Vogue has published a guide to eye makeup for blue eyes, featuring expert advice from makeup artists Marco Antonio (Chanel), Buster Knight, and Jillian Dempsey. The article recommends warm tones like copper, bronze, terracotta, and chocolate brown to create contrast, as well as purple shades such as dusty mauves and plums. Specific products highlighted include Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eyeshadow in Burnished Bronze ($33), Victoria Beckham Satin Kajal Eyeliner Pencil in Cinnamon ($35), Vieve Soul Shadows Palette in Gilt ($39), Lisa Eldridge Liquid Lurex Eyeshadow in Anjelica ($30), RMS Beauty Eyelights Cream Eyeshadow in Spark ($30), and Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerize in Walk Of No Shame ($36).
