    $\begingroup$ In 2.8 it's different now, to preview normals orientation you have to use Overlays menu and enable preview mode there. See blender.stackexchange.com/questions/119408/… $\endgroup$ – Mr Zak Jul 18 '19 at 18:25

An even faster way to quickly check is to check the box that says Face Orientation. It'll color any flipped normals to red from blue. enter image description here
