The Eyeshadow Color Cool Girls Are Loving Right Now

    Three of our fave trendsetters have given sea-foam green eyeshadow the cool girl stamp of approval.

    Rihanna, Sofia Richie, and Yara Shahidi all recently dressed up their eyelids in cool blue-mint green hues with a touch of shimmer. The result is absolutely striking, as the aquatic-esque colors really brighten up their eyes and make their lashes appear darker and longer.

    While this celebrity beauty trend may look similar to the mermaid eye makeup you’ve seen take over Instagram, RiRi’s, Sofia’s, and Yara’s takes are much softer and more wearable.

    Keep reading to see how these three stars wear sea-foam green eyeshadow, and how to re-create the look yourself with a few affordable makeup products.
