Pretty Blue Tutorial [VERY Pic Heavy]
This is only my second tutorial, so any constructive feedback is greatly appreciated!

Here's the look we'll end up with.



All you need for this are:

Your choice brand of four e/s colors:
A light blue matte color
A medium blue matte color
A dark blue with some shimmer color
A champagne highlight color with some shimmer
Dark blue eyeliner of your choice
Black eyeliner of your choice
Black mascara












Ok... Getting started. Do your normal face routine: foundation, concealer, etc. You can do your blush now if you prefer (I do).

Start by taking the light blue and applying to the inner corner.




Don't worry about messiness or anything like that right now. I have a trick for that later Now, apply the second, slightly darker blue onto the middle of the eye. Don't put it up too high. What I do is pat the color onto the curvature of my eye (you can feel the roundness of your eyeball, but don't press too hard).




Blend slightly into the lighter color:



Now apply your third blue, the dark one. You're going to want to apply this to the outer V and slightly above the med shade of blue. I have shown it unblended here, so that you can see the placement. As with before, try to use your eye contour to your advantage. I try to balance the sponge or brush on the top of my eyeball, following the shape. IMO, this leads to a more natural shadow.



Now, blended.



Now it's time for clean-up. Take a Q-Tip and rest it gently on your brow bone. Following your bone, apply slight pressure to the head of the Q-Tip to remove any unwanted color.



Now do the same on the bottom, and side, slightly spinning the Q-tip to make a suble sweep of the color, not a horrible line.



After you're done, it should look like this:



Now apply your highlight to the brow bone, and blend. I used a basic make-up sponge to do this.



When finished:



Take your eyeliner and line the outer half of your lashes, flicking upward at the end. Fill in the wing.



Now take an angled eyeliner brush, dab it in the dark blue you used and blend into the eyeliner. Make a line from the center to the inner eye, making it smaller as you go. Adjust wing as desired, and line lower lashes with dark blue from outer to mid eye, then blend in the middle blue to the inner corner (I always drag a Q-Tip over it after I do it to make the line a bit smaller and smudgier)



Add black mascara to upper waterline, blending into the lashes as you go. Add mascara and this is what you'll have










Hope you enjoyed it

The eyeliner is wet and wild, and I used some old colors from a palette, so I couldn't tell you the name of the color. I used both the second and third blues listed up there.

Hope that helps.
