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!

If you're not into bold looks but still digs a little hint of experimental makeup, blue mascara might just be your newest best friend on Independence Day. Start with a simple smokey blue eyeshadow on your eyelids and lower lash line. Then, pack a blue mascara (like Tom Ford Lash And Brow Tint, $40) on your eyelashes.

Remember when Selena Gomez wore sunset-inspired eyeshadow at the Met Gala (and we all fell in love)? Try something similar using the Huda Beauty Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette in Ruby, $27. Apply it on your eyelids and lower lash line, then lightly pack it on your cheekbones to create a subtle gradient.

Channel an American eagle with this fierce red eyeliner look. Using a high-impact burgundy red (such as NYX Strictly Vinyl Eyeliner in Hazy, $6.49), extend your usual cat eyeliner to your inner corner. Then, trace your lower lash line for extra drama.

For a fiercer look, incorporate some black shades to your makeup. Start with a red eyeliner on your upper lid and finish with some smudgy black (we recommend Charlotte Tilbury Rock 'N' Kohl Eyeliner Pencil in Bedroom Black, $27) on your lower lash line.
