I wore a blue EOTD to a bloggers' meetup lunch a few weekends ago (already?!?) and I snapped some pictures before I headed out the door. It was a day of beauty shopping and swapping and will be in an upcoming post. This look was inspired by my sadly unfulfilled obsession with Chanel's Blue Illusion de Chanel collection currently available only at the Chanel boutique. I dug around for anything and everything I had in blue eyeshadow and this was the result. I was surprised that rather than overpowering my green eyes, these blue shades somehow made my eyes appear greener and, always a bonus, my hubs loved it too...
Shades used L - R:
Skin Food Sugar Dessert Shadow - 16
MAC Frost - Deep Truth
Revlon Colorstay 12 Hour Eyeshadow quad - 18 Azure Mist (discontinued)
What I applied and where:
- Face of Australia primer (matte) blended over the lids
- Baby blue shade from Revlon quad all over lid up to crease
- MAC Powerpoint Pencil (Bordeauxline) on outer upper and lower lash lines
- MAC (Deep Truth) on outer V and lower lash line
- Pale lavender shade from Revlon quad blended in crease
- Skinfood (16) on centre of lids to add shimmer
- Diorshow mascara (black) on upper lashes
This look is a wee bit out of my colour comfort zone but was fun to wear and I've decided that blue actually can be worn as part of a daytime look. If Chanel can do it this spring then why can't I?
How do you like to work colour into your daytime eye looks?
That's it for tonight.
