The classic middle school makeup faux pas just got a face lift; and it might be the perfect makeup trend to try if you’re looking to spice up your everyday look. Swiping on blue mascara or eyeliner (or both!) is easier than it looks, thanks to Sephora’s new collection of various blue-hued products.
Blue makeup isn’t anything new. People have been donning the color on their lids for decades. But it’s grown a stigma that blue eyelids equals “outdated” or “inexperienced.” Fashionista’s like this one prove that this is not entirely true! The trick to perfecting this look is to choose an eyeliner that is a different shade than the mascara, preferably lighter. It adds intrigue to the already unique look.
Blue makeup can work in almost any situation. This Fashionista wears it to class, but can easily keep it on for a job or party afterward. Her outfit continues the double-blue look as she dons denim on denim. Her other unique accents include the patchwork on her jacket and backpack as well as her checkered Vans with strawberry socks.
The next time someone complains that blue eye makeup “has always been, still is and will forever be horrendous” prove them wrong. With the help of all the inspiration in the fashion world, at Sephora and on campus anyone can obtain a 10/10 blue-lidded look.
What’s on the BEAUTY BAR: While the fear that your rookie makeup days might come back to tantalize you, blue eyeliner and mascara is an easy way of getting that beautiful color without looking like you’ve just retaken your seventh grade class photo. Simply swipe on a blue eyeliner as you would with any eyeliner. Apply blue mascara just like any mascara. Then bat those vibrant lashes. You’ll feel anything but blue when wearing this blue makeup!
