No one recreates modern versions of glamorous midcentury beauty looks quite like Lily Collins and this French New Wave-esque deployment of pastel blue eyeshadow is truly one for the books. Make Up For Ever Artist Color Eye Shadow in I-210, $17, has a similar icy blue finish if you're looking to go for the Anna Karina look yourself.

Is there a color Lupita Nyong'o isn't wearing in this colorful eyeshadow look from the Met Gala? You're going to need pretty much every color of the rainbow to recreate this and the BH Cosmetics Aurora Lights - 18 Color Baked Eyeshadow Palette, $18, is a good place to start.

Who knew a solid swatch of bright yellow eyeshadow could look so simple and mod? To copy this look yourself, look for a true yellow with a matte, full-coverage finish, such as L'Oreal Infallible Paints Eyeshadow in Jet Set Blond, $4.49.

Have you ever seen a more arresting shade of shimmery blue? Makeup artist Emily Cheng created the look using the Blue Blitz shade from the Pat McGrath Labs Mothership I: Subliminal Palette, $125.

Colorful eye makeup looks can be simple, too — sometimes all it takes is a swipe of a shimmery green pencil, like NYX Cosmetics Slide On Eye Pencil in Tropical Green, $7.99 — especially if you pair it with oversized jade hoops.
