What do we think of grey eyeshadow on blue eyes?

I usually wear either browny colours or plummy purples but I'm wondering about buying this (in the Afterparty shade).

What do you reckon? Is a grey palette good on blue eyes? I think I've always shied away from it because I've found it a bit harsh/cold.

I reckon that would work well! It has a plummy colour in there, I see, and if you were going for a bit of a smoky look that looks good on any eye colour, I think.

Thanks. I'm now doubting myself and back to looking at plummy browns!

Well I have blue eyes and wear grey eyeshadow a lot! :)

Light grey all over or dark grey as a liner ProPerformer? Or both?

Either or both. :) Mind you I think it also depends on your complexion. Plus I have dark rimmed glasses which may help. I'm afraid I'm no makeup expert but I just know what I like and know what looks good on me. Smile

I have blue/grey eyes, fair skin & freckles. I wear grey or navy blue eyeliner all the time.

I wear a silvery/grey eyeliner quite a bit and I think it looks nice. I also use a smoky grey eyeshadow from time to time. Oh, and I have blue/grey eyes, should probably mention that! I think if you can afford to treat yourself to some nice new make up you should go for it! Can always pass it on to a friend if you feel like it doesn't suit you, but it's nice to try something new!

I have grey/blue eyes and wear grey. I also like some greens although prob not supposed to. I tend to steer clear of plummy colours. They don't suit me and make my skin look sore or bruised.

I have blue eyes and grey is the only colour I ever wear on them. I have very pale skin and found anything with brown in it made me look red eyed/as if I had just been crying. I use the eyeshadow as eyeliner too.

Thanks all. I ordered it. Hopefully it won't be a big waste of money!

I have grey blue eyes and almost always wear grey eyeshadow. Like mathanxiety brown eyeshadow doesn't really suit me, it makes my eyelids look almost bruised or like I've been rubbing them.

I love grey with my blue eyes especially if it's shimmery/silver

There are a couple of greys I like - Laura mercier Sable and Mac copperplate. They're both taupey-greys. Some greys can be too blue, but these are not...
