Gray eyes in their pure form are not as common as it might seem. If you look closely at photographs of girls with gray eyes, you will notice that they have either a blue or green undertone, which easily comes to the fore with a certain shade of clothing or eye shadow.
We present a selection of celebrity looks and tips on choosing the right shade of eye shadow for blue-gray or cool gray eyes.
What eyeshadow colors are suitable for gray eyes?
Gray and silver shadows for smoky makeup
For blondes, brunettes and brown-haired women with gray eyes, classic gray shadows with a metallic shine effect will never be out of place in a cosmetic bag. This is a win-win option for evening makeup, which can be made more rich and vibrant by mixing a gray base with green, pink, purple or brown shadows.
Beige-brown eyeshadow for neutral makeup
Blondes of a warm color type with gray eyes and natural golden, caramel or honey hair almost always look great with beige shadows, which highlight cool-toned eyes.
Peach, opal, orange shadows for contrasting makeup for blondes
Using a reddish orange undertone in shadows of varying degrees of depth or saturation, girls with gray eyes can create bright contrasting makeup that highlights the eye color.
Pink and lilac shadows for romantic makeup for blondes
Blonde girls with gray eyes should try soft feminine makeup, which can be created with pink or lilac (lavender) eye shadow. This look is especially suitable for an outfit in these shades.
Purple eyeshadow for evening makeup
Gray-eyed brunettes are suitable for eye makeup with deep or muted purple, carefully shaded along with gray or brown.
Muted green eye shadow for grey-green eyes
Owners of gray-green eyes should emphasize the green tint by highlighting it with eyeliner or shadows in related shades. This makeup makes the eyes brighter and more expressive without a heavy smokey eye. This is especially true for blondes with a warm color type.

Celebrity makeup with gray eyes
Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence has dark gray eyes that sometimes have a blue tint. The actress has been wearing platinum hair lately and sticks to the classic smokey eye when it comes to makeup. Jennifer has a round face and eyes with rather heavy drooping eyelids, so you can make them expressive with smoky makeup in shades of gray or brown, and lengthening mascara.
Dakota Fanning
The young American actress has a very gentle appearance: fair skin with a pink undertone, golden hair and blue-gray eyes. Due to her age, she should not wear makeup in rich, bright colors. For her cool gray eyes, Dakota sticks to metallic silver eyeshadow or bright and light gold shades.
Jessica Stam
Jessica Stam has a light summer color type: the model has light gray eyes and platinum hair. Jessica wears shades of pale taupe, muted lavender, and smoky makeup in shades of gray with metallic accents.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Sarah has a complex appearance: she has a long, elongated face with narrow, deep-set gray eyes. Such data can easily be spoiled by inappropriate makeup with the wrong color scheme and heavy, dark, sharp lines. The actress looks best with shades of gray and light brown.
Natalya Vodyanova
The Russian supermodel is a representative of the “cold summer” color type. On the set of advertising campaigns and on the catwalk, Natalia wore makeup in different colors, and on the red carpet or in real life, she often chooses natural shades of beige or a classic smokey eye in muted gray or metallic effect.
Katy Perry
The singer’s bright contrasting “winter” color type gives her the opportunity to experiment heartily with beauty looks. Katie looks most harmonious with shades of purple, cool green, and muted brown smokey eye.
Amy Adams
The red-haired Hollywood star has the type of appearance that doesn't need bright shades and harsh eyeliner lines. Her most successful images are with makeup that matches either her hair color or eye shade. That is, the actress chooses eyeshadow in golden or silver shades, sometimes including blue and lilac.
Natalie Dormer
The English actress with light gray eyes appears at social events with expressive but muted makeup. Makeup artists create makeup for Natalie with matte eye shadow in shades of lilac, lavender, gray, as well as taupe or gray-violet. Most often, this is a smoky makeup technique, in which the emphasis is not on the color of the shadows, but on a thin, expressive eyeliner liner.
Saoirse Ronan
Saoirse's large gray eyes appear either greenish or blue, depending on the lighting, the actress's outfit and the color of her shadows. For a dramatic effect, she wears a classic smokey eye in gray shades, while beige shades with a reddish undertone or golden effect brighten the eyes, creating a stylish contrasting look.
Lily Donaldson
The English model is a naturally golden blonde with cool gray eyes. For Lily, silver smoky makeup, brown-beige eyeshadow, and gray-brown taupe eyeshadow are considered ideal.
Diane Kruger
The German actress is a well-known fashionista, and the colors of her makeup are in harmony with the shades of her outfits. A blonde with gray eyes, she never wears flashy colors or too dark eyeshadow, preferring neutral versions of the smokey eye in shades of beige, gray, taupe, and warm khaki.
Most often, the actress appears in public with natural, discreet makeup in shades of beige, which perfectly highlight the color of her eyes. Sometimes her makeup artist does a deeper smokey eye or a style with color accents.
