If you’re wondering how to do cool eye makeup, here’s your first clue. Jewel tones are the traditional recommendation for girls with cooler skin tones. If you’ve decided this is you, then tones like those in the Laura Geller Color Dots are what you’re after. Jade and Lapis tones play well against cooler skin tones.

Why? Well, cooler skin colors typically have blue or pink undertones. You will look better in silver jewelry than gold. (Great tests if you are unsure of your skin tone). That’s because the jewel tones compliment those undertones, while other colors seem to wash them out. There are a thousand beauty reviews that recommend certain colors for certain skin tones. But they all agree that a key to how to do cool eye makeup is by including these jewel colors in the makeup palette.

You’ll still need to take your eye and hair color into account when choosing colors that work for you. But here’s a start for how to do cool eye makeup.

1. Apply a light color to the overall lid.
2. Then brush BECCA Jewel Dust Xantho (bronze gold) under the crease line.
3. Follow-up with BECCA Jewel Dust Feeorin (a vibrant emerald green) on the outer part of the eyelid.
4. Blend with your brush.

For most girls with cooler skin tones these colors will make your eyes pop! There’s a reason that all the beauty reviews focus on jewel tones for how to do cool eye makeup. It works.
