Unless you are a young girl who got it free with her Lelli Kellies? Honestly I think it looks good on noone yet seems to be hideously popular!

one of my friend wears it a lot she looks amazing she also wears bright light green, and even yellow.

wear what makes you happy, and don't waste time caring what other people think, waste of energy.

Aw no, what would my mum wear? She's worn blue for years.

I agree those pics are lovely but I have never met anyone who's used it quite so creatively Wink

Pearlescent baby blue eyeshadow up to the eyebrows is a bit wrong though, especially when accompamied by pearly pale pink lipstick and stripes of dark pink rouge. So not a good look on me and my friends at the age of 12 Blush

Poor MIL. She's not hurting anyone with her strange light blue lids.

My old headmistress used to wear loads of thick pale blue eyeshadow. Was bloody horrible. But then so was she.

It's not the colour that's the problem though, it's the application. It can look good, but bold colours need to be done much more carefully than neutral ones.

mrspremise I too was guilty of such crimes to make up when I was a young teen - which is why I think it should be eradicated hahaha

Yabu, you probably are not applying it properly. It's a really stunning color !
