Looks: Purplish blues

Posted by beautifulwithbrains | September 3, 2009 .

Hey all,

I hope everyone is having a very nice day. Last night I did a bright look using blue eyeshadows. I love blues but I don’t play with them enough.. But anyway, here’s what I came up with:

blue purple 01

blue purple 02

blue purple 03

Products used:
- Urban Decay Primer Potion
- Sleek Acid palette (light and dark blues)
- Sleek Original palette (purple)
- Get in Line palette (pale beige)
- Fior di Magnolia Light Blue Set eyeshadow quad (very pale blue)
- L’Oreal Telescopic Explosion mascara

Directions:
Apply Urban Decay Primer Potion all over lid as a base.
Using E.L.F. eyeshadow brush apply a bright light blue shade (I used the one in Sleek Acid palette) on the inner and middle lid.
Apply a bright dark shade of blue (I used the one in Sleek Acid palette) on the outer lid and crease. Blend.
Using a blending brush, apply a purple shade (I used the one in Sleek Original palette) on the outer corner to darken the color.
Swipe a pale beige shade on the browbone to highlight.
Using MAC 219 pencil brush, apply the purple shade you previously used on the lower lashline.
Apply a very pale blue shade (I used the one in Fior Di Magnolia Light Blue Set eyeshadow quad) in the tear duct.
Finish off with mascara.

    Beautiful makeup, it really look gorgeous on you. You just game me some ideas about a makeup review that I have to make. I have to find the perfect makeup idea of blending dark blue and dark green. I’ve never combined this shadows till now. I see that purple and blue are great together so there is hope for green and blue also:)
