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.

I love the green lagoon liner on my lower lash and top lash line. I swear it makes my eyes look whiter and brighter.
I bought a ton of blue and green shadows, and my friend told me they were dorky, and you’re *never* supposed to wear those colors on your eyes! Needless to say, I didn’t listen. And now look! =)
