Hey everyone, I love me some blue eye shadow. Not the Mimi inspired blue that is an unblended mess from lashes to brow. For me it’s all about blending gorgeous shades of blue into a style that is flattering for my eye shape. Below is a step by step of a blue shadow pattern I love from my Storybook Cosmetics Little Briar Rose Palette. To watch a video tutorial of this look Click HERE
Steps for the shimmer blue:
- Using a light skin tone matte shadow set your brow bone area. I used the Tarte be you.naturally Palette for this step with a flat shadow brush, my Kryolan Art. 3714.
- Apply a Med/Lite color to inner half of lid, using your pupil as your mid-point. I used the Storybook Cosmetics Little Briar Rose Palette Fairies, which is a lite blue shimmer. I used my Kryolan Art. 3714 brush which has a nice flat edge.
- Apply Dark Color onto outer half of the lid blending softly over the middle so the colors blend gently into each other. For this I used the Storybook Cosmetics Little Briar Rose Palette Castle. I used my Kryolan Art. 3714 brush.
- Using my Morphe R39 brush to blend Castle into your crease and softly up onto brow bone.
- Using my Crown #SS011 brush blend your dark color, Storybook Cosmetics Little Briar Rose Palette Prince, into crease and blend softly up into the medium color keeping most of it into the deepest part of the crease to help contour your eye.
Optional Step – If needed apply Highlight to inner Tear Duct and at Arch of Eyebrow.
And there you have it, a shimmery fairy tale blue shadow.
