Cobalt Blue

If you have always wondered how can you wear a blue eyeshadow without looking like you’re stuck in the 80s, this tutorial is definitely for you! I love doing this type of makeup in the winter, whenever I want to add a pop of color to my makeup wardrobe. This cobalt blue makeup will make the white part of your eyes look whiter and brighter!

For this tutorial, I used L’oreal All Night Blue on top of Stila Cobalt blue eyeliner. You can change it up using purple, green, etc whatever color you want! It’s such an easy way to add color without going overboard.

How-to:

1. I prepped my eyes using Urban Decay Primer Potion all over my lid using my ring finger.

2. I applied  MAC Powersurge pencil eyeliner all over my eyelid. I blended out the edge using my ring finger.

3. Using a flat eyeshadow brush, I applied MAC Bronze on top of MAC Powersurge eyeliner. I applied this eyeshadow slightly above the crease.

4. Using another clean flat eyeshadow brush, I applied MAC Honey Lust on the inner half of my eyelid.

5. On the lower lid, I first lined my lower lash line using Stila Cobalt blue eyeliner.

6. Then, I applied L’oreal Infallible eyeshadow in All Night Blue using a small shader brush on the lower lash line.

7. Using a MAC 239 (eye shader) brush, I blended the edge of the crease.

8. I created a winged liner using Kanebo Kate Super Sharp Eyeliner on the upper lash line.

9. I lined my waterline using L’oreal Voluminous Smoldering eyeliner.

10. I curled my lashes and applied L’oreal Butterfly mascara. Then, I applied Quo false eyelashes.

11. I filled my brows using Anastasia Brow Wiz in Brunette.

11. I applied MUFE HD Foundation 118 using Shiseido foundation brush.

12. Under my eyes, I applied concealer from MAC Pro Correct/Conceal palette in Medium.

13. I contoured my face using MAC Shadowy powder.

14. I applied MAC Dainty blush on my cheeks, and Diorskin Shimmer Star Amber Diamond as highlighter.

15. For the lips, I applied L’oreal Infallible lipliner in Rose.

Chanel Kaska Beige re-visited

Hello, everyone! It’s been a while since my last post. I do apologize for the lack of post. Things have been going really crazy in my personal life, and I can barely catch my breath. Anyways, let’s put those things aside, and get back to this whole blogging things back on track!

Today’s tutorial used one of my all-time favorite palette from Chanel, called Kaska Beige. I’ve actually used this palette before in my Chanel Kaska Beige tutorial. This tutorial has a little bit more of a smokier feel than the older post, however still wearable for party, wedding, prom, night-out, pageant etc.

I also added a white eyeliner on the tightline to make my eyes look bigger, and heavier lashes for a doll-eye look. I applied more blush on the cheeks, just to complete the whole “doll” look. I love to add extra pinch of blush esp. in the winter when the colors are grey, and my skin feels blaaaah.

Oh, I also used the new MAC Masterclass Brush Oval 6 on my face, and I’ve to say I love it! I’ll post a review later.
