Blue, Blue, Blue


My makeup today is very simple. I wasn’t in the mood to do too much today but I wanted to share what I did anyway. I started using a new foundation today. I used Neutrogena Sheer Glow foundation in the lightest shade.  It doesn’t have a lot of coverage so I had to use more of my concealer but I like that it doesn’t feel like I am wearing a whole lot of makeup. As always, I set it with a powder. I usually go back and forth between my FitMe powder in 110 or my MAC mineralized skin finish in light. Today I went over my foundation with MAC since it gives more coverage. I used my usual bronzer (Maybelline FitMe in light). My blush is an ELF blush in Peachy Keen.
My eyes are usually my main feature. Since I wear glasses, I want to make sure my eyes pop. Today I went for a blue theme. I primed my eyes with Urban Decay Primer Potion. I started with Nylon by MAC all over the lid and then on the outer third of the lid I put Prussian by Mac. I used a flat eye shadow brush for both colors. I blend the colors with my blending brush. In my crease, I lightly used a dark blue from the NYX eye shadow trio in Lake Moss. You have to try out this trio. Maybe I will do a review on it soon! Once again, I blended the colors. I used Vanilla and a little bit of Nylon from MAC to highlight my brow bone and inner corner of my eye. I used a little bit of MAC All that Glitters on the center of my lid. I took NYX eye pencil in Sapphire and lined my upper and lower lash line. I put the dark blue from NYX over the upper lash line and I used Prussian and the dark blue on my lower lash line. Lastly, I used my favorite mascara, Bad Gal Lash. Before I went out and about, I did use Peony by NYX on the lips followed by a Philosophy lip-gloss in coconut.
This is definitely not my best look but I really wanted to do a blue themed eye look. I hope you enjoy.
Stay beautiful and never forget your lip-gloss!
