Three Cool New Ways to Wear Blue Eye Makeup

There’s something about blue eye makeup that either makes girls cringe or squeal. Here at GL we happen to LOVE the trend, and so do the beauty gurus we’ve been chatting up. Blue hues brighten up your eyes and add a cool pop o’ color. From aqua to navy, they’re super summery…but will secretly look gorge in the early days of autumn.
 
Dazzle in Denim Shadow
“Blue eye shadow can be tricky but also look beautiful on everyone,” says beauty genius Bobbi Brown. “Dark blue eye shadows, like denim for example, look beautiful when used as an eyeliner instead of a shadow.” Use a tiny brush to swipe the shadow just along your lash line. How gorgeous, girl.

Rock Out in Aqua
“I’m really liking the color blue right now,” celeb makeup Mathew Niagra tells us. Consider trying it out on your next vacay, too, ‘cause “purple and blue look so good in photos.” He suggests applying a sheer wash of a bright hue for a super-modern take on this retro color.

Sparkle with Sapphire Liner
Shimmery blue liner adds instant interest to eyes and is perf for a night out. Apply a thick line and then smudge it with a Q-tip. Looks lovely with a bit of mascara. What a gem!
