Did you know only 10 percent of the world's population has blue eyes? It's true -- blue is one of the rarest eye colors out there, which is why it's so important to flaunt them, if you've got them. Your eyes are often the first thing people notice when they meet you, so it's important to know what makeup shades will best enhance their beautiful color, right?

Celebrities like Alexis Bledel and Reese Witherspoon are known for their gorgeous blue eyes, and they (or should we say, their makeup artists) have mastered the art of making their eyes stand out on the red carpet. Whether they choose a smoky eye look to make their blue eyes look more dramatic or a soft shimmer to make the blue really pop -- their eyes often end up being the best accessory to the gorgeous gowns they wear.

Because we don't want to let celebrities have all the fun, we spoke to Matin, celebrity makeup artist and Neutrogena cosmetics science expert, about how you can enhance your blue eyes. The key: you don't want to "drown out the natural beauty of the eye pigment," Matin says. Turns out, all it takes are a few simple makeup tricks to avoid that. Check out the celebrity makeup looks we dug up and use Matin's tricks to make your eyes shine as bright as possible.
