Blue eyes

 

Seen on the runway a lot.. A new rage for summer:

striking colored eyeliner/eyeshadow, especially blue,

combined with nude lips.

The pictures I saw from the runway with this trend were stunning,

I just had to try it at home.

At first I was afraid it would be too much,

but you can choose how hard you want it to be.

It also was the first time I was going to use this nude color in lipstick.

To be really honest, this is actually one of the first times I try out a make up trend.

For regular days I just apply some concealer
where it's needed and powder for a little bit more color.
For my eyes: mascara and sometimes black eyeliner.

Even when I go out, I almost never use eyeshadow or something special..

The only thing "extra" about my make up when I go out is my lipstick.

But now that I'm blogging, I also wear lipstick more during the day

and ofcourse I want to try out some trends and share my experiences.

What I do know is, that when you use the right eyeliner
it can accentuate your eyes really beautifully.
 

Basic tips I found for this blue color on your eyes were:

- Don't mix with soft colors

  (white is not a color! you can definitely use white
as eyeliner IN your eye with blue eyeshadow (see example)
or on the inside of your eye fading to blue on the outside)

- Try to make your eyes pop!
- For a daily look:

go for a deeper tone of blue and use thinner lines

  Drama look/going out:

brighter color and bigger lines

 

 

 

 

 

My try-out:

 

 

 

Ofcourse, me as a newbie in make up,

I had to go buy some products.

I chose for:

Lipstick: Rimmel Londen, Lasting finish by Kate Moss, nr.03

Eyeshadow: Maybelline New York, Color Tattoo 24hr, nr. 20

Eyeliner: Gosh, velvet touch eyeliner, nr. 001 (blue moon)

I didn't take pictures of how I did it,

because I really just used a little brush to apply the eyeshadow under my eyes

+ used the eyeliner 'in' my eye... No special techniques or something..

 

 

 

 

My opinion: I think it looks really well if you wear the right clothes to match.

I don't think I would go to school with this amount of blue under my eyes,

but for going out I would definitely consider using it again.
As I said, for a daily basis I would use a thinner line,
or a line on my eyelid instead of under my eye.

 

 

 

 

Let me know what you think!
