Trend Alert: Aqua-Inspired Eye Color

Looks like this summer, some celebs only have eyes for the beach. Stars like Beyonce and Marley Shelton have been stepping out with daring aqua-colored eye makeup, adding a refreshing splash of color to a beauty world overwrought with the traditional smoky eye.

Teal, turquoise and jade colored liners, like Clarins Kohl Powder Eye Liner in green lagoon ($18.50 @ Nordstrom) and M·A·C Liquidlast Liner in aqualine ($16.50 @ Nordstrom), are easy to apply and make eyes pop.

For a more dramatic effect, add a shimmery shadow like Dior’s creamy, creaseless shadow in greeny Pop Aquadelic ($30 @ Sephora) or CARGO’s Eye Shadow Palette in beach-themed Egypt ($28 @ Sephora). When picking shadow shades, take your inspiration from tropical beach scenes, keeping sparkling blue waters and lush green foliage in mind.
