For blue eyes and brown hair that looks red in the sun...pale skin and freckles?
Have always gone with browns. I like the smokey eye look but I wouldnt mind updating my look a little

I'm guessing as you're pale with freckles that you are cool toned?. Bronze and copper go well with blue eyes, maybe try an eyeliner, test it first as it could clash depending on your red tones in your skin. Taupes, champagnes and soft mauves are always good neutrals for cool tones. You want to steer clear of burnt colours like red, oranges and warm browns (UD heat palette, a big no for cool complexions ime).

You sound cool tomed. How about greys, silvers, pinks and blues?

I missed the notifications about your replies! Yes I think I am cool toned. It's funny that you've both mentioned pinks/soft mauves. I saw a friend recently who was wearing a dusky pink smudged on her lids and I really liked the look of it and Ivebeen itching to try it but worried I'll look like I've been in a fight, or have bad hayfever!

I'm cool toned and the majority of my make up is soft mauves, pinks and taupes. My most complimented make up is when I use the Dior quint in New Look. It's cool toned taupes and browns. I have dark brown hair, fair skin with dark freckles, my eyes are brown, green (Hazel?). But I'm pretty sure it'll look good on blues eyes too.
