How to - Brown Blues Glam

Hey guys! Long time, no chat! Sending out my sorry, but it has been a hectic period for me...exams, work, some big plans for the next year of school...^^ having a lot going on! Also, my Bday passed and I want to thank everybody that wished me all the best! Thank you once more!


Today I have a simple, easy to do makeup, but I for one find it extremely versatile and usable for both elegant and casual styles. I used only around 4 colors for the eyes, but some you can even skip if you don't like the idea *smiles*!

I applied in this order:
Eyelid: navy blue
Crease: light gray (to blend out the blue)
Outer corner and going into the crease: medium brown
Lower lashline (to accent the eyes) : soft, light brown
Highlight, inner corner and under the brow: shimmery white

On the eyelid I also used a blue pencil and added some lashes to make it more dramatic. The face is done as I usually do...


Tip:
- Blend, blend, blend and blend! Colors are better shown when there is a gradual fade to them!
- Use lighter formulas, but with a SPF! Brighter days came and you need an extra boost to protect your skin!


What I used:

Face:
* Alverde Mineral Make-up Foundation, shade 01 Naturelle;
* Alverde Mineral Camouflage Powder, shade Sand;
* Farmasi, Happy Face powder, shade 03;
* Farmasi, Tender Blush On, shade 169;
* Miss Sporty,
Bronzing Powder, shade Sun Kissed.

Eyes:
* Sephora Pallet (blues and greens -navy blue- + browns -shimmery white-);
* Maybelline quad, shade Chocolate Mousse (medium brown and light brown);
* Dior pallet, sorry I don't know the name of the pallet or that of the colors (light gray);
* Sephora Collections Pencile, shade white;
* Alverde Precision Mascara.

Lips:
* Bourjois, Effet 3D Les nudes, shade 35 Nude egeric.


Wishing you an easy and sunny end of the week!
