Step 1. Line the upper lash line with a deep blue eyeliner. This line does not have to be perfect.

Step 3. Use a bright cobalt blue liner inside the lash line to intensify the look.

Step 4. Add a thick, smudged blue line to the bottom lash line.

Step 5. Apply two coats of your favorite mascara to both the top and bottom lashes.
