Are you ready for another round of bold, bright colors on the eyes for spring? Well if you answered yes, then get ready for some gutsy ’80s looks that will be screaming the fabulous Studio 54, and have you digging out that disco ball you packed away ages ago. Winged eyeliner in electric blues, and gorgeous smoky eyes in eye popping lavenders.

“For an evening look, be brave and don’t be afraid to play with color,” says Beth Bender our favorite makeup guru. “It’s all about having fun with your makeup.” And if the looks you see from the runway are too bold for your style of makeup, don’t worry, there are equally stylish, more subtle alternatives.

“You can do a classic smoky eye and add a little blue at the center of the lid, or extend out for a more dramatic look as seen in the top photo. Or you can do  just a touch of color by doing a wet blue dot on the inner corner of the eye”. “You can also blend a blue eye shadow with a taupe shadow and add some blue eye liner at the outer edges.” says Bender.

Using an Eyeliner Stencil is a great way to achieve either a Cat Eye or Smoky Eye with ease, and creating lots of different styles as well, like a winged-smoky eye and sexy cat eyes just like Angelina Jolie.

Jenna Elfman gives her smoky eyes a whole new twist with her Lavender eye shadow for the new year. Seen here at The Late Show with David Letterman in NYC. She is beaming from head to toe with another baby on the way, and a radiant glow that is contagious.

For colors in pastels you can almost apply them up to your browbone as seen here on Jenna. “I like to use my fingers to apply the first layer, especially if it is a shimmer, and then go back and blend with a brush” say beth. It looks like Jenna is wearing the TDF Eyeshadow Trio from Get in Line which she picked up at a recent event in Los Angeles. The kit includes a lavender shimmer, pale pink shimmer, and deep purple, so you can mix together or wear them separately.
