Makeup tutorial! (sort of) Blue Edition

Forgive my horrid picture quality. I made use of my lousy phone camera. It took me a minute to figure out how and what to do a makeup tutorial on. So I decided blue eyeshadow. Or how to incorporate blueinto your look. Some may be too shy to wear just bright blue eyeshadow and this is a great way to have a pop of color along with basic black eyeshadow. I use the same technique with other colors like purple or green.

1. Use an eyeshadow pencil (or eye liner to cover your entire lid...not the crease!) I am using L.A Colors Jumbo Eye Pencil in Sunglasses

2. Use a plain black eyeshadow and go over the liner. (This will help the shadow stick and prevent fall out.) With the black move to your crease and blend the black into your crease. I am using a black in the Wet N Wild Blue had me at hello pallete.

3. Use the same black eyeshadow to line your eye. Go only half way to avoid a racoon look.

4. Use a shimmery blue and go over the black you put in your crease. This will give the color depth and a smokey feel. The blue I am using is in the Wet N Wild Blue had me at hello pallete.

5. Use a q-tip to clean up smudges and fall out. I use eye shadow remover on the q-tip. I use Mary Kay oil free eye shadow remover.

6. Use your favorite mascera only on your top lashes. Also use your favorite eye liner to only line the bottom half way. The mascera I used is Wet N Wild Mega Protein mascera. The liner I use is Maybelline expert wear liner in very black.

7. I like to draw either one or three dots with liquid eye liner on the side of one eye. I used Color Mates liquid eyeliner in navy blue.



:Tips!:

I always use an eye primer to make my shadow last all day. I put my foundation on first before my eyeshadow. If I make a mistake I usually use makeup remover or use a trasculcent powder and a kabuki brush to wipe away fall out.

So honesty time...was this a decent tutorial? Should I do more?
