Pale Turquoise Waterline

I've been a little obsessed with pastel, cool colors lately...particularly blues.  Pale turquoise is one of my favorites, but I don't use it often because I don't want to play it out.  It's been raining here in the SF Bay Area for a week now...and I decided, what the heck, I need a little color to brighten up these dreary days.  Here's the look:

My inspiration came from the lovely Meredith of Pigments and Palettes:

To create my interpretation, I used my Coastal Scents 88 Original palette.  To start, I apply a shade of pale turquoise halfway across my primed upper eyelid:

Next, I'm going to apply a dark brown shade to the outer corner of my upper eyelid:

Then I'm going to soften the outer crease color with a medium brown shade:

With a soft, white eyeliner pencil, I'm going to line my lower lash line, being sure to line my waterline as well:

Using the same, pale turquoise shade, I'm going to layer over the white liner:

Now I'm going to take my Urban Decay Eyeshadow Pencil in Rehab, and trace outside of my now-turquoise liner:

Then I'm going to layer the medium-brown shadow over the eyeshadow pencil:

To brighten the look and add a little shimmer, I'm going to use my UD Eyeshadow Pencil in Sin and blend along the outer edge of the darker liner:

For added depth, I'm going to apply a little matte black shadow to the outer corners of my top and bottom eyelids:

Now I'm just going to use some black gel/cream eyeliner to sweep a winged line along my upper lash line:

Apply mascara and some false lashes and I'm finished!

Overall look:

Cheeks: ELF Studio Blush in Pink Passion.  Lips: ELF Studio Glossy Gloss in Wild Watermelon.

Not only does the pale turquoise add a pleasant pop of color, it brightens and widens my small, almond-shaped eyes as well.  LOVE!  I can see myself doing this often. :D

Hope you all enjoyed and have a great night!

Hugs,
