The news is out: Pantone's color of the year for 2020 is a calming, elegant hue called Classic Blue. As always, we're taking this as a sign to rummage through our makeup drawers for everything in the same color family. And while it's not necessarily the easiest color to pull off, we guarantee that it can help you create some fun, IG-worthy looks that'll have you welcoming 2020 in style.
For some ideas, screenshot these classic blue beauty looks from your favorite celebs:
1. Cop Kylie Verzosa's blue smokey eye to your New Year's Eve parties to be an instant headturner. Attach some tape on your lashline to give your eyeshadow that winged shape, and mix both mattes and shimmers for a multi-dimensional look.
2. If blue alone feels too tame for your liking, take cues from KZ Tandingan and top off your cat eye with a golden flick. While you're at it, why not consider a classic blue dye job like hers, too?
3. Swap your black eyeliner out for a blue one to spice up your eye looks in this new decade. This simple cat eye from Maymay Entrata is a great way to start!
4. When just an icy cat eye isn't enough, add a wash of pink eyeshadow on your lids for a stronger pop of color. Finish it up with a nude lip and you're ready for your first 2020 selfie.
5. For a subtler approach, smudge some blue eyeliner on your lower lashline, and if you have one on hand, coat your lower lashes with some blue mascara for a monochrome finish.
6. Blue and peach go absolutely great together. Wear the former on your eyes and the latter on your lips like Gabs Gibbs for a cool two-toned look.
7. To keep your icy shadow from looking dated, opt for a deeper tone with a duochrome finish. It makes for the easiest one-color smokey eye!
8. You can definitely still channel the '90s in the coming year. Just follow Gabbi Garcia's lead and bronze up your eye and keep your pout extra glossy.
