How to Wear Colour: A Pop of Blue on the Waterline

Before discovering waterproof liquid liner the main focus of my makeup used to be colourful eyeshadow. A terrifying concept for many, surely :)

I still like to incorporate colour in my looks but some just don't work in a monochrome smokey eye situations.

Blue lower lash liner is quite a common feature in the myriads of makeup tutorials floating around the internet but something I've never done before.

I've recently bought an unreasonable number of eyeliner pencils and to justify that purchase I decided to give it a go today.

I tightlined my upper lashline with a black kohl pencil and did a basic three-shade silver-and-black smokey eye. Then I lined my waterline with Catrice Kohl Kajal in 190 Cleopetrol and pressed some Makeup Revolution eyeshadow in Ash from the Give them Nightmares Palette, finishing off with Dermacol Precise Black Black Sensation liner pen and some mascara.

To keep the petrol blues from looking too non-human I used my contour powder (a caramel brown) as a transition shade (adds warmth) and a very blue-toned grey shadows (unifies undertones).

How do you feel about blue eyemakeup, is it a no-no or a staple for you?
Have a lovely week!
