Smokey Blues





Hey everyone! So here is a look I just did the other day.  It is a smokey blue, kind of cut creased eye.  
Here is the list of eye products I used:
  1.  BH Cosmetics 120 color palette.  
    1. Light blue, navy blue, black. vanilla. All matte
  2. Urban decay primer potion.
  3. Loreal Lineur Intense liquid eyeliner in carbon black.
  4. Maybelline's Falsies mascara
  5. Loreal's Voluminous mascara 
  6. Urban Decay's 24/7 eye liner in zero.
I started off priming my lid with UDPP (my favorite primer) all over the eyelid and also under my eyes.  I used a flat eye shadow brush and applied the light blue color all over the lids.  I also applied it to the inner corner of my eye as well.  
I used a pencil eye shadow brush and picked up the navy blue color and applied it to the outter V area and extending it above my crease; tracing where my eye socket is.  With the extended, cut crease part, you want to fade it inwards to achieve a more natural effect.  Blend it out a little bit, but you still want to keep a darker line where the cut crease is.
I used the same pencil brush and picked up the black color and just accentuated the outter V area to give the look more depth and more smokey. 
Next, i took a small eye shadow brush and picked up some of the light blue color and applied this to the inner half of my lower lid.  Then, I took the same brush and picked up the navy blue color and applied it to the outter half of my lower lid. 
I lined my lower water line with the black eye liner.  Include tight lining as well.  Then, I lined my upper lid with the liquid liner and created a cat eye.  
Finally, I curled my lashes and applied a layer of the Volumious mascara and the Falsies mascara on top of that.  (top and bottom lashes).

And your done!! It seems like a lot of steps, but it is pretty easy.  The only difficult part is the cut crease part, but it's not too bad.  I paired this look up with a natural/pink lips.  I used Rimmel's Airy Fairy. 

Let me know what you guys think! =]
