Into the blue... there’s an ocean of shades to choose from
3INA Makeup The Colour Pen in 850, £13.95
Revolution Beauty Makeup Obsession Ocean Blues Eyeshadow Palette, £5
Huda Beauty Legit Lashes in Legit Blue Mini, £10.40
NYX Professional Makeup Jumbo Eye Pencil, £5.50
3INA Makeup The Colour Pen in 850, £13.95
3 INA Makeup’s cobalt blue liquid eyeliner has a super-fine precision tip that glides smoothly on to the lid, for a saturated line of long lasting colour. For a subtle look, flick The Colour Pen out from the outside edges of the eyes, or make a statement by recreating one of the bold graphic eyeliner designs that we’re seeing all over our newsfeeds at the moment featuring futuristic pattern, lines and dots.
Barry M Wildlife Palette, £7.99 The Wildlife Palette has three blue shadows: Meadow, cool blue shimmer; Holly Blue, sky blue matte; and Painted Lady, sky blue shimmer. Pack the pigment on as close to your lash line as possible, before blending it out with a fluffy brush so that it’s extra diffused around the edges. Each colour can be teamed with one of its sister shadows in the palette, in pink, plum, lilac and navy. 20% of the profit from the palette is donated to the People’s Trust For Endangered Species.
Huda Beauty Legit Lashes in Legit Blue Mini, £10.40 The Legit Lashes is a long-lasting electric blue mascara with two separate formulas and applicators, packaged in one tube. One side is designed to add volume, whereas the other is focused on lengthening and curling lashes. It can be worn alongside a light blue shadow, or else teamed with bare lids, a nude lip and natural, dewy skin. The ophthalmologist tested product is suitable for use on sensitive eyes.
NYX Professional Makeup Jumbo Eye Pencil, £5.50 The dual purpose NYX Professional Makeup Jumbo Eye Pencil can be used as an eyeliner and a shadow. Formulated with a blend of mineral oil and powder, the pencil glides over the lid. Use it on its own or an eyeshadow primer, or to line the lower lid. It’s another good option for fans of graphic makeup, as the crayon tip can be used to draw precise lines and shading in areas for solid blocks of colour.
Revolution Beauty Makeup Obsession Ocean Blues Eyeshadow Palette, £5
At £5, the Ocean Blues Eyeshadow Palette is a budget-friendly investment for newbies who’d like to experiment with blue eyeshadow looks. The mini compact contains nine shades in matte and shimmer, from Ice Ice Baby white to Deep Blue, with some gorgeous teal tones in the mix too. The lighter colours are ideal for brightening the inner corners of the eyes, whilst the deeper hues are handy for creating a smoky effect.

ARTDECO Soft Eyeliner in Cobalt Blue, £7.45 In addition to blue eyeshadow, Fall/Winter 2022 runway models were sporting smudged eyeliner. To achieve the look, simply take a creamy or soft kohl pencil and run along your water line before smudging it with your baby finger. The end result is an imperfect soft line. Artdeco’s Soft Eyeliner has a soft and creamy texture that becomes waterproof after it dries, so it’s easy to blend, yet it will stay put for ages.
