Motives Beauty – The Blue Trend

October 16th // 2 Comments

Forget all of the old-fashioned rules you’ve heard against wearing blue eye makeup. This season’s blue is bright, beautiful, and nowhere near outdated!

celebrity blue trendCelebrities such as Kate Hudson, Katie Holmes, Rihanna, and Beyonce are all great examples of ladies who know how to pull off the color. The key to this season’s sophisticated eye, is to wear it with a nude lip, and be sure to blend, blend, blend!

It’s also best practice to contrast your eye-color to your shadow/liner color–that way, your features won’t get lost in the mix. Blue-eyed beauties can pull this look off too; just be sure to select a shade of blue that’s different from your own.

Here are a few of my favorite Motives picks to help demonstrate the blue trend that we’re seeing:

Because gel eyeliner glides on so easily, it can be used to achieve Beyonce’s sleek, indigo cat-eye look. Plus, it contains mineral pigments to give your eyes that extra sparkle. In case you missed it, Motives gel eyeliner’s were recently featured on fashion magazine, Elle.com’s website.

Besides gel eyeliners, the Motives Ol’ Blue Eyes Palette is another great piece to help you duplicate the blue trend that celebrities have been wearing. This palette contains a versatile shade of blues, along with complementing colors that will make your eyes really pop.

    That is a great idea to wear the seafoam as a base! Thanks for sharing this!

    Down here in Aussieland, we love “the blue trend” also. And we have been topping the color with the gold dust from the custom mineral line. So much fun for an evening out on the town. Since it is spring here, we have been wearing the new seabreeze eyeshadow with the seafoam as a base color, it is fun and bold!
