Blue eyed queen (Shades 101)

Blue eyeshadow can be worn both day and night, and can be especially flattering for blue, brown, and hazel eye colors. Looking for a makeup makeover? Here's what you need to wear blue eyeshadow the right way.

Steps

1. 1. Apply a thin layer of eye primer. This will help keep your eye makeup in place and to last all day..

2. 2. Apply a line of blue eyeliner. Create a very thin line just above your lashes before applying the actual color. This helps create a strong and attractive effect as you begin to layer.

3. 3. Start with a light beige eyeshadow color. Apply from the lash line to the brow bone. Apply this with your eyebrow applicator and blend.

4. 4. Add the next layer of dark blue eyeshadow. Apply the darker of the two shades up to the crease of the eye and blend very well at the crease.

5. 5. Add the last layer of blue eyeshadow. This needs to be just one or two shades lighter than the darkest shade, and can be applied up to the middle of the eyelid and blended. This creates a high impact, bold look.

6. 6. Finish the eyes with one more application of eyeliner. Apply a thin and crease-free line of blue eyeliner to complete the look.

7. 7. Add 1 or 2 coats of mascara to lashes for the ultimate look.
