Makeup Monday: Bold. Beautiful. Blue

Makeup Monday: Bold. Beautiful. Blue

Monday blues is a common phrase most of us know so well and it’s usually synonymous with dread and disappointment. But what if we could flip the script and make Mondays something to look forward to? We all know how good it feels when we take the time to take care of ourselves, whether it’s indulging in a massage or getting ready for the day with some makeup magic. Today, we’re embracing the colors of Monday and transform that dreaded blues mood into something bold and beautiful.

Blue has always been one of the most versatile colors in the world of makeup. With blue, you can create a wide variety of looks and express yourself in infinite creative ways, leaving your end result as unique as you are. It's a brilliant shade to get creative with, as it can be applied delicately or boldly depending on the feel you want to go for. Whether you're looking for something subtle yet statement-making, or just a full-on color takeover, you can count on this bold hue to make things exciting.

For a soft but standout look, start by prepping your skin with a lightweight primer and foundation. Then apply a light dusting of baby blue eye shadows all over the lid and blend. To create an interesting contrast, tightline the eyes with a dark navy eyeliner and apply a few coats of mascara. Finish off the look with a hint of bronzer to add dimension and a pop of berry lip color for a timeless and elegant vibe.

If you’re feeling extra daring, you can amp up the blue hues with a more electric vibe. Start by taking a cobalt blue eyeshadow and layer it over your entire lid. To add some drama, you can use two different shades of blue and blend them together to create an ombre effect. Next, line the top lash line and lower waterline with a deep navy eyeliner. For a truly eye-catching look, finish things up with some false lashes and a smudgy kohl liner to add intensity. A nude or pink lip color will keep the spotlight on the eyes.

If you're feeling adventurous, you can also experiment with blue on other parts of the face. For a cool monochromatic look, you can apply an azure cream eyeshadow on the lids and around the crease area. Then take a mineral blush in a pale sky blue shade and apply it along the cheekbones. Top it off with a soft pink lipgloss for a subtle and sophisticated finish.

No matter how you choose to rock blue makeup, it’s always a great way to make a statement. Whether you're looking for something daring or just adding a touch of subtle color, blue is always a reliable option to brighten up a blah Monday. So don’t let the Monday blues get you down, let it be your source of inspiration for a bold and beautiful look!
