Whenever I hear that the turquoise eye look is back in style, I cringe with horror, and think back to the 80’s. Permed hair, purple lipstick, acid washed jeans and teal, blue eyeshadow were colorful, but not flattering. It’s a Barbie doll look I’m hoping the fashion industry would just leave in the past.
However, leave it to the experts to make the turquoise eye fresh, modern and completely flattering. A solid blue shadow across the eye looks runway fabulous on a brunette, while a little blue liner on a top lid adds a gorgeous splash of color without being overbearing. Check out the looks from runways and celebrities to get a few new ideas on how to wear this pretty new trend.
