Hey foxies! Hope you all are doing great with life and makeup. This blog post is not at all inspired by my zodiac sign but hey it makes for a great title. Also because the symbol of Aquarius is water-bearer, the royal blue smokey eye look will go perfectly with this sign. How do you feel about that?
Let's get to my version of the easiest royal blue smokey eye tutorial!
Products You Need
- Makeup Revolution Fortune Favors the Brave Palette
- Maybelline fit me concealer in the shade medium
- Kajal Pencil( Use it of your choice and make sure it is easily blend-able)
- Blending Eye shadow brush (I used Kryolan 3507)
- Any good quality Mascara
Royal blue eye shadow looks real sophisticated on brown eyes and if you do not have 'Fortune Favors the Brave'
palette, you can buy a separate royal blue eye shadow pigment or a high quality cream eyeshadow pencil in similar color.
1. Prep Your Eyes
Apply an eyeshadow primer or a concealer onto your eye lids. I use Maybelline fit me concealer in shade medium all over my eye lids to create a proper base for the eye makeup.
2. Create Depth in Your Crease
Take the dark brown eye shadow(first shade from the third row:left to right) onto your blending brush and swirl it into your crease a few times softly. I'll show you the picture in the next step
3. Create a Black Base
Take your kajal pencil and draw a thick eyeliner onto your eyelids. The eyeliner should cover 1/3rd of your eye lid.
Blend the black kajal on half of your eye lids very softly and use the same blending brush to connect the brown shade from the crease with the blended black kajal. You don't have to be precise with putting the black liner onto your eye lids. Just draw it roughly and blend it nicely with the crease. If you do not have a blending brush, fingers work just as fine in fact better than the brush.
4. Royal Highness
The look is almost complete. Take the shimmer royal blue shade(last one of the first row:left to right) on a finger tip and tap it onto your blended black liner base. You have to put the blue shade quite a few times because this particular eye shadow is very sheer.
5. Highlight BrowBone
Apply the cool-toned shimmer shade(first one of second row:left to right) onto your browbone; place underneath your brows. Highlighting the browbone will make your eyes look lifted.
6. Mascara and Clean Up
Apply generous coats of mascara on your eye lashes and take the same royal blue eye shadow on a cotton swab and apply it on your lower lash line.
Clean up any fall out and use the concealer under your eyes to cover any dark circles.
Anywho! You don't need a special occasion to rock royal blue smokey eyes. If you want to incorporate blue in your everyday makeup look, buy a matte navy blue pencil and use it instead of a black eyeliner.
Bittersweet truth about Aquarius Females: They will create chaos and behave erratic if they feel they are losing themselves in the relationship.Not at all surprised!
