Go There Thursdays: Blue Eyeliner
Keri Hilson Go There 1000

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

Formerly the stuff of Dallas Cowgirls and ’80s-era bridesmaids, blue eyeliner is rapidly becoming one of the sexiest trends of the summer!

Don’t be scared of the bold color, ladies — the bright hue dazzles against brown skin. To keep the look modern, choose a metallic shade a’la Keri Hilson’s, and keep the rest of your face relatively bare (think neutral blush and nude lips). So cute, right?

Get the look at home with these cool blue liners: Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil in Deviant ($18, sephora.com), an electric blue; Sephora Glitter Eye Pencil in Marine Electro ($8, sephora,com), a sparkly sea-blue; or Milani Liquif’Eye Metallic Eye Liner Pencil in Aqua ($6.04, drugstore.com), a glittery teal.
