Currently Trending: Blue Eyeshadow

One of my favorite trends this season is blue eyeshadow, the popularity of this trend comes and goes. You may recall in 2013 I wrote a post called Spring Trend: Blue Eyes and now seven years later it is back.  Blue is one of my favorite colors and I think it is a fun way to create a dramatic look that is not a red lip.  I have also read countless articles that you should not use blue shadow if your eyes are blue but I disagree – I think it is a fun way to play up my blue green eyes. 

However, over the years my products have changed (thankfully as makeup does expire) and instead of Urban Decay and Sephora products I used a different combination. This look is a combination of the Morphe 9B Bronzed Babe Eyeshadow Palette, the Tom Ford Eye Color Quad 03 Cocoa Mirage, and the Sleek MakeUP I-Divine Palette in Original 594  as well as the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Skin Frost.  Take a look at my latest blue shadow creation: 

And now if you are interested in creating your own look I have linked the gout palettes I used above to create this ombré look.   However, based on reviews and reader recommendations, I have rounded up some of the best blue shadows and palettes available this season at an array of prices from $5 to $54:
