A Touch Of Blue

By Karen LaPorte

When blue eye makeup is mentioned, often scary images from the 1980’s come to mind. You know, tacky bright blue eyelids worn with bright pink lipstick. Those images can keep you away from trying what could be a great trick at enhancing your eye color. No matter what eye color you have, a simple touch of blue is all you need to make your eyes pop.

This summer try a little navy eyeliner, if you have light eyes this will make your eye color pop! For dark eyes it’s a great alternative to black eyeliner for sunny days. I love Sephora’s Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner in Shimmer Navy. The waterproof factor is a summer bonus!

A little blue eyeshadow in the corner of your eye will also give you a little brightness and clear any redness. To keep your eyes the main focus and not your blue eyeshadow try a light shade as a highlight like Taylor Swift’s eyes above. See how it enhances her sparkle! I suggest trying the Dior 5-Colour Iridescent Eyeshadow kit. It gives you plenty of summer blues to play with.

And finally, if you really are timid about diving into the blue, start off with some blue mascara. A subtle hint of blue will show up on your lashes giving you a little more color and brightness. It doesn’t get any better than Benefit’s Bad Gal Blue mascara. It will make blue eyes appear even bluer, give a golden hue to brown eyes, and make hazel eyes look greener. Simply put, it’s a must have!
