Look – Oceanic Aquas and Blues

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

Yet another old look! I did this around mid-November, I think, but I made the worst mistake! So, I did all the makeup so I could post on the blog, but I started removing my makeup before I had taken full-face photos. My total apologies for the way the full-face photos turned out, because I only realized my error after I had removed one eye. I tried to hide it using my hair, but it didn’t go so well, LOL. But hopefully you get the idea.

Now, I better get my butt back to studying. My three-hour final starts at 1PM, and it is worth 100% of my grade! Wish me luck ;)

P.S. – Somehow comments got disabled on this post, but they’re allowed now :) Sorry about that!

You will need the following…

  • Eyes: Azreal pigment (soft blue-aqua), Aquavert eyeshadow (soft aqua), Shimmermoss eyeshadow (teal), Electric Eel eyeshadow (bright blue), Freshwater eyeshadow (medium blue), Gorgeous Gold eyeshadow (green-gold), Prescriptives Blue Grotto liner (forest green-blue), Plushlash mascara (black)
  • Cheeks: Enough Said blush (soft peach)
  • Lips: Ravishing lipstick (coral-orange), Pink Grapefruit lipglass (coral-pink)
  • Brushes: 266 (firm, angled brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 129 (dense blush brush)
  • Substitutes: Azreal = Blue + Frozen White; Aquavert = Tilt; Enough Said = bronzer, Pink Grapefruit = Lychee Luxe

Directions: Define brows using a coordinating powder shadow applied with the 266 brush. Apply Azreal pigment all over the lid as the base with the 249. On the inner lid, apply Aquavert eyeshadow using the 239. Apply Shimmermoss eyeshadow to the middle of the lid, then overlay partiall with Electric Eel eyeshadow. Darken the outer lid using Freshwater eyeshadow and drag into crease using the 239. Darken crease with Freshwater eyeshadow using the 239. Sweep Gorgeous Gold eyeshadow underneath the brow bone to highlight. Finish with Prescriptives’ Blue Grotto liner on lower lash line then smudge with Freshwater eyeshadow using the 219, and Plushlash mascara on lashes. Sweep apples of cheeks with Enough Said blush using the 129. Apply Ravishing lipstick to lips, and then top with Pink Grapefruit lipglass for color and shine.

This is my all-time favorite look of yours... and I finally have all the eyeshadows to do it! I'm really excited. I love your blue shadowed looks~! :D

Oh, wow! Thanks so much, Brigitte! I hope you love the look on yourself!

You are glowing, my love! I love it! Happy Holidays!

Thanks, Sash! Happy holidays to you and yours :)

Hello hotness!! :o) I like how your eye make up matches your sweater. Another gorgeous look from you.

Haha! Thank you so much, Eva :D

Another good (if only 1/2!) job. Well done. The blue liner is striking. Best wishes for your exam.

agh, i knew i should've gotten pink grapefruit. that looks preeeeeeetttty :)

It's one of my fave shades, but Lychee Luxe is very similar!

Good one! I've been doing neutrals for so long, I'm a little hesitant to do bright colors again, I think I've forgotten how!! Another downside of growing up and getting a real job= no crazy eyeshadow on a daily basis. I'm a little rusty =(

OMG, I feel the same way, Claudia!!

HAHA your hair makes you look pretty anyway!

i love blue and teals too you look great ....great blending

omgosh I had to do a blog about this look! It was sooo amazing when I saw it! I love blues and this by far is one of the best looks I've seen! And my fav from a lot of your looks, which are sooo many good ones! Awesome job christine!

Aww, that's so flattering, Lyn! Thank you :)

Apologize for what?? You look amazing!

I forgot to take pictures before I removed one eye, that's why :P LOL.

Wow! Blue is my favorite color anyway, but preferences aside, this is an amazing look. You look great! ;)

Blue is so fun. Thanks, Trent :)

OH, another one of your best. This colors look amazing on you.

Aw, thanks a lot, Beda ;)

All of your makeup looks are totally flawless!

I love this look! Your hair looks so good over your eye like that, and it's not that noticeable that the one eye was wiped off. I thought the pictures turned out well.

Thanks, Stephanie! I was sooo mad at myself. I couldn't believe I forgot!

And even with half your face almost un-done you look gorgeous!

LOL. Thanks so much, Ashlee :)

Your so funny! I like the look :)

Love the eye look, and that lipstick/gloss combo looks AMAZING on you!

Thank youu, Catherine!! :)

I love the blues Christine! Great job as always. And I also like the one eye look, I think it looks sultry ;)

Thanks so much, Sandy :D HAHA! Sultry, let's go with that!

It's pretty! I love Pink Grapefruit, and it looks amazing with Ravishing.

Thank you! Yesss, Pink Grapefruit is a long-time favorite :D

Ah! I always love when you do blue eyes or smokey eyes...(even if my MAC MA suggested I stay away from blue.) Another one to try... Good luck on the final!...I'm in the same boat as you. Final Exam and Lab report due Thursday...ah!!

Thank you, Michelle!! I hope your final exam and lab report went well!
