Hey there, welcome to pursebuzz.com. Today, I'm gonna show you how to create a really intense blue look. I love it. It's just really gray, really metallic, and you can use any types of blues that you want. Doesn't have to be a certain kind, as long as you have the base for it.
Very first thing to create this really intense blue is to add a little bit of a cream color base to your eyelid or whatever base that you like, something neutral so I'm gonna use my favorite Luna. The reason why I like Luna is because it's a white. It's a sheer iridescent white color so whatever color you put on there, it will be intensified and it won't be distracted by the color of your eyelid, your actual skin tone, 'cause sometimes, you know, if you have really pale skin, then the color will be really, really intense.
If you're a little tan, you're more on the darker side, then it will be a little harder to see the color but if you add a white base, then all the colors will be as true to the color as much as possible. So I'm just gonna add Luna all over my lid. I'm gonna smooth it out with my fingers, on the ends. Kinda pat it in, moving it up.
Then the next thing is I'm gonna use Outworldly and it's a light teal color and there's some black stuff in there and I'm going to take this angle brush, the 275, and it has a little bit of moisturizer on it so it has more of an emollient kind of a base to it so it's gonna make it easier for me to spread on that color on to my lid. So I'm gonna take a little bit of Outworldly,
on to my dry brush. I'm sorry, not my dry brush. My moisturized brush and I'm just gonna add a little bit in the middle and then I'm gonna stop right where my brow bone is, right there. I'm just gonna do a little square in the middle. See that? See how it makes-- it makes spreading on your base a lot easier when you add just a little bit of moisturizer on to your brush.
It also makes it easier when you're doing two different color bases on your lids. The next part I'm gonna use out here is black so I want it to blend with this light like baby blue so it's a little difficult on its own if your brush is slightly moisturized. It makes the process so much easier. So I'm going to be using black brown. If you don't have black brown, you can actually use like a black fluid line or something like eyeliner even, just something that's black,
so you're gonna take your brush and you're gonna buff it into your pot and just gonna add just a little bit here. You've gotta be careful to be neat about it. I'm applying that edge right here at the end. And so I'm just gonna put it on a little bit, then I'm gonna wipe down that brush as much as I can. Wiping it down on a tissue, puff plus something, something, tissue.
Okay. So then I'm gonna take it, I'm gonna kind of go in a little circle here and I'm gonna soften the transition line, just like that. So it's not a hard line between the black and that baby blue. The outer edge, you don't have to worry about so much, you just wanna get kind of an idea of how you want it to be. You can use a Q-tip or a tissue to clean that up.
Clean up, make a little room for your highlighting area. Just gonna go just a little bit here, and I'm gonna buff it out so that there's not a hard line on the top. But now you have your black base so whatever color you put on there will be intensified and darkened with that black color. Then you're just gonna take your little finger here and you're just gonna smooth this part out here, this line with the blue and the Luna. Outworldly.
So that's what it looks like. Now, so you've got a base and a foundation and a good idea of where your other eyeshadows are gonna go so on this inner corner, you're gonna choose a light color and I'm choosing-- it's actually a MAC pro color called White Gold. You can use Vanilla, you can use anything like that. I wouldn't use quick frost pigment if you have that 'cause that kinda has a green base so something either it's white with a blue base, that one's a really good shadow, but I'm just gonna use this white one here.
And I'm going to apply that with this brush right here. It's the 252. Just gonna add just a little bit on the inner corner. Then I'm gonna pat it down. Just like that. Just patting on the inner corner.
And the next color I'm going to use is called Sky Blue and it's also a pro color but it's just a matte baby blue so if you have a baby blue color in any other line, it will work, too. You can see it, right there, baby blue. And I'm taking a 239 brush 'cause I'm gonna pat everything down first before I blend. And I'm just going in a vertical motion, up and down.
Now we're gonna need a transition color from dark to-- from the dark color to the light color so I'm gonna use this Blue Comb. Blue Comb is another pro color but you can actually-- it's like electric eel so this one just has a little shimmer to it and that's why I've chosen to use it but you can use like electric eel, something intense than turquoise blue and you're gonna put that right here.
Right next to the Sky Blue. I'm doing this right by the window and that's why it's actually daylight and so it's really-- looks like the colors are washed out but it's really intense. So the next color I'm gonna use is Deep Truth. Deep Truth, you can get anywhere. It's a metallic navy blue or midnight blue and I'm gonna use a 224 brush. The reason why I'm gonna use a 224 brush 'cause it's a little looser and it's not gonna pick up as much color as a 239,
and I'm just gonna apply it right here on the outer corner in a diagonal motion. Just like that. And, see, you have these transitional colors from the really, really light to the medium blue to the dark blue, and that's how you can go from color to color. And then I'm just gonna bring it in a little bit with the 224. And you can always shape it later, just wanna get the blue on there.
Now I like to shape my eye color like the colors when I lots with a Q tip just so that it's really precise around the edges so I'm gonna do that right now. So, how I'm gonna shape my eyes is I know everyone probably knows that my lids are not even,
so I don't really go by how my lids look. I go by how my brow bone is so my brow bone ends right here and that's where my lid color will end 'cause if not, you look at it carefully, if I just did a color here, you wouldn't see it on this side and I know, I've been receiving a lot of e-mails about how to work with that and that's what I do, I just measure where my brow bone is and that's where all the color goes and anything beneath this color up here is highlighter. So, I'm just gonna even it out. Just gonna wipe it down here.
and when I use that Luna, it makes things easier to clean up the edges and clean up the areas 'cause it's emollient and it's still moisturizing and so you could still work with it, unlike if you use Urban Decay, I think they just dries really fast, all the colors just cling on to your lids, and it makes it difficult. But Urban Decay is good for those with oily lids so-- 'cause it just dries up your lids and your color will stick on your eyes.
