Celebrity Trend: Smoky Blue Eye Shadow

Want to update your smoky eye? While blue eye shadow is sometimes considered a tacky effect (thanks to comical styles in the '80s!), when applied correctly the powerful pigment can really perk up your peepers. Celebrities are brightening up the classic smoldering eye look by sweeping on sexy shades of navy instead of the traditional noir hue. See how these stars rocked the trend—and get some inspiration for your next big night out.

CAMILLA BELLE

To make her eyes stand out from her all-black attire, Camilla sported slightly winged shimmering navy shadows along her eyelids. Instead of opting for the traditional red lip, she added a playful pop of pink lipstick.

DIANE KRUGER

To match her crystal-blue eyes, Diane wore a pastel blue shadow along her upper lash line. Peachy blush and pale pink lipstick completed the subtle, feminine look. 

ANNA KENDRICK

Anna displayed an edgy effec by filling a gray-blue shadow all the way up to her eyebrows. A neutral lip color balanced the dramatic eyes.
