Make Up Tutorial: Blue Baby

When I was conceptualizing this blog, I really didn’t know what I could offer. I mean... I just started getting into makeup, I was not exceptionally good at it, and I didn’t have anything but the basics.

Lots of ideas would pop in my head but when I do try it, it wouldn’t look as I had pictured it. One fortunate day, I saw my mom use her newly bought turquoise eyeliner under a black liquid one. So basically, that’s where I got inspiration for this look. I tried it, perked it up a little and ended up with this bright luminous look. It's really easy!

(Picture heavy post)

Here’s how to do it.

1. Apply bb cream as base, then eye gel/cream around eyes and on lids. Subsequently, apply powder foundation all over the face, concealer on problem areas and set it with loose powder.

2. Brush on light flesh(or white) eyeshadow all over lids and on brow bones.

3. Brush on sky blue eyeshadow all over lids, over the flesh(white) color, and extend it into a wing.

4. Slide turquoise eyeliner pencil just nearing the lash line all across the lids. Smudge a little to blend. Dust off bronze eyeshadow lightly on the area between the brow bone and eyelids. (Not visible in the pictures but this adds shine and sparkle)

5. Apply black liquid liner and cover spaces in between. Wing it out if desired.

6.  Line lower lash line with black eyeliner pencil three-fourths across. Line remaining lash line with green pencil eyeliner (the shade I used was also turquoise but belongs to a different brand and is lighter and less visible than the one used in the lids). Brighten eyes by dusting off flesh(white) eyeshadow on the inner corner of the eyes.

7. Curl lashes and finish off with mascara.

8. Apply blush and lipstick of choice. Easy right? :)
