Blue Eye Makeup Trend at the 2008 VMAs

Trend Alert: Blue Eye Accents at the 2008 VMAs

September 8, 2008

Whether it be an icy shadow or a dark navy liner, one thing is for sure — blue was cool at last night's VMAs. I love how Bar Refaeli, Stephanie Pratt, and Pink went for frosty versions to bring brightness to their eyes. Rihanna and Ashlee Simpson opted for a more smoky edge, while Christina Aguilera added her own unique (as usual) take on the trend. Do you think you'll be wearing any of these blue-hued looks?

I myself like Stephanie's. I have pale skin and blueish gray eyes, so i find that pale blue doesnt suit me too well. I think i'll try navy.

Love some blues..charcoal-smokey blues, turquoise/teals (think Nars Cleo) and those good old-school YSL deep matte purple-blues, (MUFE makes one, its awesome.) I have blue eyes but..barely, they are almost grey, I don't tend to like light frosty blues, I like deep ones as accents/smoke/liners.

and the rags always told us blue-eyed's to stay away from that frosty blue eye shadow like the plague lol niche, that is a great idea, I never had anyone ask how to tame this dramatic look down for day- I will have to try this on someone !! My personal fave-look for blue eyes is a nice golden-taupe shadow, dark forest green liner(inbetween the lashes only) and a navy blue mascara, curl lashes slightly. You can NEVER go wrong with a Navy Blue mascara for a blue-eyed girl! Never! :)

Love Christina's look...sooo Barbarella, 60's, but false lashes are so freakin' annoying to put on!

I have medium blue eyes, so navy looks really nice but the light blue can be very tricky. I think with this inspiration I'll be digging out my navy liner again soon!
