Blue lid, red lip classic
You can always go classic with blue eyeshadow and red lipstick — after all, pops of color are trending for summer. Pair your favorite bright blue eyeshadow with a full-coverage true red such as Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Fluid Lip Color in Uncensored, $24, to steal the look.

Bold and opaque shadow
Ultra-red lips not quite your thing? Just make your blue eyeshadow extra opaque and bold. A dark, shimmery blue eyeshadow (such as Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Evidence, $20) is perfect for this statement look. We can totally see this getting the spotlight at a Fourth of July party!

Chic in cat eye blue
For a less bold but still festive look, you can do a cat eye cut crease using a blue eyeshadow (we recommend the Bretman x Colourpop Wet Palette, $12). You can use neutral colors on the rest of your face to keep the focus on your eyes — though if you're feeling some sparkles, feel free to add some shimmery highlighter.

Show some artistry
Now, if you're feeling a little extra and want to go the artistic road, don't shy away from using two shades of blue. Pack on the electric blue eyeshadow (like Milk Makeup Eye Pigment in Sesh, $24) in a messy way as the base. On top of it, draw an extended crease liner with a lighter shade of blue. Keep the rest of your face nude to really make your artwork pop.

Play with blue liners
For a minimalist-yet-cute look, skip the eyeshadow and focus on your eyeliner. You can use one blue shade to do your usual eyeliner look or make it more interesting by using two shades (Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner, $22, is a great option). It's a look that will definitely catch second glances!
