For Your Eyelashes Only
A mascara when applied in the right way, it can dramatically enhance your eyes. Imagine if you have blue eyes, how great they would look.

Moreover your eyes will look brighter as well. A brown shade will however, achieve these objectives without overpowering the blue color of your eyes, instead of a black mascara.

Shaping Your Eyes

Light shade on the upper eyelid and darker shade on the crease will augur well if you have small eyes.

Lashing Glory
Using the colors mentioned earlier, coat your eyes with natural shades and use a dark shade of eyeliner along the eye lashes. If you are game with the idea of having fake eye lashes, you can use them to make your eyes stand out. Have neutral and nude colored lips and complement them with dazzling, smoky blue eyes. This will be absolutely dramatic and will certainly earn you some appreciating glances.

What Shade is it?

If you have grayish blue or bluish gray eyes, the easiest thing to do is to match the color of the eyeshadow for blue eyes with the color of your prom dress. If you have light blue colored eyes, it is preferable to go for lighter shades.
