Behind Blue Eyes: A Tutorial

Hello everyone and welcome to another tutorial! Today I'm playing around with bright blue eyeliner and shadow and I absolutely love how vibrant and fun this look is. This look isn't one I'd sport on a casual day, but for those of you who are daring and love colour, this is for you!

PRODUCTS I USED:

From top: Nicka K Cosmetics  Eye Pencil A06 Blue Glow, Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner, Revlon ColorStay Gel Eyeliner in Black

Maybelline NY Eye Studio (limited edition) Striking Blue #600

LETS GET STARTED:

Before you begin it's important to prep your eyes

1. Add some concealer to the entire lid, up to the brows and under your eyes. (My eyelids tend to be slightly darker and this helps to brighten them up as well as conceal under eye dark circles.) You may skip this step if it is unnecessary for you.
2. The area around my eye is fully concealed and brightened.
3. Apply an eye shadow primer to your lid.
4. With your finger or brush, apply a light eye shadow (choose a colour that's near to your skintone) to your entire lid.

1. With your blue eyeliner, begin to line your eyes, creating a flick/wing at the end. You may make the wing as subtle or dramatic as you want.
2. Then, using a shimmery blue eye shadow, apply that on top of the eyeliner, making sure to keep true to the shape. (This is basically to intensify the look since the liner is not greatly pigmented) 
3. Once you are satisfied with your line and wing you are finished with the blue
4. With some black gel liner and an angled brush, make another line on top of the blue keeping both lines equal in width. (If you don't have gel liner you may use a liquid or pencil liner and adjust the technique to achieve the desired look)
5. With a pencil brush, press some black eye shadow on top of the black eyeliner to deepen and intensify the colour.
6. That's it for liner and shadow!

You may finish the look by just applying mascara to your top lashes as seen below.

For a little more depth and detail, line your waterline with black eyeliner, brighten your tear duct area and highlight your brow bone with a shimmery white shadow and apply mascara to your bottom lashes and you're all done!

That's it for my tutorial! I really hope you enjoyed this and was able to learn a few things. Be sure to let me know how you liked this look and possibly something you'd do differently or even add to it. I had so much fun making this tutorial and definitely look out for more to come!

Many thanks and heartfelt appreciation to everyone!
