Simple Blue Smokey Eye Tutorial



Before I begin, here is a list of the products I used:  

  • Chi Chi Rich gems palette
  • Maybelline Eye Studio Colour Tattoo 24HR Metal - Electric Blue
  • Maybelline Eye Studio Colour Tattoo 24HR Cream Gel Shadow - Too Cool 
  • Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner - Blackest Black
  • Benefit Stay Don't Stray eye primer

Now you don't have to use those exact products but whatever you prefer will also work!

1. Prime your eyes with your favourite eye primer.

2. With a large blending brush, take a dark blue-grey colour and run it through your crease towards your brow bone but not to your eyebrow. Blend well!

3. Take a vibrant blue colour and with an applicator brush, pat down the colour on your lid. You want this colour to pop.

4. With a pearlish/light semi-translucent white shade, pat the inner corner and first third of your eye. Gently blend with the blue. Tip: Don't blend too much with the blue, you simply want to lighten the inner section of your eye and still see the blue.

5. With a smudger brush, run some of the blue along your lash line.

6. With a brow highlighter or a cream coloured shade, highlight beneath your brow.

7. Apply eye liner and mascara as desired.

Tips

  • This look is quite simple, but for a more dramatic eye, add some glitter over the blue and thicken your eyeliner. Also apply some false lashes and a slight shimmer colour beneath the brow bone (No mascara was applied in the images). 
  • For a bold statement, make sure your face is flawless. You want to draw attention to your eyes, not other parts of your face.
  • This can be paired with a classic creamy red lipstick.
