MAKEUP TUTORIAL - EVERYDAY BLUE AND GRAY

It has been so long since my last makeup post — time to do something about it.

Today's tutorial is an easy everyday blue and gray. 

Blue eyeshadow does not normally produce a subtle look. However, when it has been toned down with an earthy color like gray, you can certainly wear it during the day.

Don't believe me? Follow the steps below, and try it out yourself.

Step 1

Using a shadow brush, mix blue and gray eye shadows together.


Step 2

Apply the mixed color to your lids, but only below the crease lines.


Step 3

Rim top and bottom lash lines with a pencil eyeliner.


Step 4

Smudge top liner with a sponge to create a smokey effect


Step 5

Using a blending brush, apply a highlighter to all surface of the lids.
Make sure the highlighter goes over, and blends with, the blue shadow you already applied.



Step 6

Curl lashes and apply mascara


DONE!!

See? Blue and gray do make perfect wear for day.
