Monochrome Madness- Beautiful Blue

A fun blending technique I like to use for my eye make-up is using one color in varying shades to create a look. It’s dramatic and over the top, but you need not worry about color coordination. For this particular tutorial I’ll be using blue.

What you’ll need:

Eye shadow base/primer (Urban Decay’s Primer Potion)

Periwinkle blue shadow

Navy blue shadow

Turquoise shadow

Baby blue shadow (make sure this is lighter than your periwinkle)

Navy liner

Royal blue liner

Blue mascara (not pictured, d’oh!)

Step 1-

Apply some eye shadow base to your lid only.

Step 2-

Cover your lid with the periwinkle blue.

Step 3-

Apply your base in a thick diagonal stripe starting from the corner of your eye.

Step 4-

Fill the stripe with the navy blue.

Step 5-

Fill in the rest of your area (crease to brow) with base.

Step 6-

Fill it in with the turquoise.

Step 7-

Dab some baby blue in the inner corners of your eyes.

Step 8-

Line your bottom lid and waterline with the navy liner.

Step 9-

Line the top lid with your royal blue liner, then bring it back around to the inner corner of the lower lid, to bring the look together.

Step 10-

Sweep some blue mascara on to finish!
