The light blue eye shadow in the movies From cult indie "Buffalo '66" to David Lynch's iconic "Blue Velvet"
Light blue eyeshadow, in all its nuances, from the most ethereal to deep blue, has a long history. The first to wear it regularly were the men and women of ancient Egypt. As Elisabeth Taylor also teaches in the kolossal Cleopatra. When Barbie made her debut in 1959, she sported an ice version, a shade similar to the one used shortly after by the hippies of the sixties. From being the ultimate symbol of expression and freedom, it became a real must-have in the '90s and early 2000s, chosen by iconic rock stars like PJ Harvey, but also by pop stars like Christina Aguilera and it-girls like Carrie Bradshaw. Today it's a sort of make-up statement used to give a stronger twist to your look, as celebrities and influencers teach us. From Kim Kardashian to Dua Lipa, from the Hadid sisters to Emrata, everyone has chosen this bold shade of eyeshadow at least once. Even the cast of Euphoria, famous for the coolness of its beauty, has graced the scene by declining it in different versions, decorating it with small stones, choosing metallic or glittery, finishing it off with a dramatic cat eye or with graphic lines. Nowadays in 2022 the Washed Denim make-up trend brings Y2K style to eye make-up too, giving hints to recreate a lived-jeans effect on the lids playing with blue and white shades to created a washed, Diesel denim-like look.
Ok, Samantha can do magic just by moving her nose, but the real wow effect of this sitcom comes from Endora, her multicolored outfits and, above all, her make-up. Her secrets? A bit of blush to accentuate the cheekbones, a graphic cat eye and a vibrant blue eye shadow smeared all over the eyelid, as explained by @perrinebeautyaddict in a TikTok video.
