Millie Bobby Brown's Blue Eyeshadow Is the Perfect Homecoming Makeup
From the first time we saw Millie Bobby Brown looking fierce in a shaved hairstyle, she solidified her spot on our list of beauty inspirations and her latest look — complete with a poppy eyeshadow shade that might at first seem intimidating — further proves why.
The Stranger Things star walked the red carpet at a screening for the show's second season last week rocking metallic blue eyeshadow and a glossy pink lip, care of longtime makeup artist Gianpaolo Ceciliato. The high-impact pigment of the intense jewel tone packs a serious punch — especially when paired with such highly defined upper and lower eyelashes. By using such a light lip shade and minimal makeup on the rest of her face, Millie's longtime makeup artist Gianpaolo Ceciliato created a perfect hi/low balance that's simply begging to be copied for homecoming. Plus, the subtle waves in Millie's chin-skimming bob have us seriously considering taking our curling irons out of hibernation.
To get the look for yourself, start by priming your lids with an eyeshadow primer, like Urban Decay Original Eyeshadow Primer Potion, to ensure the shadow stays in place and maintains its pigment for the long haul. Dust it along your crease until you hit your brown bone, and draw it out until it hits a subtle point toward along the outer corner of your eye. Apply navy eyeliner to your lash line, like Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner Pencil in Sapphire, then finish the look with some volumizing mascara, like Covergirl Lash Blast.
Et voila — you're ready to take on a red carpet, your homecoming photos, or even the Upside Down.
