Warm browns and deep espresso shades pair perfectly with blue eyes. You can use a contrasting palette of warm tones to create a smoky eye like this one here, or you can also use them alone to warm up the lid without any extra work. To recreate this look, blend the deeper brown tones into the crease for a dramatic effect, and use the softer, warmer tones on the lid for contrast.

Earthy tones like soft taupes and browns can enhance blue eyes, and when paired with a rich black eyeliner, they add the right amount of drama to the look without being overpowering. When experimenting with soft brown tones, you can mix and match a few different colors to create a nice variation. Start by applying the lightest color on the eyelid, and then move on to some deeper tones for the crease. Line the top and bottom lash line with a long-lasting black eyeliner to finish.
