1o Stunning Blue Eyeshadow Looks
1. The Classic Blue Eyeshadow Smokey Eye
This look is a true crowd-pleaser. Apply a deep blue shadow to your crease and blend it outwards for a smoky effect. Then, use a lighter blue on your lid and finish with a touch of black or charcoal in the outer V for extra drama. This look is perfect for a night out or when you want to add some extra oomph to your everyday makeup.
I once wore this look to a friend’s wedding, and let me tell you, the compliments were endless! Just remember to keep the rest of your makeup balanced – a nude lip and flawless skin are your best friends here.💙
2. Bold and Beautiful Blue Eyeshadow Cut Crease
From yours truly 💙. I created this vibrant blue cut crease just for you! Start with a white or nude eyeshadow base (trust me, it makes the blue pop!), then use this same base to define the cutcrease. Using my favorite eyeshadow brush set and a metallic blue shadow from the Juvias Place Wahala 2 Palette, I finished off this sharp crease. I blend the edges for a seamless finish, and add some winged liner for extra drama. This look is perfect for a night out with the girls or a festival where you want to stand out from the crowd.
3. Pastel Blue
This look is like a breath of fresh air. Use a light blue shade all over your lid and then blend in gradually darker shades towards the outer . A touch of white highlighter in the inner corner makes your eyes pop. Finish with mascara and false lashes for added drama (optional, but oh-so-pretty!).
I love this look for daytime because it’s soft and romantic. It’s perfect for a spring brunch or a date.💙

4. Ethereal Blue Eyeshadow
This dreamy look is perfect for a daytime date or brunch with the girls. Start with a light wash of baby blue eyeshadow all over your lid. Then, gently blend a slightly deeper blue shade into the crease for added definition. Finish with a touch of white or silver highlighter in the inner corner of your eye to make them pop. This look is all about soft, blended colors, so don’t be afraid to use a fluffy brush to ensure a seamless finish.
For an extra ethereal touch, add a touch of shimmer to the center of your lid.💙
5. Blue Ombré Eyeshadow
The ombré effect is a fantastic way to create depth and dimension in your eye look. This technique is perfect for beginners or anyone who wants a look that’s both easy and eye-catching. Start with a light blue shade on the inner corner and gradually blend in deeper blues as you move outwards. The key here is to use blending brushes to ensure smooth transitions between colors. This look is perfect for everyday wear or a casual date night.
6. Blue Metallic Eyeshadow
Metallic eyeshadows add a touch of glamour to any look, and blue is no exception. You can achieve this look by applying a metallic blue shadow all over your lid for a dazzling effect. Remember to blend out any harsh lines with a fluffy brush for a softer look. This is a great option for a night out or any occasion where you want to feel glamorous.

Calling all glitter lovers! This look is perfect for anyone who wants to make a statement. Apply your favorite blue eyeshadow as a base, then pack on some loose blue glitter using your finger or a flat brush (don’t forget the glitter glue!). Finish off with mascara and falsies for extra drama. This look is guaranteed to turn heads!
8. Gradient Blue Eyeshadow
This look takes the classic ombré technique and flips it on its head. Instead of starting light and going dark, you can start dark and go light! This creates a dramatic and smokey effect that’s perfect for a night out. Feel free to experiment with different shades and textures (matte vs shimmery) to create a unique and playful look. The key is to blend the colors seamlessly for a polished finish.
9. Blue Eyeshadow Winged Liner
Love winged eyeliner but want something a little different? Try this blue winged liner look! Swap out your black liner for a vibrant blue shade and create your usual wing shape. This is a surprisingly versatile look that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
10. Blue Neon Eyeshadow
Want to truly stand out from the crowd? This neon blue eye look is for you! Apply an opaque neon blue shadow all over your lid for maximum impact. Just remember to use a waterproof formula to prevent creasing. This look is perfect for a costume party, a music festival, or anyone who wants to embrace their inner fashionista.
