Yeah, I don't have blue eyes but this one really brings out both the green and the brown in my hazel eyes. I wasn't too impressed with the other 3 (the green eyes made me look bruised the other two didnt wow me in the pigment catergory) but this one is definitely a keeper.

I'm glad you like it, Sam http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif I've tried all 4, and the one for blue eyes was my least fave. I just don't like me in blues though, as I haven't found any yet that don't accentuate my dark circles. I didn't like the ones for brown or green eyes - the brown was weird with a cool-toned purple and warm bronze, and the green eyes made me look bruised as well. My fave was the one for hazel eyes, but it's just too frosty. I wish I liked these still, as I really liked them when they first came out.

I'm glad the blue eyed compact worked for SOMEBODY! I have blue eyes, and I hated the compact. I used the pale blue as a wash, the dark blue on the lid and the brown in the crease, just like they recommend, and it looked so bad. I had to wash my face immediately. No matter how much I blended, it just did not look good. So now I use the brown as a liner and I rarely use the blue. I love how pigmented the colors are tho. Glad you're liking it!

I have blue eyes, and I have found in general that blue shadows and liners do nothing to bring out my blue eyes. I never got the almay palette tho. I am glad it worked for you http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

So the secret to these things is to wear any color palette EXCEPT for the one that Almay designates for your eye color, right LOL? http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
So happy you love it, Sam -- I wish I could've gotten away with it, but the only shade that worked for me was the bronze color, and that wasn't enough to make me love it, sadly.
But fabulous that it's doing right by you! http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

LOL Christine, just stay away from the one for green eyeshttp://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif unless you like that just punched in the eye lookhttp://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
Erica, that's a shame you cant wear blueshttp://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif I find that blues bring out the green in my eyes better than almost any other color. I personally only use the others for maybe one color each (I do love the dark green in the green eyes trio) but I cant stand to use them as Almay suggests.

I'm determined to eventually find a blue that doesn't accentuate my dark cirles - maybe then I can experience the hazel eye enhancing goodness! http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif I've found neutrals and pinks to be very eye-popping for me, but I can't speak for blues since I haven't found one I didn't immediately wash off...

Honestly, I really do think thats the trick. Today and yesterday, I tried to wear the trio for blue eyes, and it just looked werid. I could defiently see somebody with any eye color than blue wear this. I personally can't, and its hard for me to blend these right.

You know, to be honest, I don't even think the blue colors look very flattering on Almay's own spokesmodel! (Maybe it's just me....)
