The combination of blue and gold has a very special place in my heart. Blue and gold have been my school colors in elementary school, high school, and both of the universities I attended. I really enjoyed school, and I had a lot of school spirit as well when it came to sports (which I also participated in) and other extracurricular activities. I came up with this makeup look in honor of my school colors that I love so much.

EYES
- Too Faced Shadow Insurance (entire lid)
- MAC E/S in “Goldmine” (lower lid, tear duct, and entire lower lash line)
- MAC Limited Edition Pigment in “Bell-Bottom Blue” (apply wet on outer V using a sponge-tipped applicator and MAC Pro Water Base Mixing Medium — click here to see how to make your own homemade mixing medium; blend towards outer half of crease) — I just got this at the Las Vegas CCO (Cosmetic Company Outlet)!
- MAC E/S in “Ricepaper” (highlight)
- Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in “Black Ink” (upper lash line)
- MAC Pro Eyeliner Mixing Medium (upper lash line)
- MAC Pro Glitter in “Reflects Antique Gold” (upper lash line, on top of eyeliner mixing medium)
- Blinc Kiss Me Mascara in “Black” (top and bottom lashes)
CHEEKS
- Benefit Bronzing Powder in “Hoola” (contour) — also used this to contour my nose… can you tell? ![]()
- TEMPTU AIR pod Highlighter in “301 Champagne” (highlight upper half of apples and up towards temples)
LIPS
- MAC L/S in “Bronzilla”

I’m wearing my Cal earrings, which I usually wear during UC Berkeley football games. GO BEARS!
If you love your school colors as well and would like to see a makeup look using them, let me know. It’s always fun to show your school pride, even with your makeup!

How do you do it? Certain colours or combination of colours are not for everybody, but all colours look great on you. The Blue and Gold look so nice! I’m going to have to borrow you for a day to be my make up artist
Aww thanks! I love reading your comments!
Lily, if you’re ever in California let me know!
