We introduced our Eye Color Series with the color wheel + Jessica Pare’s blue eyes from the MET Gala a few weeks ago, but many of you emailed us asking for more than just one shadow option. So to complete our series, here’s your cheat sheet for shades that best complement your baby blues.

COPPER CRAZE: Copper is a blue-eyed girl’s bestie for life.  We love Glominerals Glo-eye Trio in Copper Sheen.

SEXY SMUDGE: To draw all the attention to your eye color, don’t let a defined line become a distraction… smudge it up for extra moodiness! Try Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Liner and really work it into your lash lines in between your lashes.

CHAMPAGNE COLOR WASH: Anything in the peach/apricot/champagne-gold family really makes this eye color pop. Yves Saint Laurent Fard Lumiere Aquaresistant Cream Shadow in #5 is divine.

CLASSIC WING: A strong liquid line with a little flick in the corner frames your eyes like a 1940’s siren. Revlon ColorStay Liquid Liner in Black Brown is brilliant with blue eyes.

BRONZED SUNSET: Browns really bring blues eyes to life. But choosing a metallic brown (bronze) will amp them up even more. We love Lucy B Eye Silk Shadow in Bronze.

WINGED SHADOW: Bring on the drama, ladies! Just be sure to include your inner water line and pair it with a minimal nude lip for balance. Try Too Faced Exotic Intense Shadow in Night.
