Feeling bored with your beauty routine? Millie Bobby Brown has your answer: blue eyeshadow! The Stranger Things star threw it back to the ‘80s in her latest Instagram video, pairing pastel blue shadow with a messy updo for a fun, easy-to-DIY look that may just get you out of a styling rut.
In the short video, Millie tries her hand at the viral TikTok flashlight trend. In the “light” portion of the video, she’s wearing creamy, bright baby blue eyeshadow all over her lids and minimal makeup otherwise, letting the statement shadow be the star of her look. Her hair is pulled up and back in a curly, undone up-style, similar to the ‘90s-inspired updos we’ve been seeing all over TikTok for the past year.
When the video transitions to “night,” Millie is still wearing the same hairstyle and white sweatshirt outfit, but she changes from oversized glasses to sunglasses. It’s short, sweet, and a little silly, which is exactly what we needed to see today.

Millie’s frosty blue eyeshadow is one way to convey a wintry, festive feeling this season. The pale colour was popular in the mod ‘60s and all-glam-all-the-time ‘80s, which means it would be right at home on the Stranger Things set, given its ‘80s setting. Will we see a similar shade on Eleven in season five? You never know!
Of course, you don’t have to wear eyeshadow to get in the holiday spirit! For something more low-key, take a page from Millie’s book. The star recently wore a very cheery PJ set to welcome the season. Then again, you could combine the two for a cosy day at home or gift exchange with friends… and maybe a few TikTok or Instagram Reels videos!
