In the very first episode of season 3, Karen Wheeler a.k.a. Mike’s mom, rocks her blue and pink lids while relaxing along the poolside. While this two-toned combination might only be for the brave of heart, you can surely put your own spin to this look by opting for just one colour.

Blue or more specifically electric blue was the most popular shade back in the 80s and guess what? It’s back! Celebs have already started rocking blue lids in public and on the red carpet as well.

Want to get on board with the electric blue trend? Well, all you need is the obvious blue liner and eyeshadow as well as mascara, highlighter, and lip gloss to achieve this look. You could either opt to create a blue shadow around your eyes or wing it with your blueliner just like MyGlamm’s makeup expert Jason Arland.

It wasn’t only about the eyes in the ’80s. Barbie pink lips were another hit that have stayed in vogue since then.

During a public appearance, the actress opted for hot pink lipstick which flawlessly matched with her floral ensemble.
