How to Wear Blue Eye Shadow Using Revlon Products

Blue eye shadow is back—and it's more wearable, creative, and empowering than ever. Once considered a nostalgic '90s throwback, this vibrant hue is now a statement of modern self-expression. From subtle daytime washes to bold graphic accents, blue eye shadow has found its place in everyone’s makeup bag—regardless of eye color or skin tone.

Whether you’re experimenting with color for the first time or elevating your go-to glam, Revlon has the perfect palette to help you create your look with confidence. Let’s explore how to choose, apply, and style blue eye shadow using Revlon’s expertly curated products.

Find the Best Blue Eye Shadow for Your Eye Color

Choosing the right shade of blue can highlight your eyes in all the right ways. Here's how to pick the most flattering tones:

  • Brown Eyes: You can pull off any blue, but navy, denim, and electric blue offer the most striking contrast.

  • Green Eyes: Jewel-toned shades like teal and turquoise enhance the natural vibrancy of green.

  • Blue Eyes: Opt for hues that are slightly darker than your eye color—like slate or midnight blue—to add depth and contrast.

  • Hazel Eyes: You have range—try icy blues, periwinkle, or even warmer shades like cornflower for a custom look.

 Try the ColorStay Day to Night™ Eyeshadow Quad for rich blue options with up to 24HR wear. Or, explore the PhotoReady™ Eye Contour Kit for blendable shades designed to enhance your eye shape and color.

Prep Your Eyes for Maximum Color Impact

To get the most from your blue eye shadow, it all starts with the right prep:

  • Apply an eye primer or neutral base shadow to create a smooth canvas and boost color payoff.

  • Use the right tools: a flat brush for packing on pigment, a blending brush for seamless edges, and an angled brush for detailed lines.

Revlon’s creamy formulas, like those in the ColorStay and PhotoReady collections, are designed for easy layering so you can go bold or soft without worrying about patchiness or fallout.

Step-by-Step Blue Eye Shadow Looks

Soft Daytime Blue

This look is subtle yet stylish—ideal for everyday wear.

  1. Sweep a pastel or baby blue shade across the eyelid.

  2. Blend the edges into the crease with a neutral brown or beige.

  3. Dab a shimmer or satin blue on the inner corners to brighten the eyes.

  4. Keep cheeks and lips soft to let your eyes do the talking.

Bold Blue Smoky Eye

Dial up the drama with this edgy yet wearable night-out look.

  1. Apply a deep navy or cobalt shade to the outer corners and blend into the crease.

  2. Press a lighter blue or silver shimmer onto the center of the lid for dimension.

  3. Smudge the same deep blue along your lower lash line for a smoky effect.

  4. Finish with black or navy eyeliner and several coats of volumizing mascara.

Graphic or Accent Blue

Make a modern statement with minimal effort.

  1. Use an angled brush to apply bright blue shadow as a liner.

  2. For a bold twist, carve out a cut crease with metallic or shimmer blue.

  3. Keep the rest of your makeup pared back—nude lips and light blush balance the boldness.

Pro Tips for the Blue Eye Shadow Look

  • Blend your edges well to create a smooth gradient of color.

  • Layer a light neutral shadow under blue tones to intensify brightness.

  • Use the lightest shade in your palette to highlight the inner corner and brow bone.

  • Blue pairs beautifully with understated lips—think nude gloss or soft peach—and a swipe of pink-toned blush.
