choose cosmetics, and explain how I do step-by-step makeup for different occasions.

First, try to determine your color type - for example, according to the scheme or by passing the appropriate test. There are several color typing systems, I advise you to look through all the recommendations and choose the ones that are more suitable for your appearance. Then you need to choose colors in accordance with your color type. In my case, this is a cold scale, which means that even an initially warm color - for example, red - I need with a cold undertone. This is necessary in order for the appearance to be harmonious.

The next important point, which I will never tire of repeating, is Swatch. When we look at ourselves in the mirror with a certain make-up, then we subconsciously take the position in which we look as advantageous as possible - we hold our head at a special angle, use small facial expressions.

All this does not allow to objectively evaluate the color palette of the makeup. Therefore, it is best to swatch and photograph them - in natural light and under electric light. Very often it turns out that at first glance, dense shadows under electric lighting practically disappear, leaving uneven streaks.

Another simple way that I like is stargazing. Choose a few Hollywood stars or even singers who are similar to you (color type and appearance) and carefully follow their publications. This is how you can find beautiful and suitable shades of cosmetics that will look great (all because they are selected by good stylists).

And of course, do not forget about self-development. You can go to a make-up artist for a consultation, or you can act as a model for a make-up - for example, courses for make-up artists often require girls for exam papers. A couple of visits will give you tremendous knowledge of which colors and styles are right for you.

For study or work

I believe that at work or school, makeup should be as discreet as possible and at the same time very, very high quality - in order to emphasize the image of a serious young woman who pays attention to every little thing. In general, they say that in makeup you need to emphasize either the eyes or the lips - and both accents are used only in evening or carnival makeup. What is good for daytime make-up:

• light transparent textures;
• appropriate muted shades;
• lack of bright glare and sparkles;
• clean, strict lines.

It is best to focus on the main points - for example, the skin. It should be clean, well-retouched with various correctors and matte. It is best to use several types of foundation:

• a fluid and make-up base for smoothing texture and subtle shine;
• red and yellow correctors for bruises, abrasions and pimples;
• liquid concealer to even out the overall shade;
• foundation for a clean, even tone.

Also pay attention to shimmery powder and blush. The cheekbone line will appear sharper if you apply the blush with a brush rather than a sponge. And with shimmering powder, you need to emphasize all the prominent areas of the face - for example, the browbones, nose, cheekbones and chin, this will give the skin a glow.
The next thing to do very well is to paint over the eyebrows and lash line. In most cases, this can be considered complete makeup - the face looks clean, fresh and shaped.

So, how to dye your eyebrows correctly:

• comb your eyebrows well with a special brush - against hair growth and for growth;
• tint them with special eyebrow shadows, tint or dry pencil. If you use a pencil, then it is better to paint with hair;
• style your eyebrows with a special gel without shine;
• add some highlights with a highlighter closer to the bridge of the nose and above the arch of the eyebrow.

So, we do daytime makeup for gray eyes:

1. first you need to choose several shades, I most often use peach, graphite and brown shades of eyeshadow for daytime makeup;
2. first, the lightest shade is applied to the movable eyelid, in my case it is peach. I cover the entire eyelid and even go with a brush to the fixed part, and also paint over the inner corner of the eye well - this helps to make the makeup for gray eyes more harmonious;
3. then you need to bring your eyes, for this I have a regular mechanical pencil of dark gray color with a slight shine effect, a light shimmer emphasizes the look and makes it wet;
4. then a medium tone is applied to the crease of the upper eyelid and along the growth line of the eyelashes of the lower eyelid, for me it is brown. The cool chocolate eyeshadow color harmonizes well with my eye color.
5. chocolate shadows need to be shaded well so that the transition is as soft as possible;
6. the darkest - graphite shadows - I paint over the fold and the outer corner of the eye with a beveled brush, this immediately adds depth to the gaze;
7. then I lift my eyes up again and add a drop of peach and pearlescent shadows under the eyebrow;
8. then you can apply mascara, it is better to comb the cilia and lightly paint over the eyelash growth line with a pencil, and apply mascara with light vibrating movements so that it fits well and the eyelashes do not stick together.

You can do a similar makeup for gray eyes and dark hair, but instead of a peach shade, it is better to take light lilac or cold pink.

In general, the owners of dark hair, in my opinion, are lucky - they have dark eyebrows and eyelashes, which, with proper care, help to do practically without makeup, for example, my sister uses a light BB cream and eyeliner, that's all her makeup for the day.

But the daytime makeup for blondes with gray eyes should be softer. Several makeup rules for blondes:

• do not use black cosmetics except in;
• be sure to move away from the mirror and regard yourself with a defocused gaze - this way you can avoid the panda effect and too bright makeup;
• use makeup without shimmer and glitter, unless you are going to a disco party.

In general, blonde hair is a great luxury (even if this luxury is obtained artificially in a hairdressing salon), and it adorns a girl very much. However, there is a little trick here: any bright colors, any glitters and holographic stickers will be terribly forgiven.

The girl immediately ceases to look like a blonde nymph and a princess and becomes an ordinary student of a vocational school. I don't think you want such an effect, so put aside your favorite glossy lip glosses and pearlescent shadows for crazy parties, daily makeup for gray eyes and light brown hair should be matte, at least have a light corduroy or satin finish typical for expensive leather.

The eyes themselves are gray in color and light brown hair is a fairly neutral shade and go well with any colors in the visage. Makeup for gray eyes can be very diverse, because it is this color that has the ability to combine with any others and changes its main pigment to blue or green. Also, beautiful makeup for gray eyes can make your look deeper and more mysterious.

However, do not completely forget that for any color and shade, there are some restrictions when choosing cosmetics. First of all, make-up for such a neutral eye color needs to be selected taking into account the tone of your hair and skin tone. Of course, in addition to the individual characteristics of your appearance, you also need to take into account the time of day and the appropriateness of the make-up, as well as the place and event for which you are preparing.
