Although the intensity of blue eyes mostly depends on the light reflected, your hair color can also make them pop more.

2. Mushroom Blonde Melt

Although blue-eyed beauties usually go for brighter shades of blonde, we suggest choosing more earthy shades for those with warmer complexion, ashy blonde, for example. For a seamless graduation from light brown to cool-toned blonde, ask for an ombre or balayage.
