Blue eye shadow was everywhere for Spring/Summer 2014 from Marc by Marc Jacobs, Miu Miu, Anna Sui to Prada everyone was in a blue mood.  

Ok blue eyes, my first thought is Eighties disco fever or the local beauty therapist (who should have retired years ago) with her blue  

shimmer eye shadow , pastel pinks lips and powerfully applied rouge. But it all depends on how you keep it modern. 

The Trick for making the blue look modern 

• Always keep cheeks and lips lighter, to let the eyes really stand out. 
• Never use too much shimmer or you will be transcended back to that 80’s disco. I think the matte shades work best in the crease and up to the brow bone.  
• Never match your blue eyes to your eye shadow, always try a different shade of blue to make your eyes pop. 
• Always blend, blend, and blend. To save it from looking cheap use a professional brush. No licking the fingers please  
• Always use softer more matte hues on mature ladies and keep the vivid shimmery shades to the youngsters. But over 60 should avoid this colour altogether.
