Blue Eyeshadow + Blue Dress = Tacky?

I don't usually ask for advice on stuff like this but I'm really struggling! I've bought a new dress for my 21st in a few weeks and some new shoes, but I want to do something interesting with my eyes.
I usually just do a smokey eye for a night out but I don't just want black or gold eyes cos I'm so bored of it!

Pink might be nice actually :) I have a new pink lipstick I need to try.

I love your outfit! What about a copper smoky eye or even copper cream eyeshadow.

I don't think it would look tacky, but I'd go with something more subtle in the makeup. To accentuate your eyes, I see a silver-smokey eye, with blue eyeliner. Gorgeous dress!

I don't think blue would look bad but maybe try silver eyeshadow and like above blue or black eyeliner

I wouldn't do blue. There are ways to make it look less tacky, but it CAN be tacky if done the wrong way.

There's also a bit of blue on your shoes so I think it will be too much, what about dark grey or simply another popping colour some suggested pink, maybe blend it with a darker purple and black?

I think that with the blue dress and blue shoes that blue eyeshadow would be overkill. So try what @Stephanie V said and do pink or yellow. Maybe even a silver with glitter. I think that would be very cute.

I'm not really a fan of silver on my eyes, but a matte grey might be nice, tie in with the grey on my shoes, and maybe pink lipstick. Ill try some different colour combos over the next week and ill have to decide then :) thanks ladies

I think it would look nice but do a natural lip, not pink. I also think you should make the eye a bit less dramatic.

Do a smoky bronzish! And then nude lips:)

I think maybe a bronzy look might look better. Blue wouldn't be bad, but I think a smokey, or bronzy look with shimmer might look nice (:

I so agree with Jetty and Rachel. It'll go perfect with the dress and your green eyes.

Agreed... A bronzes (macs wood winked or bronze) with the crease of dark Brown (macs Swiss chocolate in the crease would look great
