blue sky fantasies...



since it been so glum and gloomy here in vancouver i was very excited to wake up this morning and see blue sky and feel the warm golden rays of the sun on my face as i drank my earl grey tea by the deck window. it was i was in a dream, a dream where every thing was warm, and bright and fresh and then there were the dream
destroying construction trucks.  ive been really loving blues right now, im not sure if its a trend right now or not but i think blue works with darker tones and i decided to do another tutorial today. its a blue look, that has just a hint of smokeyness in the outer corner making it wearable for any occasion.    




this is a really simple look, the key is making sure that the colors graduate from light at the inner corner to dark at the outer corner.
what you need:
  • primer, a silver shadow, light gold shadow, a light blue and a blue that is one shade darker than the light one, matte brown shadow, pencil liner, liquid liner, mascara, false lashes (ifdesired) 
  1. prime lids up to brow bone and along the upper and lower lash line, 
  2. mix the silver shadow and the light gold shadow and apply that to the inner corner of the eye and along the inner lower lash line.
  3. then apply the lighter blue color to the rest of the lids, working it in to the crease area and avoiding going above. 
  4. next take that same blue but this time apply it with a wet shadow brush, this will give you that bright concentrated blue color. make sure you keep it on the lid and avoid the area where the silver shadow was applied. 
  5. carry that blue color on to the outer lower lash line
  6. apply the darker blue with a dry brush on top of the lighter blue, and blend it well. 
  7. now apply the matte brown to and above the crease area, making sure to blend
  8. once the brown is applied  tap a little bit of black eye shadow to the outer corner, and blend that into the brown. 
  9. next highlight the brow area, line the water liner with the black pencil
  10. apply liquid eyeliner and mascara and your eyes are complete
