I’d probably do a nude lip if I’m doing a really bright eye. I recently went through all my lipsticks and swatched them all (for a personal file) and now I’ve discovered that some of my favorites are already discontinued! 🙁 I think Mac Mellow Mood will go nicely with blue eyeshadow.

I’d pair a blue-based pink (midtone) with blue eyeshadow, along with a cool-toned blush. I wear blue, even though I have gray-blue eyes, by pairing it with other shadows (like Vex).

Since the blues are really strong, I’d probably go for a quite neutral lip, MAC’s Plink! probably. When I am really, really daring, I think I would go for a corally pink as a contrast to the eyes. Speed Dial would be my go-to lippie.

I’d put a brown into the crease to tone it down a bit and make it more wearable for me. And, I would wear a nude lip. Blues are hard for me to wear and I wouldn’t want to feel over the top with it.

I pair it with brown eyeliner, as I think brown and blue have this great vibe when juxtaposed. I also would wear brown mascara, and a taupe blush; call me crazy, but blue and brown just works for me.

I’d choose a nude lip color. The blue eyeshadow is pretty intense, so you have to keep it neutral on the lips. This way my eyes will pop out even more..

BTW I love love love the atlantic blue and wrinkle eyeshadows, I hope you’ll pick me as a winner!

love,

I usually lightly apply MAC honey love lipstick and then apply MAC baby sparks dazzleglass over it. I like the way the blue shadow makes the glitter on my lips pop.

A lip color that I would pair with blue eyeshadows is Lovelorn l/s since pinks makes the perfect statement with blue eyeshadows and I have not yet done a complete blue eyeshadow look since I’m always pairing blues with teals.

I’d pair it with the funky Dare to wear lipglass, Gimme that!
I don’t have it (altho I want to), but I know it would look so cool on me, along with everything blue because it has some blue to it! Unique aswell!

I would pair light sky blue eyeshadow with a frosty light pink lip, like MAC Pet Me Please, royal blue with a bright red or dark red lip, like MAC Russian Red or Kittenish, and darker/navy blue with a nude lip like Revlon Soft Nude 😀

Laura Avatar

I like to warm up blue eyeshadow a bit with a pale coral-ish colour – something like Colour Me Coral, Sandy B, or Lollipop Loving. I’d probably add a dab of Nymphette or Cha Cha lipglass to tone down the frostiness.

Isabelle Avatar

Oh! and I would LOVE if I won those! I’m out of money for the moment and I really REALLY wanted Atlantic Blue. I follow you on Twitter and check your website twice a day!

It would mean so much to me!
Thank you

Lina Avatar

personally, i would you with winkle all over the lid, atlantic blue blended in outer crease, goldmine blended into middle of the lid. and i would line my lower lash line with the gold superslick eyeliner 🙂

Madelynn Avatar

Whoa! Thanks for the opportunity Christine!
I love pairing bright golds in the inner half of the lid, with blue on the outer corner and a deeper blue in the crease. :]

Christina Avatar

I’d probably put them together with Aqua, and Mylar as a highlight color…or maybe do something with Atlantic Blue and Bitter together with a navy eyeliner. I would play with them a lot to see what I like best…(my Melon pigment is also begging to be paired with one of those colors!!!

Call me old-fashioned or anything, but there’s nothing like Blue and Black or Blue and Gold. I have brown eyes so Blue and Gold make my eyes stand out =)
If I used and Blue/Black combination then I’d go for either a pink nude or light pink lipstick, and light pink blush. Otherwise, with the Blue/Gold combination I’d wear a peachy nude or white (I mean no color) lipgloss and a good highlighter.

Tiffanie Avatar

i’ll definitely pair blue eyeshadow with a nude lip. My favorite is blankety from Mac, it’s not too nude but more of a nudey pinkish lipstick….

Jenn Avatar

For day, M.A.C.’s Viva Glam IV lipstick (a lovely pinky-nude that doesn’t make the eye/lip combo look like cotton candy). For night, MUFE’s Rouge Artist Intense in 13 (the plummy-pink color will pick up and reflect the blue tones of the shadows without looking too circus-y).

Linda Avatar

It depends on the look, but I just purchased benefit la la land and I think it would be gorgeous with blues (or just about anything! It’s almost a nude on me)

Lo Avatar

I would pair a peachy beige neutral lip, like MAC Marquise ‘D or Patisserie Lipsticks, or Frankly Fresh lipglass, for cheeks I’d use Shell Pearl beauty powder, or The perfect Cheek blush.
