Makeup Tutorial: Smoked blue eyes

And Nude Lips!
I know i deleted my "Mermaid Eye" makeup tutorial and i promised you guys i'll be posting a better one. So this is it. Smokey blue eyes to go with soft nude lips and pink cheeks. I'll be using Essence metal glam blue eyeshadow with Naked 2 shades. These are the highlights of my tutorial.

Things i used:

Face:

- Clinique superbalanced makeup foundation

- beauty blender

- Catrice Blush 

Eyes:

- NAKED 2 

- Essence metal glam in blue

- Essence soo glow highlighter

- Rimmel Wonder'full mascara

- Bourjois waterproof eyeliner pencil in blue

- colorStudio eye stylist thin brush eyeliner

- eyeshadow brushes 

Lips:

- Maybelline honey beige lipstick

STEP#1 (face)

Clinique Superbalanced makeup foundation is a life saver in summers, specially for me, i happen to have oily skin which gets dry right after i wash my face. So i have to apply moisturizer every time i shower or even wash my hands and as i head out in sun, my makeup starts to melt down, which was my story before i found this secret potion in a small bottle. It is small for it's big price. The coverage is moderate and it's water-based, perfect for daily use. And perfect for me. 

Using a beauty blender, blend in the foundation on your entire face, starting from under your eyes area. You will not see any grey areas on your face if using this foundation. 

STEP#2 (eyes)

Chose the lightest shade in naked2 (that'll be foxy) and cover your entire eyelid.

Use Essence metal glam in blue to cover outer half of your eyelids. Blend using a soft medium sized eyeshadow brush. Starting from the outer corner of your eye, brush busted shades from Naked 2 into the crease of the eye. 

For the smokey effect, apply the blackout shade on the outer corner of your eyelid and blend it towards the end making an angle. I applied my blackout shade after applying my eyeliner so i make a neat winged eye.

Apply your winged eyeliner, i use a very thin brush for this. Either this or maybelline's gel with angled brush liner. (for eyeliner application method see my 10 minute flawless face makeup tutorial).

And for the final touch, apply your mascara. I'm using Rimmel's Wonder'full mascara. I happen to have very thin eyelashes, they are barely there, so this magical mascara does the trick for me. For me, this baby is my magic wand, and without this, i'm incomplete and weak. Seriously though, this is life. 

Apply essence soo glow highlighter just below your eyebrows and on the cheeks too (but later)

STEP#3 (Cheeks)

Keeping it a low key, apply blush with a big brush, starting from under your cheek bones all the way to your cheeks. 

This is the easiest part.

STEP#3 (lips)

Using Maybelline's Honey Beige lipstick, cover your lips all the way to their outer ends. Under the lower outer ends of your lips apply essence soo glow highlighter, also, apply highlighter on the cheek bones and under your eyebrow area. And you're good to go. 

Zooom, zoom!
