I wasn't sure about uploading this one as I totally failed at getting any decent photos of my eye makeup, as the sun went down faster than I expected. Regardless of the bad photography I thought I would share anyway as after all what have I got to lose!
I seem to be embracing colourful eyes a lot lately! I wore a dark blue dress out for dinner last night and really wanted to use one of my favourite eyeshadows, 'Frosted Ocean' by NYX. Ignore my shocking nails, but Frosted Ocean is a beautiful shade from Nyx that I wish I could wear more often. It's an insanely pigmented rich blue, packed with light blue glitters.
Firstly I put the Maybelline colour tattoo in Too Cool on the lid as a base so that the colours really popped, followed by the blue shade from the Nars China Seas eyeshadow duo on the inner corner of my eye. For the star of the show, I packed Frosted Ocean heavily all over the lid, getting blue fallout all over my face was inevitable considering the glitter in this shadow, but in my opinion it's worth it for the colour pay off. I blended everything out and focused on the outer corner with the Bloom single eyeshadow in Ash, which is exactly like the name - a grey ashy colour. And when you think there couldn't be anymore blue, I added the Nars long wear liner in Gratis onto my water line. Ofcourse the look was finished with a thick winged eyeliner as always, mascara and some half lashes.
I loved wearing this blue eyeshadow combo and the whole night I continued to sing 'Im blue ba da di da da die'. Thanks for stopping by my blog and bearing through the bad photography, be sure to let me know if you're a fan of blue eyeshadows!
