Smokey aqua eyeshadow.

A blend of aqua and green washes over the lids like cool ocean waves. For a hazy seaside look that’s punctuated by a hint of buried treasure, a dot of gold pigment at the inner eye completes the look. Pair with peachy lips and wet-look hair if you really want to heed the Siren’s call.
