As I mentioned previously, the lovely Katerina Psathas from Adore Beauty was kind enough to write up a lengthy guest post for The Belle Lumiere. Part one of her guest blog was dedicated to the basics of eye makeup, and in part two take a look at what products are suitable for blue eyed beauties!

Katerina’s choice for Blue Eyes:
Duwop makes some fabulous palettes for specific eye colours, Duwop Eye Palette The Browns and The Golds ($49 ea). Why? These palettes contain 4 eye shadow colors, a cream liner and double ended brush for easy application. There’s also a guide on the back which labels each colours use; base colour, lighten it, darken it etc. Worth every penny.
Napoleon Perdis Surreal World Prismatic Eye Shadow Quad ($49) are another favourite with highly pigmented shadows. 4, 5, 11 and 13 are suitable depending on the intensity of colour you choose to wear. (#11 is pictured) Why? The pigment in these shadows is fantastic. To be honest, I bought the entire palette just for the dark brown colour in the bottom left, but have been surprised at how much I use the others. They work incredibly well together and are easy to mix and much with other colours.
Becca Eye Colour (Powder Demi-Matte) in Linen $44 Why? Because of the way everyone scrunches up their nose when I say “orange eye shadow” but falls in love the minute they see this one. Aside from the superior quality (as with all Becca products) the colour is just hot. Has a soft shimmer through it and is brilliant enough to wear alone, and just as hot when smoked up.
