Break out with the Blues

Ah Spring! The world comes bursting to life with a cacophony of sounds and colors. Everything is new again inspiring us to make a change. Make that change by breaking out of the boring brown or black eyeliner - look to break out with the blues!

Blue? Fear not! Blue can be worn by anyone and worn well. Try these ideas:

~For those women whose skin tone is darker try a teal blue or deep turquoise like our Duet Eyeliner in Blue.

~If your eyes tend toward an orangey brown... a cobalt blue will make your eyes pop!

~Blue eyed already? Smoke a lovely mid tone blue like Catch Me Powder in Blue Star close to the lashline, try it with a soft silver eyeliner for extra sparkle.

~For a nice variation try a little blue shadow smudged just under the corner of your lower lashline - try Elain's Electric Eyes in Love Cleo.

~Shift your blue toward the green a little with Indigo Dream Electric Eyes.

Be bold! Try something new and experiment - makeup is a flexible and fun accessory!
