Blue Sparkle Tutorial

Hello!  So I had this sparkly blue eyeshadow look on yesterday while doing the triple bun updo tutorial.  I mentioned that I would do a tutorial for the makeup today, so here I am.


Unfortunately, I didn't have time to do a video tutorial for it, so I hope you guys don't mind an old-school, step-by-step photo tutorial. :)

So, the first step is to apply some tealish-blue shadow to my eyelid (primed with Lime Crime Candy Eyed)  I used my good ol' Blue Had Me At Hello palette by Wet N Wild:



Next, I'm going to use the ice-blue shade from the palette to soften the edges of the teal shadow:



With a black eyeliner pencil, I'm going to trace my upper and lower lash line:


Then, using the black matte shadow from the palette, I'm going to layer it over the black liner:



Now I'm going to apply glitter all over my eyelid and along my lower lash line with Sephora Collection Glitter Eyeliner in Teal:


Using Wet N Wild Mega Eyes Cream Eyeliner, I'm going to paint a winged line along my upper lash line and enhance my lower lash line:


To finish the look, I curl my lashes and apply mascara and false lashes.  I used Daiso Daily Lash Style A:


Here is me looking "moody".  Lol.


I used a filter from my Camera+ app to create a vintage, aged look for this photo.  Isn't it cool?

  4. Thanks ladies! One of my sisters was wearing her glitter liner this way on Halloween and I loved it so much I thought I'd try it. I guess it's not bad for a first attempt. :D
