The Blues?







The theme today was blue...what can I say? I like my clothes and makeup to match *shrugs*



I originally recordered the video but in some parts you couldn't see what I was doing (my mirror was too far away from me). I thought I'd post a few pictures to show you the look nonetheless. Here goes:
I used a matte white colour to begin with (Sugarpill Cosmetics Tokko), then applied a lighter blue colour approximately onto the middle section of the eyelid (Sugarpill Cosmetics Afterparty). I then used a blue loose eyeshadow, similar in shade but darker, next to the Afterparty blue and applied than next to the previous colour (Barry M Fine Glitter Dust Denim). I then used a dark blue (feel free to use a blue eyeshadow with purple undertones, I used Barry M Dazzle Dust in Midnight) and blended onto the outer corner of my eye as well as to the crease area. I blended the edges to soften them, giving the smoky eye effect.
Leaving eyeshadows for the time being, I moved onto eyeliner. I lined my upper lid with a liquid eyeliner (MaxFactor Masterpiece Glide and Define) in black. I then went back to my Barry M Midnight colour and dipped some of the product onto a pencil brushed. I then underliner my lower lash line in the dark blue colour. After completing that step, I outlined my waterline with a black kohl pencil (Sleek Twist Up Pencil in Midnight 133). Finally on ze eyes I used Rimmel's Max Volume Flash Mascara in Black to make ze eye POP.
The rest of my face remained looking neutral. I used Victoria Jackson's bronzer in Terra Glow on my cheeks and on my lips I use NYX Megashine Lipgloss in Miami Babe, the colour looks like a purple kind of nude against my complexion.
I hope you like it :D
