Celebrity-Inspired Ways To Wear Blue Eye Makeup This Spring
If blue eyeshadow makes you think of over-the-top eighties looks, then you haven't seen the modernized versions on today's most on-trend celebrities. Variations of color, texture, and makeup type give you way more options than the outdated pale blue streaks of Saved by the Bell episodes past.
You can start small, using a metallic blue eyeliner close to your lash line, or get brave and go for a full lid-to-crease shadow look. Check out these seven stars for inspiration, and start experimenting!
