Smoky Eye + Experimental Blue Freckles
About this Look
I recently cleaned out my makeup collection and found a few items I wanted to play around with! I found a beautiful black shadow with pink, orange, and blue sparkles that I felt would create a beautiful smoky eye. To compliment the blue glitters (which, unfortunately, don’t show up the best on the iPhone camera!), I used a favorite blue shadow in the waterline and added a smattering of blue freckles after concealing my own natural freckles.
Step-by-Step Guide
Face:
Mario Badescu Rosewater spray to prime and set
L'oreal Tru Match liquid foundation - Porcelain (W1). too full coverage for everyday wear for my taste, but great for when I need a blank canvas for creative looks
L.A. Girl Pro Conceal - Yellow Corrector (to correct dark circles) & Poreclain (undereye concealer and highlight)
NYC Loose Face Powder - Translucent
Maybelline The Nudes eyeshadow palette - matte taupe to contour (looking for other fair contours @ the drugstore!)
Wet n' Wild Coloricon Blush - Rosé Champagne
DLS Baked Highlighter - Bellisima
Revlon Colorstay Skinny Liquid Liner - Electric Blue (for freckles; perhaps the tip is too fine as I had troubles getting the freckles even. A blue gel liner w/ a small liner brush would probably be more effective.)
Brows:
Elf eyebrow kit - dark
Maybelline Brow Precise Fiber Volumizer - Deep brown
Eyes:
Wet n' Wild Photofocus eyeshadow primer
Makeup Revolution Girls on Film palette (matte taupe to transition, grey & black to blend, light warm purple around edges; satin white & light pink metallic on inner corners)
L.A. Girl Pro Primer Eyeshadow Stick - Black
ELF Glitter Primer - Clear
Wet n' Wild Fergie Centerstage Collection - Paris Runway (eyeshadow palette that houses the black w/ glitters I used, best when patted on w/ finger)
Wet n' Wild - Brulee (to blend around edges & highlight browbone)
Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect mascara
Ulta Collection Lengthening Mascara - Vivid Blue (applied lightly overtop the black mascara for a subtle color effect)
Kiss Luxury Intense Retractable Eyeliner - Snow White (base for blue waterline; Colourpop Prance would be beautiful for a brightening baby blue look, alternately)
Kiss Single Eyeshadow - Cornflower (stunning matte bright blue shadow!! so incredible for the affordable pricetag)
Lips:
Kiss The Queen Creamy Lipstick - Unpredictable (interesting greyed-out lavender)
Soap & Glory Sexy Motherpucker Lipgloss - Plumsup
*I found all my Kiss color products at a local beauty supply. I highly recommend checking out a local beauty supply to see if they carry their makeup range. Their single shadows are incredible and they offer a mix of interesting bright colors (matte orange, yellow, blue, duochrome fuschia!) and everyday shades. Only $5!
I love the concept of blue freckles. Really cool with the blue eyeliner.
thank you!! I definitely want to experiment with other colors for freckles in the future.
Gabriella, I have to say that yours are the very first drawn in freckles I’ve seen and LOVED! Very creative use of blues in your look! Love it!
Thank you so much Nancy! This may sound silly but I felt starstruck when I saw your comment as I see you around here a lot, haha!
Gorgeous! LOVE the coordination of the blue in the waterline with the blue freckles! One of the most creative ideas I’ve seen that would actually be wearable/doable…. keep posting! ❣️
Thank you!
Really love the color combinations you used.
Thank you so much 🙂
