Eyeshadows with a pop of blue, green or yellow adds a lot of drama to the eye. Today, I have created an eye makeup with a pop of blue balanced with intense black eyeshadow. This is a pretty intense look, definitely not for the meek hearted! If you like experimenting with the way you look, you’ll surely love this new technique!
Let’s have a look at the step-wise presentation of the black eyes with a pop of blue tutorial:
Start by moisturizing the delicate eye area. Dot your favorite eye cream under the eye area and use your ring finger to gently blend it into the skin. Then, allow it to get absorbed and after a minute apply a concealer and conceal your dark circles. Use a flat concealer brush or fingers to blend the concealer. Set the creamy concealer with a loose or compact powder to prevent slipping off of the product.
Stick a cello tape in the outermost corner of your eyes by connecting an imaginary line extending the lower lash line of your eyes. This tape will act as a guideline for the eye makeup and will also create a sharp wing at the outer corner of your eyes. Then, pick a black kajal and draw a thick eye liner on the upper lash line of your eyes. This step needn’t be neat as we will be smudging it later. It is best to use a creamy formula kajal for this step as it will help in the easy blending and smudging of the product. I used the Lotus Herbals creamy kajal in black for this step.
Then pick a smudge brush or a pencil type brush to softly smudge the harsh edges left by the kajal in the previous step. Do not pull your eyes, but use very light pressure to blend out the kajal. I used the Colorbar Smudge brush to blend the kajal in this step.
Then, take a matte black eyeshadow and apply it over the smudged black kajal. Pick the eyeshadow with a flat brush and softly pat it over the kajal to get the maximum color intensity. I picked a matte black eyeshadow from Kryolan for this step. Then, pick a matte soft grayish black eyeshadow and diffuse the crease area of your eyes to create a smokey look to the eye makeup. Pick the eyeshadow in a fluffy blending brush to easily blend the eyeshadow.
Then, pick a creamy blue eye pencil and apply it to the innermost corner and one third of your eyelid area. I used the Tips and Toes blue kajal pencil to get this look right.
Then, pick a cobalt blue eyeshadow in satin or shimmer finish and apply it to the innermost corner and one third area of the eyelid area. I used a cobalt blue eyeshadow in satin finish from the Elf 144 eyeshadow palette.
Then, pick a fluffy blending brush to softly blend the blue and black eyeshadow applied in the previous step. Eye makeup looks appear seamless and smokey only if the different eye colors are blended well. I used a blending brush from Vega to softly blend the eyeshadow.
Then, apply a matte white eyeshadow to the brow bone area of your eyes. Elf 144 eyeshadow palette was used for the matte white eyeshadow. Then, apply the same blue eyeshadow to the inner corner and one third area of your lower lash line. Follow it with a matte black eyeshadow to the outermost corner of your lower lash line of your eyes to create balance and even finish.
Line your eyes thinly to finish the eye makeup. Apply lots of mascara to create an illusion of thicker eyelashes. L’Oreal Million Lashes Mascara and Kryolan black eye liner were used to achieve this step. Line your waterline with a black eye pencil. I have used the Lotus Herbals black kajal for this step.
That’s it! Six simple steps to achieve a gorgeous eye makeup look. Dare to be different!
