8 Bright Eyeliners That Are Fueling Our Blue Crush

Joan Smalls by Cass Bird

This summer, we’re diving deep into our makeup routine and bringing blue eyeliner to the surface. Spring runways found pale washes of periwinkle clouding lids at Rochas and strips of cornflower blue leather brightening eyes at Fendi, but this season has us reaching for slightly richer shades of azure, reminiscent of Mediterranean seaside escapes and vivid night skies. Editorial makeup artist Mary Greenwell, whose clients include Dakota Johnson and Cate Blanchett, likens the sunny day effect of blue eyeliner to the barely there straps of a slip dress. “There is something very confident and cool about using blue rather than black or dark brown in the summer—it is as if you are inviting the blue sky to be reflected in your makeup.” She recommends pairing the look with a subtle wash of bronzer and a dab of sheer lip balm, allowing the liner to make a vacation-inspired statement all its own. Whether it’s Dior’s evening-ready navy or MAC’s poolside cyan, these eight liners announce warm weather’s arrival with just one swipe.
