Baby, Baby, Baby Blues!

Blue can be a difficult eyeshadow color to wear. The bolder the color and tone of the shadow happen to be. Light blues are easier to wear than darker tones. Lighter blues (baby blues) help to highlight a naturally blue eye, making the color of the eye itself more intense. It can also help to add a bit of color to a more natural look, try highlighting the lower lid with a light blue and a neutral top lid!
