This spring is gearing up to be a pretty big season for beauty trends. People are taking bigger risks with color and application. Marion Cotillard, looking stunning in sparkly blue shadow and shimmery pink lips, delved right into two of the season’s biggest hits—colored shadow and pale lips—and made it look easy. Here’s why it worked:

1. The shade of blue she chose for her eyes was bold, but had enough gray tones to balance out the brightness. Try Motives Pressed Eyeshadow in Blueberry Frost to get the same results.

2. She used a strong, defined liner, like Motives Luxe Precision Eye Line, to create a heavy top lid that was a grounding point for the shimmer in her eyeshadow.

3. Instead of going with the super-trendy matte, nude lip, she opted for a shiny gloss, which kept the overall effect soft and pretty. Try Motives Lip Shine in Tease to get the same effect.
