All eyes have been on the Cannes Film Festival for the past week with celebrities rocking some seriously sensational looks.
Yesterday it was Kelly Rowland's turn to captivate the cameras. The singer attended the amfAR Gala in Cannes wearing a breathtaking lime green Gaurav Gupta ensemble paired with a bleach-blonde bob and bold blue eyeshadow - sound weird? She totally pulled it off.

The pairing of a lime green dress and cobalt eyeshadow sounds like it shouldn't work but Kelly proves that the blue eyeshadow trend is here to stay and colour-blocking isn't just for fashion, your makeup can also be included.
Although blue eyeshadow often conjures up painful memories of the pale blue frosted lids we all swore looked good in the late-90s, the blue eyeshadow trend for 2024 is actually far more wearable and more likened to the bolder swinging 60s style look.
"60s style bold blues are officially back for 2024," explains Face The Future's resident makeup artist, Rachael Divers. "The best part is that this colour looks great on all skin tones and eye colours as blue eye makeup makes the whites of your eyes look even brighter, regardless of your iris colour."

If you're looking to recreate Kelly's bold look but you're struggling to get the same colour pay-off, try prepping the eyelid with a white eyeshadow stick. This will create a blank canvas to allow for the pigment to show up and keep it in place without falling out on to your cheeks.
