Use Contrast To Intensify

Your eyes naturally are bright on your face, so an easy way to pinpoint focus on them is to define your shape with eyeliner. Just a simple liner paired with nude eyeshadow does the job very well.

For a more glam, dramatic look that's still soft, shimmery browns and neutrals look brilliant!

Eyeliner makes a big impact on the contract because if it's too harsh, it doesn't look as good as a softer, more blended line.  So ensure that you blend your liner, and then tightline for that sharp definition. 

Your best version of a smokey eye that dramatizes your profile is a combination of light golds with brown as the 'dirty' smoke instead of black. A black smokey eye looks unnatural because it's not in line with your light coloring. 

Red lipstick, is also one color that complements the neutral makeup. If you look at the color wheel, the combination of blue eyes, and blonde hair is best contrasted with red.
