Especially during the scorching summer, 'blue makeup' is making a strong comeback, offering a refreshing vibe. According to Google News, blue eyeshadow, which gives off an instantly cool feeling, is being highly recommended as an effective item to 'lower the temperature' (metaphorically, of course!) in summer, gaining immense popularity.
