Make -Up Mondays: Electric Blue

Took a shot at a dramatic , edgy yet sultry make-up look the other evening when I went out for dinner. If you are not into the overly done up "beat face" look then this simple but eye-catching make up look might just be right up your alley.

Step 1: After I applied my foundation, concealer and blush I used a wet q-tip to entirely cover my eye lids in a cobalt blue hue , navy blue eye-shadow at the edges of my eyelids and the lightest shimmery silver/baby blue color in the tear duct of my eyes. Using a small makeup brush I blended all three colors creating a smooth gradient of light to dark shade while maintaining a cat eye shape. Used the same technique for the bottom of my eyes.

Step 2: I used a liquid eyeliner to line the lids of my eyes and as I got closer to the edges the line grew noticeable thicker (a cat eye shape/winged liner look). Lined my lower eye with a regular black eye liner.

Step 3: To intensify the blue hue I piled electric blue eye glitter using a wet q-tip and applied dramatic lashes.

Step 4: Finished my make up with a pale pink lip stick but I think a neutral color on the lip would have been much better considering the fact that the eye make-up was so heavy.
