I'm Feelin' Blue

Again??? Yup, again. I used to hate blue (always preferring green for eye makeup), but I wanted to use my blue shadows that have not been receiving enough love from me lately. Here is how I did them (all products MAC unless otherwise specified):


Apply Beige-ing shadestick on lid, brows and lower lashline as base. Apply Rollickin' paint pot on lid (don't worry if finish is uneven, it will be rectified later on).


Here is a picture encompassing three steps. Using a shader brush, apply Aromaleigh Pure Hue eyeshadow in Heaven foiled on entire lid, then apply Shu Uemura eyeshadow in ME Blue 638 on mid to outer lid. Foil Aromaleigh Rocks! Sonics eyeshadow in Moonaged Daydream on outer V.


Another shot


How it looks unblended.


Using 222 brush, apply Knight Divine shadow on crease and outer V. Blend with the other colors.


Apply Cloudbound eyeshadow on inner corners, and under brow to highlight. Blend with crease color. Line with Blacktrack fluidline, tightline and waterline using Graphblack technokohl. Apply mascara, Moonaged Daydream on outer lower lashline, and Heaven on inner lower lashline.




I know, I look sick here, that's because I was. I was feeling a bit under the (hot, scorching) weather, and it also explains in part why I used that title for this entry. I used Cory mineral blush in Spiced Plum. OMG, can you say pigmented??? Just a little (like a crumb or two) looked like pigment exploded on my face. I forgot how pigmented (and very economical) Cory blushes are, so I will use a lighter hand next time. To tone it down, I used MAC mineralize skinfinish in Lightscapade. I used Masque lipstick with Spring Bean lustreglass on top.
