Gradient Blue Look

A gradient is a smooth blending of shades from light to dark (or from one color to another). When applying eye shadow, the easiest way to blend two colors together is when you use two colors that are the same color but different shades. For this look, I used white and 3 shades of blue to create a gradient. You can create other gradient looks the same way using at least 2 different shades of one color.
