Sorry minimalists, but the beauty forecast says color is in -- and the trend is sticking around for the foreseeable future. One statement color that is making a comeback this season is blue. This time around, the shade has undergone a modern makeover with deeper shades like navy and royal blue circulating around every beauty industry shindig.
Make no mistake about it, the shade blue is very wearable in real life. But for conservative occasions, a subtler shade of blue would be more appropriate. There are many ways to tone down bolder shades of makeup. For example: If you’re wearing bold eyeliner, minimize its intensity by pairing it with a neutral liner. Colorful makeup looks are not just for the editorial pages anymore! This video teaches you how to rock a blue makeup look with confidence.
