HOW TO WEAR IT “Absolutely everyone can look good in blue shadow,” says makeup artist Gabriel Almodovar of Spa Connections. “If you have light eyes, stay with lighter colors like sky and pale blue. The deeper your eye-color, the deeper the blue can be.” If you just want to sample the trend in a subtle way, try navy eyeliner-wear it the same way you would black or brown liner.
PRODUCT TO TRY This creamy stick from Mark simply glides on, adding maximum punch with minimal effort. Try it over a neutral shadow shade and navy or black liner for a multi-layered effect.

HOW TO WEAR IT “Try blues with a beige lip-it’s so chic and modern,” says Victoria’s Secret makeup artist Linda Hay. “Use blues as you would your favorite grays-they can perform as a neutral for a pretty day look or a sexy smoky eye after 5 p.m.” Finish off blue looks with heavy black mascara to really define the look.

HOW TO WEAR IT "Blue eyeliner on the bottom lash line is a fresh and fun way to enliven your face," says celebrity makeup artist Amy Nadine. “Take a metallic powder eye shadow and apply it wet with an eyeliner brush, starting thin on the inside corners and expanding the width gradually as you drag the brush to the outside corner.” For more intensity, re-wet the brush, dip in the shadow and go back over the line.
PRODUCT TO TRY For a pale flush of blue, apply a shade like this from Nars with your finger, swiping it across the lid. Amp up the pigment by wetting a brush and dipping that in the shadow.

HOW TO WEAR IT “If a stain is pure liquid, you can put it on with a cotton swab, dabbing it on the mouth,” says makeup artist Gabriel Almodovar. “If the stain is cream-based, put it on like a creamy gloss and when the gloss wears off you have the remnants of the stain left behind.”
PRODUCT TO TRY “If you want to achieve a very natural look, just dab the stain on with your finger onto wet lips,” says makeup artist Sammy Mourabit, who is a fan of inexpensive brands when it comes to lip stains. At less than $10, this AE one fits the bill.

HOW TO WEAR IT The first step for a bun like Natalie’s is unclean hair. “A little dirt never hurt anyone,” says stylist Alina Ratta of L.A.’s Jim Wayne salon. “A little back-combing goes a long way too.” Both create texture in the hair that help to secure the bun. Natalie’s modern side bun should be created as a regular bun would be, but pulled slightly off-center. The hair should be parted on top instead of slicked back.
PRODUCT TO TRY An alternative to unwashed hair is Bumble amp Bumble surf spray. “Applying it to dry hair gives great texture and you can avoid the helmet hair look,” says Ratta.

HOW TO WEAR IT Glowing skin is no longer for summertime only, and it all starts with skincare, says makeup artist Gabriel Almodovar. To maximize your skin’s glow, exfoliate twice a week, tone the skin, use eye cream and always moisturize. These steps will ensure a bright canvas that you can then accentuate with primers, moisturizers, blushes and other shimmery products.
PRODUCT TO TRY Lauren’s makeup artist, Amy Nadine, recommends a shimmering primer in lieu of foundation. “It gives everyone a gorgeous radiance while keeping the face fresh.”

PRODUCT TO TRY Use the shimmery shades in this compact from Napoleon Perdis to highlight the cheeks with the swipe of your finger. A frosty pink applied with the pinky in a C-shape from the end of the eyebrow to the top of the cheekbone captures light beautifully.
