Forget kohl-rimmed eyes and smoked out contour: this season s coolest makeup trend is a refreshing wash of airy pastel shadow. And just months after Pat McGrath sent models down the Valentino Fall 2019 runway with soft lilac and coral-painted lids, beauty risk taker Katy Perry is the latest to test drive the cool-girl spring beauty staple.

Following in the footsteps of Gigi Hadid and Lady Gaga, who both recently took the candy-colored red carpet statement for a spin, Perry opted for a striking shade of sky blue that seems to have been applied with a fluffy brush and blended up into the brow bone. Paired with a neon tangerine Staud jumpsuit and textured platinum waves, the pop star stepped out for a date night at Madeo in Los Angeles with her fiancé Orlando Bloom.

While a bright cherry pout can be the ultimate way to start a sunny new season off on the right foot, let Perry s lids serve as proof that pastels are here to stay.
