The blue makeup spectrum ranges from pale Read more
Welcome to the final installment of blue is back, my four part series on blue makeup. Today we are looking at a couple of bad-ass electric blue mascaras. These are great when navy feels too safe, but you're feeling scared that purple might make you look bloodshot. Blues are a great way to add edginess to a natural or smokey eye.

Choose shades that aren't too matchy with your eye color, and remember to blend Read more
Katy Perry's been switching her hair color up all the time lately, but right now she appears to be enjoying this faded blue shade. With such an attention-grabbing hue, she wisely kept her lipstick and eye makeup simple: just her standard winged liner and bubblegum pink lip color. Her voluminous updo looks like a good faith attempt to minimize her edgy color as well, but with her exceptional hue, Read more

Busy Philipps channeled her California flower child in a sheer blue floral gown by SIMONE by Katie Nehra featuring a buttoned front, a cinched tie waist, and puffed sleeves. She kept the light, flowy, and hippie-inspired vibe going strong with an equally sweet front braid and natural makeup palette.

With the color and styling, the dress could look very formal, even a little austere, but Diane's tried to soften things with a casual ponytail, minimal jewelry, and makeup that looks like it would be just as appropriate for lunch Read more
