Thanks to Kim Kardashian, blue is the new black and we're loving it.
Most people would probably say that blue eyeshadow is better left in the 90s, along with crimped hair and body jewellery.
However, the throwback trend is set to make a huge comeback this summer and this time, it's bolder than before.
Don't go digging up your old palettes just yet, as this primary eyeshadow colour has been given a modern twist, so if you don't want to look like the fourth member of Atomic Kitten, its best to leave the frosty shades alone.
Now that Kim Kardashian has launched her new KKW x MARIO eyeshadow palette, all fashionistas are pining for a gorgeous shade of electric blue to brighten up the eyes.

The beauty mogul's homage to the 90s is set to be bang on trend this year after the colour infiltrated catwalks at Autumn/Winter '18 New York Fashion Week in February.
Of course, it takes a very bold person to try blue eyeshadow, but there are ways to slowly introduce it into your look without looking like an extra on the Rocky Horror Show.
Start by using a tiny smudge along the lash line for a subtle colour pop, and then when you're feeling brave you can work your way up to a full smokey eye.
