Barbie-Inspired Makeup Looks for Different Eye Color

Barbie has been a fashion icon ever since her inception in 1959, but the release of feature film Barbie in 2023 marked an explosive new wave of appreciation for the Barbiecore aesthetic. Nowadays, women all around the world are thinking pink when it comes to makeup, clothes, and so much more, embracing the unapologetic femininity that Barbie represents. Here, we’ll be focusing on how you can enhance your eye color—whether it’s natural or achieved with colored contact lenses—with different styles of Barbiecore makeup.

Understanding Eye Color

No one’s eyes are made up of one solid color. If you look closely at your iris, you can see that it has tons of different pigments and textures running throughout that come together to make your overall shade. Whether your eyes are blue, green, brown, hazel, or something in between, they will always have hues and undertones that affect how different makeup colors look next to them. This also means that if you want to use products that don’t quite vibe with your natural eye color, you can wear colored contacts to switch things up and complete your look.

Barbie Makeup Looks for Each Eye Color

Dazzling Barbie Makeup for Blue Eyes

      Cherry Ocean                    Cloud Pink

The original Barbie had blue eyes just like you, so you can rest easy knowing pink looks great on you. Our Cherry Ocean lenses will add some ocean-green tones that pair well with cool colors like fuchsia and aquamarine. On the flip side, you can try Cloud Pink to bring some warm purple notes to the party that will shine next to hot pink and peach-colored shadows.

Enchanting Barbie Makeup for Green Eyes

    Ephemeral Brown               Lemon Cheese

Green is the rarest eye color there is, so you don’t need to work too hard to make it pop. Because pink is just a shade of red, it complements green really well by itself, so you can have a blast playing around with different shades and designs. Try our Ephemeral Brown or Lemon Cheese lenses to add some striking depth that will look fantastic next to pink with green or blue accents.

Stunning Barbie Makeup for Brown Eyes

   Dreamlike Purple                  Kilig Brown

Brown eyes often go unappreciated because they’re the most common, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create exciting Barbiecore looks with them! You can use our Dreamlike Purple contact lenses to take things to a whole other level with an explosion of color that will really have you feeling your fantasy. At the other end of the spectrum, our Kilig Brown lenses bring that little extra bit of dimension that you want to go along with punchy peach or coral eyeshadow.

Magical Barbie Makeup for Hazel Eyes

    Champagne                 Fantasy Silky Gold

Hazel eyes take all the best parts of green and brown eyes and mix them together for a beautiful result! If you need to cool things down for your makeup look, though, you can wear our Champagne lenses, which add a grayish tone that’s adaptable to lots of different makeup colors. Alternatively, try our Fantasy Silky Gold lenses to bring out your natural greens and golds and pair them with fun pink Barbie makeup that’s accented with gold or brown.
