I didn't want to skew the hue here so I started with an all-over-the-lid base of essence white kajal. Along the top and bottom lashlines went the palest blue from the Maybelline Sapphire Hyperdiamonds palette (the triangle on the right). Such a pretty pastel blue with some sparkly bits which I find hard to resist. It looks quite dark under the lower lashes because I blended it with MNY Master Precise Liquid liner, but the shimmer still shows clearly...
Over the rest of the top lid I applied MUA Matte Eyeshadow in Midnight. Oh joy of joys, MUA have recently expanded their 1 pound matte range from five shades to seven, and included this fabulous deep and richly pigmented blue - it's as potent as Sleek Ink and blends beautifully. Mind you they've also deleted #19, my favourite nude of all time, and one I've been buying for years. I use it on my hoods because it's exactly the colour of my skin, and helps to hide the little imperfections I have in this puffy area. Last time I was able to order it, there was a limit of two per customer, but now it seems to have disappeared altogether - I'm shattered as I've not found anything even close to it made by another company :-(
On the waterline is a blue bhcosmetics Waterpoof Eye Liner crayon, also called Midnight...
And here's the whole face - cheeks are MUA blusher in Shade 6, and lips are a combination of David Jones Moisture Cream Lipstick in a nude tint called Sunday Best, topped with Maybelline Color Elixir gloss in Vision in Violet...
Hope the week is kind to you ♥
Take care of you,

Wow wow wow......you simply always look amazing :)
ReplyDeleteGosh Fawn, you really are so very kind ♥ But I can assure you I'm very selective about the pics I post here - it's highly unlikely you'll ever see the ones where the lighting isn't flattering, bloggers prerogative ha ha!
DeleteI tend to shun pure blue, I mix it with green, purple, anything. I should try something like this. The white base makes a difference in the purity of colour. I use navy liner sometimes, it's wonderful for making those scleras look their whitest. Great look!
ReplyDeleteMy camera isn't the best for capturing true colours - it actually makes this look more on the aqua side, when in fact it was a definite powder blue. I love how blue makes me feel so calm though - will try the navy liner trick soon, thanks for the tip hon ♥
DeleteAbsolutely stunning, Kat. The look is so tranquil and hypnotising. I didn't even realise I'd missed blue on your lids, until now! xx
ReplyDeleteAww Indie you always choose the most wonderful adjectives to describe my looks - thanks bella ♥
DeleteBLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUE!!! *runs around like a kid excited at Christmas LOL*
ReplyDeleteLove it of course. :o) I really ought to experiment with using blue on my eyes, even though I have blue eyes already & it'd probably cancel them out. I think navy is about as far as I'd go for now (makeup novice & all), I've seen myself with navy liner & I liked it.
Ha ha Seashells - thanks babe. Hey I'm a great believer that wearing the same colour shadow as your eyes actually intensifies them, which is contrary to what all the "experts" say, but I've proven it over and over again with my greenies - just a teeny bit of blue (for starters) along the lashline would be fab hon ♥
DeleteWow looking gorgeous! I love this shade of blue on you! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you treasure - I tend to wear more aqua shades or tealy blues, but the soft powdery ones sure hold their own xxx
DeleteSo flawless Kats! Im a sucker for a blue eye look and this is just devine xx
ReplyDeleteBless you Monique - crikey I only spotted your Cocktail Party Makeup look today, like WOW!
