Gray eye color is quite common in nature and, at the same time, remains very attractive. Purely gray eye color, in itself, is rare. More often, one can meet, its combination with blue, green, brown. This eye color, in fact, is a chameleon. The color of the iris can vary depending on the color of the shadows, clothes, weather, season and even the mood of its owner. So the question of how to make make-up for gray eyes will not give too complex a response.
Possessors of common gray eyes can be considered that they are lucky, because this color opens up a large space for imagination in the selection of colors. Gray-eyed can come up with almost any make-up and a combination of shades. Therefore, when choosing the color range of makeup, you can focus not on the eyes, but on the color of the hair, clothes and the purpose of the event itself. However, there are some nuances in this universality.
The effect is metallic.
It is best to use mother-of-pearl shades, rather than matte to give the radiance and expressiveness of this eye color. The best shade is obtained by silvery shadows of neutral shades with the metallic effect. If your skin and hair have a warm tint, then saturated dark blue or dark brown colors will give a clear expressive look. An interesting effect is observed with complex make-up, with a combination of several shades. In this case, the very gray color is emphasized, in its neutral form.
If your eyes have a very light gray hue, they should not use too dark shadows, since the natural color of the iris will be lost and the effect of a very sharp, not even human-looking look will be created. And the shadows of saturated shades, darker than their natural ones in just a few tones, is the right decision to give expressiveness.
We add shades.
The peculiarities of the makeup of gray-eyed people depends on the effect you would like to have. If you want your natural eye color to make a little darker, then you should use shades of shadows much lighter than your eyes. And vice versa: if you want to make your eyes lighter, then use shades for some shades darker than your natural color.
If you want to add to your eyes a shade of blue, purple, green and other colors, make a make-up according to the following scheme. It is necessary to put on the area of the upper eyelid shades of colors that contrast with the desired effect. For example: if you wanted to give your eyes a shade of blueness, the eyelid should be painted with orange or yellow shades. On the line of growth of the lower eyelashes and, if desired, apply a shadow to the inner eyelid or draw a pencil of the color you would like to get the shade.

Let's talk about the technique of applying this make-up for gray eyes. Like any make-up, everything starts with the preparation of the face: its cleansing with a tonic, applying cream on the face (moisturizing or nourishing depending on the season). Then, it is necessary to correct the area around the eyes, hide flaws and powder this area in order to make the makeup better and last longer. The next, one of the main stages, is the selection of shade shades. Here you need to take into account the color of the hair. As already mentioned, the color scheme here is quite wide.
Now, let's start the technique of applying gray eyes makeup. Begin the make-up with a darker shade of the color scheme that you have chosen. These shadows should be applied to the upper eyelid, starting with the area of growth of the eyelashes. The main point of this technique is feathering. The higher we approach the eyebrows, the lighter shade of shadows should be, is the main rule of the technique of performing Smoky Eyes. Important for the expressiveness of gray eyes is podvodka. She must be present in the make-up, have a dark color, combined with the color of the shadows.
Padding can serve as a pencil, and a creamy texture (liquid liner), most importantly, it must be thoroughly shaded. Apply the liner along the line of eyelash growth, this will create the impression of a dense eyelash and give the eyes expressiveness. Owners of small eyes should not bring the inner part of the century, and those who have large eyes, can bring the interior, giving it an extra depth and sexuality look.
The next main element of Smoky Eyes makeup is mascara. Its purpose is to complete the whole image created by make-up. It is worth remembering that mascara is an individual subject, since, closest to the eyes. Mascara should suit you and not cause allergic reactions, redness and tearing of the eyes. Also, the choice of mascara depends on your type of eyelash: do they require lengthening, adding splendor by volume, thickening or twisting. No matter what type of mascara you choose, for everyone, the rule of application is one. First, stain eyelashes with one layer of carcass, wait until it dries, then the second layer. It happens that you need a third layer, but remember: the excess of mascara on the eyelashes will ruin your entire makeup, make it careless and artificial, like a doll.

Thus, eyelids do not become heavier with excess ink, and eyelashes acquire a natural fluffiness.
