Blue liner

Liner is an easy way to define and accentuate your eyes and by adding a little colour into the mix is an easy way to wear brights. Blue is a colour that most steer away from, but inspired by the Lancôme spring collection advert, I decided to give turquoise a go…

Starting with the shade- a bright aqua is a great shade for the upcoming spring months and especially suits hazel or brown eyes. It really makes them pop. If your eyes are blue, try something with a little darker and deeper, with a bronze shimmer running through it. Using blue against blue simply reduces the shade of your eyes. For green, try something with a touch more indigo in, again blue can wash out the eye colour.

For an all-round liner, try the Avon glow liquid eye-liner in tropical blue. It is a simple blue, with slight shimmer that’s not too green or dark. The sponge tip applicator makes it really easy to get a thin and precise line. The long handle also allows easy grip and control.

You can leave it as a sharp line, or slightly smudge it in with matching shadow. You could also apply under the eye for a more dramatic look too.

If you’re looking for a shadow, blush and lipstick to pair alongside it, look no further. ‘Nooner’ from the Urban Decay naked 3 palette is the perfect crease shade to match. Personally, I think peach matches perfectly with blue, so the MUA blusher in ‘Lolly’ is the perfect peach shade. It’s also a fabulous dupe for Clinique’s cheek pop in peach pop.

A peach lippy? Revlon’s Juicy papaya is subtle due to its balmy formula, but gives a bright pop of peachy coral.
