Eye Shadow
First, apply a base primer. Then, with a wet brush, apply M.A.C. Eye Shadow, $16, in Atlantic Blue. Use a nude eyeshadow as a base. Lightly apply the blue on the bottom lash line and on the top eyelid. Extend it out to mimic a cat eye. This look is perfect for dancing. A look better for the daytime would be with ethereal light blue eyeshadow. Try NYX Cosmetics Prismatic Shadow, $6, in Blue Jeans. Cover the top lid and wear a coat of black mascara. It's a fashionable throwback that looks perfect while shopping or eating with friends.

Blue Mascara
Dare to wear blue makeup? Try replacing your classic black mascara with dark blue eyelashes. The eyes of your whites look whiter with blue mascara. Apply L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Original Mascara, $7.29, in Cobalt Blue. Use the mascara on the top and bottom lashes. Apply a nude eye shadow to really make the effect pop. The eye-catching shade brightens up eyes of any color. For a more subtle blue makeup look, apply mascara only on the tips of the outer lashes and pair with eyeliner. Make a natural-looking lash line to really emphasize your blue eyelashes.

Blue eyeliner
Do a spin on the classic cat eye look by using navy liquid eyeliner. Try to line it thick or thin depending on your taste with Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner Liquid Eyeliner, $23. Navy matches every skin tone and eye color. Do you want a lighter blue but still want to rock the cat eye look? Use a classic black eyeliner and then paint over it with a light metallic shade, such as NYX Studio Liquid Liner, $4.50, in Extreme Blue. For a daytime look, line your waterline with a CoverGirl Liquiline Blast Eyeliner, $7.99. Balance the bright hue by lining the upper lids in a darker color. Complete the look with mascara.

Glitter
Glitter blue makeup can be the right touch that upgrades your look to rock star levels. Sparkling eyes catch the light and bring pretty shimmer to your face. A good buy is BH Cosmetics Glitter Collection, $5.99, in Sapphire. First apply a sticky primer as a base. Try mixing the glitter with water on a brush. Lightly dab on the inner corners, outer corners, and on the brow bone. For a more intense pop of color use Revlon PhotoReady Eye Art Lid + Line + Lash, $8.99, in Cobalt Crystal. It comes complete with a complementary shadow and glitter that makes over the top sparkle easy to do.
