By Siraad Dirshe · Updated October 24, 2020

With spring right around the corner, there’s no better time than now to incorporate fun pops of color into our makeup routines. Thankfully, this awards season lots of our favorite ladies, including Issa Rae, Laverne Cox and Janelle Monae, rocked bold beautiful blue shadow and liner on the red carpet. 

From turquoise to indigo, blue is a color that truly compliments a wide range of skin tones — particularly on deeper skin tones. A rich swipe of shadow or liner instantly brightens any look.

Keep scrolling for some major spring makeup inspiration.
