Whats your thoughts on blue eyeshadow?
Are you thinking "it's dated" or "it's a Pat Butcher look" then you may be converted.
Blue eyeshadow looks incredible on brown eyes as it compliments the colour as well as being an opposite which brings them out.
I re-created a favourite look of mine which is Eve's make-up from the tambourine video. It looks absolutely amazing on her deep golden skin and dark eyes.
M.A.C created the looks for her, each as stunning as the other.
The colours they used for this creation were Electric Eel, Bang on Blue and Saddle eyeshadows.
What I used
M.A.C Fresh water, Kid and Naked Lunch e.s
Too faced blue primer
Avon black eye Kohl
M.A.C no 8 lashes
M.A.C prrr lipgloss
Myface Mocha choca latta blush
How to
- Prime the lid with the Too faced primer
- Apply freshwater to the enter lid and lower lashline
- Apply naked luch as highlight to the brow bone
- Gently warm the crease with a flesh colour shadow is used kid
- Run black khol along the waterline and upper lashline
- Add lashes and mascara
Tip#
Keep blue eyeshadow looking modern by complimenting with fresh dewy skin and soft neutral lips.
M.A.C also did this look for Peter Jensen
You can use other blues but choose ones on the bright side rather than muted powder blues. Here's a couple of alternatives.
On the left I have shown other blues that are similar to Fresh water. Try Barry M in 22 or Medusa make-up blue pigment.
This is a perfect trendy evening look.
What do you think?
can I post you one my looks? I used blue and I'm quite satisfied by the result :)
ReplyDeleteBlue eyeshadow is great! Can't wear it every day, but in my opinion it looks mysterious!

I think blue can be performed in 2 ways. 1- A bright retro blue,(like you, looks gorgeous btw) 2- Or a light but cold blue for a natural look. ♥

I honestly think your colouring looks stunning with blue. As a redhead though, I look atrocious with any blue near my eyes :(.

LOVE this, I have a blue sparkly MyFace eyeshadow but I've always been to scared to use it =0/ x
ReplyDeleteaww I love Eve.
ReplyDeleteBlue eyeshadow scares me! Someone told me that I'm "already too colorful" because I have red hair and green eyes, and adding blue to the mix would be a bit too much. But I was told that by my friend when I was 15, so out combined make up knowledge was admittedly scarce.
If I do blue, it needs to be a dark grey blue or bordering on violet.
Ahh... I love make up. It's color theory I can put on my face!

p.s I recreated a Lady Gaga look you did, and it's up on my blog if you'd like to see :)
love blues but stopped wearing them because they always looked too old. I love the way it looks with the brown. i think i will give this a try this week
ReplyDeleteI think blue is one of the easiest colors to go wrong with but you've done a great job at making it very wearable and pretty :)
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely Carly. Prrr was my first ever lipglass by MAC, its definately a keeper! xx
ReplyDeleteI love blue eyeshadows, pigments and mascaras. They make my brown eyes stand out so much!
