Bright eye shadow was always my thing as a teenager. Slowly, I’ve moved to the dark, smokey-gray look, but lately I’ve been nostalgic for that wide-eyed, disco superstar appearance. Proenza Schouler marched models down the fall 08 runway with a shocking electric blue hue surrounding their eyes. Frosty peacock shadow goes really well with lilac accents for a more ethereal look. But the method I have always loved, and Eve agrees with me, is to line the eye in black before smothering your lids with a thick layer of bright blue. It makes the eye pop and is more practical for the streets. Plus, it reduced your chances of looking too much like a martian. My favorite is M.A.C. eye shadow in Clarity, but I’m sure the many brands of Sephora can serve all of your baby blue needs.
