Blue eyeshadow is a bit of a scary topic. There are lots of unstylish memories haunting this rather innocent colour. But… it is trendy this season. So let’s tackle it. And more importantly: let’s use it to create great smokey eyes!

First though, a very succinct and useful tip from a revered makeup artist Gina Brooke: “ Your shadow won’t look straight out of the’80s if you choose soft hues” (source: “ How To Wear Colored Shadow, instyle.com).   

Following that train of thought, I would advise to use a very pale powder blue as a base. On top of that wash of colour “sculpt” the lid beautifully with greys or blacks to create a multidimensional smokey eye. That would define the eye and still take advantage of the spring trend.

Would you use blue on your eyes?
