For some strange reason, this week has been "try something outragous" week. I'm not used to wearing deep, dark eye shadows and I guess, this is partly due to the fact that I would like to make this blog more interesting with dramatic and challenging looks.
This one in particular is no exception! I had dancing one night this week and wanted to test out the pretty blues I have from my coastal scents 88 matte palette. I didn't want this look to be a matte look, however, so I applied some shimmer on top! Layering eye shadow makes the colour really stand out.
Here are the colours I used...
And...this is how it turned out!!
The steps I used to create this look...
1. Apply your base/primer. I used Mac paint pot in "Painterly". The colour of this paint pot does not affect the colours when you're applying them...thankfully!
2. Pick a light blue colour and apply this all over the lid. (I only do this because I'm lazy and can't be bothered being precise. This won't change the darker colours that will be applied later on)
3. Pick a darker blue shade and apply this on the centre of your lids.
4. Pick the darkest blue in your collection (avoid navy blue's though!) and apply this on the outer corner. I like to flick the brush towards my nose, rather than outwards, towards my hair. I avoid fall outs this way.
5. Blend all colours together.
6. Apply your highlight colour to your brow bone and near the tear duct. Silver or white will work well. I used white.
7. Using the white/silver colour, line the inner part of the lower lash line, then continue along the eye with each blue colour, depending where you placed them on your eye.
8. This step is optional. Apply a shimmery blue and darker blue on the inner and outer corner of the eye, respectively. Blend these colours together.
9. Line your upper lash line and water line with black eye liner. If you want this look to be less dramatic then line your waterline with white eyeliner instead or skip this step.
10. Apply mascara and you're done!
If anyone is curious, I do not have natural wavy hair (I wish!) It took about 15 minutes to do with a straightener. If anyone is interested to find out how I did it, let me know and I can do a tutorial. :)
Thanks for reading and hope you all have a lovely day. :)
More to come so stay tuned!
