However since I was inspired I decided to do a blue eye makeup look. I don't tend to use blue a lot so this is definitely different to my usual makeup look.
As you can see it is quite bright and out there but since I have heavily hooded eyes when my eyes are open it actually looks less out there.
Anyway if you would like to recreate this look you can follow these steps:
- Apply eye primer all over eyelid up to the brow bone and also under the eyes. This helps the eyeshadow to stick and last longer.
- The main eyeshadow I used for this look was MAC Heavenly Creatures Mineralized eyeshadow in the colour Sky as pictured below. I did not blend the colours from this eyeshadow but applied the 2 blues separately.
- Apply the bright sky blue from the Sky mineralized eyeshadow all over the lid. Since I have hooded eyes, I blended this slightly higher so it is visible when my eyes are open.
- Apply the darker blue colour from the same eyeshadow all over the crease and blend.
- I applied MAC Shimmermoss eyeshadow in the inner third and inner corner of the eyes.
- Under the lower lash line apply the dark blue colour on the outer two thirds and apply MAC Shimmermoss on the inner thirds.
- To highlight the brow bone, I applied Urban Decay Sin eyeshadow from the Naked Palette.
- Make sure that you blend the colours quite well so that it transitions beautifully.
- I applied a thin line of black eyeliner on the upper lash line very closely to the lash. I used Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner.
- Because it's such a colourful dramatic look I decided to use false lashes to enhance my lashes. The lash that I used was Red Cherry lashes #110.

And that's it. For the face I used Lancome Teint Visionnaire Foundation and I used MUA Bronzed perfection bronzer to contour the face. I didn't want to do too much on the face since the eyeshadow is quite dramatic. I also left my lips bare or you could apply a nude lipstick so that the eye is the main attraction.
Hope you like this look :)
