Make Blue Eyes POP

Hey there, hey there !

It’s nearly Friday waaaahoooo. I can’t wait for this weekend to roll around because im getting to start a Bridal Make-up course this Sunday and i am so so so excited! Ive done other makeup courses in the past but this is a top-up and ‘perfecting’ type course for Make-up artists. I’ll definitely let you all know about it and ill have a review up on new makeup brushes im trying out as well. I’ll let you all know the brand and types very very soon so hold on to your hats!

Anyway this post is based on big sparkly BLUE eyes. I know so many people with blue eyes who never ever use these colours which completely confuses me because hello its the most flattering colour EVER.

As you can see here below this is my gorgeous model 🙂 

Above I have used Gold tones on her eyes and darkened the outer corners using bronze tones. 

This is the easiest way of making blue eyes pop! It’s so simple and can be achieved using only two shades. 

1. Firstly I used a tan coloured/ warm bronze matte shade all over the lid, emphasising the outer crease specifically. I blended this shade all over the lid using a fluffy blender brush.If you can’t find an eyeshadow in this shade bronzer is perfect to use also.
2. Next I applied gold pigmented eyeshadow all over the lid and inner corners with a flat shader brush. I re-applied this shade until I had the depth I wanted, switching between my shader brush and my fluffy blending brush to apply and blend the shade into the warm bronze matte shade.
3. Finally I applied liquid liner to her lid and a kohl pencil to her water line and tight line. All in the shade ‘black’. 
4. I completed this look with lashings of mascara.

(For this look I used products that are all found in a drugstore/pharmacy, these shades are so easy to find. 🙂 )

My next look was a bit different but the colours used still made my models eyes pop beautifully !

The shades I used in this look where a little bit harder to find. I mainly used Urban Decay. However these shades are easy to find in christmas eyeshadow palettes and the likes (Bonus – Christmas season and all that ) ! 

1. Firstly I began with my over lid shade , using Urban Decays -Naked palette 3! I used Nooner for this and followed the same steps as I did in the look above. Blending the shade forwards and back until I was happy with the consistency and depth.
2. Next I went in with Urban Decay again, using the same Naked 3 palette and for this I used ‘Blackout’. This is a rich blackcurrant shade with plenty of pigment and sparkle! (Perfect for Christmas girls). I used my Sigma pencil precision brush for this application. Creating an almond shape as I went along as my models eyes were between droopy and deeply set! As before I blended this shade out with my fluffy blender brush. However as my model had a specific eye shape I had to make sure to blend upwards at all times and slightly inwards to pick the eyes up so to speak.
3. For the lower lash line I applied the gold glittery shade I used in the first look. This was Barry M’s sparkle dust in ‘Gold’.
4. This eyeshadow is extra pigmented and therefore take care with fallout when using this beautiful colour.
5. I then went in with the tan/bronze colour I used in the last look also. I used my ‘Hoola by Benifit’ Bronzer for this. Best of both worlds Heh.
6. I blended these two shades out with my E40 Sigma blender brush.
7. Finally I went in with my NYE liquid liner to the top lash and my MAC ‘Feline’ Kohl pencil on the tight line and waterline.
8. I completed this look with lashings of mascara.

And that’s it guys. A simple and easy way to make Blue Eyes Pop ! 🙂 Hope you enjoyed and don’t forget to comment, follow and like !
