Blue Impact
A little birdie, or shall we say bluebird, tells us a certain hued eyeshadow is making a comeback. Can you guess what shade? Yep, blue. Blue eyeshadow has been gaining more and more traction in the beauty world and we have to say we’re a bit surprised at how much we’re into this new but familiar shade of shadow. As far as the beauty chronicles of the 90s and 2000s were concerned, blue eyeshadow certainly made its mark, embodying the bold spirit, self-expression and experimentation of those eras. From icy pastels to deep navy shades, celebrities and fashion icons embraced this trend, making it an emblem of the times and this time around in 2023, we’re noticing a renaissance of sorts that carries that same sense bold expression of individuality so it’s no surprise that blue eyeshadow is making a strong reappearance as well.
So, how can we dive into this trending eyeshadow hue that’s full of allure and charm? This retro shadow is great because you can style it in an everyday retro, nostalgic glam way yet it’s also suitable for strutting down the runway. Plus, there isn’t one sole shade of blue to choose from; you've got your oceanic tints and bold electric hues that create a broad spectrum of possibilities for different eye looks. So, that’s where the secret lies to pulling off this look: the right shade for your skin and eye color.
For those with warm undertones, earthy blues like turquoise and teal can create a stunning contrast that brings out the warmth in your complexion. On the other hand, cool undertones find their match in icy blues and deep navy shades, creating a complementary equilibrium. When it comes to eye color, a strategic choice of blue can make your eyes pop such as sapphire for brown eyes and baby blues like periwinkle for green. The key to this look is experimentation and also finding the shade that speaks to you. Gosh, who knew we had so much to say about blue eyeshadow? What do you think of this trend? Do you support its comeback or should it stay in the 90s? Let us know what you think of this nostalgic makeup look.
