Brown and Yellow with Blue EOTD

Today’s EOTD shows another place where you can add an extra pop of color to your eye makeup. I placed a shimmery blue eye shadow on the outer half of my lower lash line — an unexpected color that becomes noticeable when you make eye contact. Here are the steps to do this eye shadow look!

  1. Apply a primer like Too Faced Shadow Insurance on your entire lid.
  2. Apply a shimmery light gold eye shadow on your inner corner, tear duct, and inner half of lower lash line. I used MAC Limited Edition E/S in “Flip”.
  3. With a dense eye shadow brush, pack on a bright yellow color on the center of your lid, blending where it meets the light gold. I used MAC Pro E/S in “Canary Yellow”.
  4. Apply a dark red-brown eye shadow (like MAC E/S in “Mulch”) on your outer V, and blend along your entire crease.
  5. Use a fluffy brush to apply a soft creamy beige color as highlight. I used MAC E/S in “Brulé”.
  6. Now apply the extra pop of a shimmery blue color on the outer half of your lower lash line. Blend in the center where it meets the shimmery light gold color from Step 2. I used MAC E/S in “Freshwater” with a MAC 266 Small Angle Brush.
  7. Line your upper lash line with a black liquid or gel liner, like my favorite Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in “Black Ink”.
  8. Curl your lashes and apply mascara to both your upper and lower lashes. I’m wearing Maybelline The Falsies Volum’Express Waterproof Mascara in “Very Black” — two coats on the top and one coat on the bottom.
