For the holiday season, draw inspiration from the vibrant smoky-eyes trend with an intense blue eye makeup enhanced by delicate silver accents. To create this festive look, line generously along the upper and lower lash lines with midnight blue kohl pencil. Using a soft brush, pick up matching blue eyeshadow, tap off excess on your hand, then blend over the pencil line, starting at the lashes and fading across the entire mobile eyelid. Repeat underneath, keeping it close to the lash line.

If it overflows, correct with a cotton swab dipped in foundation. Next, sweep silver eyeshadow with a clean brush into the crease of the mobile eyelid, blending up toward the brows. Dab silver shadow with your fingertips at the inner corner of the eye. Line the waterline with kohl, apply midnight blue mascara, add light peach blush to the cheekbones for warmth against the cool tones, and you're set!
What we love: Monochromatic midnight blue extending to the lash tips, paired with silver—a flattering metallic for fair complexions.
