EOTD: Blue and Purple + Tutorial

 Hello everyone, cloudy and rainy weekend here in Greece. So I was bored yesterday and I decided to play with some colorful eyeshadows and I came up with a really pretty look with blue,purple and brown eyeshadows.

To be honest as a girl who pretty much always uses neutral colors I've been always afraid of wearing colors such as blue and purple. So I decided to overcome my fear and start using those colors. When you are wearing neutral eyeshadows you don't have to pay that much attention to the rest of your outfit to do not end up looking like a rainbow whereas with colorful eyeshadows you have to pay attention, at least in my opinion. So back to the look. It isn't hard to create but it does require quite enough blending as I used quite a few eyeshadows.

Products

e.l.f. Eyelid Primer

NYX Jumbo Pencil in milk

Shade 1 and 5 from the MUA Undressed Palette

Shade 4,10,13 from MUA Immaculate Collection palette

Bossy Bobbi, Feisty Felicia and Caught in the act Courtney and Devilish Danielle from theBalm Shady Lady Vol 2

Lancome Hypnose Drama mascara

e.l.f. Liquid eyeliner
Brushes

Tutorial

- First apply your primer and/or eyeshadow base.

- Using a dome shape brush like Sigma E45 add the Shade 5(matte brown) in the crease and blend it.

- With eyeshadow brush like Sigma E55 apply the Shade 10 (blue) all over the lid leaving out the inner corner.

- With the same dome shape brush ( E45) pick up a small amount of caught in the act courtney ( dark brown) and blend it in the outer half part of the crease.

- Next with the same or another dome shape brush apply the Shade 13(purple) in crease and blend it. Build up the color so when it is blended it looks like a slightly dark purple like you see in the picture.

- With a fluffy brush like Sigma E35 add the Bossy Bobbi ( dark blue) to the outer 1/3 of the lid and slightly blend it inwards.

- With the same brush ( E35) pick a small amount of the Shade 4 (black) and darker up the very outer corner.

- Now with another fluffy brush or angled brush like Sigma E70 use some light beige,close to you skin color, eyeshadow (Shade 1) and blend the eyeshadow under the eyebrow.

- With a flat brush like MAC 252 add the Devilish Danielle (champagne color) under the brow at the highest point,in the inner corner and on 1/3 of the lower lid.

- Next add the same purple( Shade 10) with a pencil brush like MAC 219 on the rest of your lower lid.

- To line your lower lash line use small amount of black or grey eyeshadow with a push brush like MAC 212.

- Using liquid eyeliner, line your lid and wing it out.

- Lastly apply your mascara and you are done :)

- Enjoy!

July Favorites

Hello my lovely readers. This is the first time I do favorites post and i don't think I will do them every month as I don't buy new products every month. I've been loving these products not only in July but the past months too. :)

theBalm Shady Lady Vol 2 eyeshadow palette: I love all the color in this palette and have used it a lot throughout  the months of June and July. You can read my review here.

MUA Undressed Palette: This is a gorgeous neutral palette great for someone who loves neutral colors. You can read the review here.

Elf Eyelid Primer: This is a lovely eyeshadow primer. It works the same way as the Elf Mineral

Eyeshadow Primer.

MUA Blusher in shade 2: I wasn't huge fan of blushes until recently. Now that I like wearing blushes I use this one all the time :)

B.U. Rock Mantic Fragrance :  I love this fragrance so much and I've been using a lot these past months. Some people say it smells like Nina Ricci  Nina fragrance.

Priorities Olive Stone scrub: This s scrub I've been using the past 3 months. It works great and it's not one of those scrubs that feel like simple cleanser and don't exfoliate at all,this works great. I bought at Sephora but I don't think you will find it outside Greece.

MAC Lip Pencil in Cherry: It's gorgeous red lip pencil. I wore it few times for night outs.

Sunsilk Hair Conditioner for damaged hair: My current favorite hair conditioner,it really great for my hair. I might do a review about it in the future.

What products are in your July Favorites?
