Hello gorgeous makeup junkies! I'm so excited to share this fun, tropical-inspired look with ya'll today. Recently I purchased the "Bahama" Color Your Smile lighted lip gloss from Whitening Lightning, which as you can see, is a super bright turquoise colored lip gloss. Now, this is my first ever blue colored lip product and normally I wouldn't be drawn to a lip color like this, but I've been seeing so many blue lips on Instagram that I just had to try it; let me tell you I am so happy I did!! Now I know not everyone is going to give blue lips a try, because let's face it it's a little out there and in your face, which is totally not everyone's style. However, I feel like if you're looking for a fun and bright Spring lip trend, this one's for you.
For this look I kept the eyes pretty neutral, using matte nude shadows from the Sigma "Warm Neutrals" palette on the upper lid, then adding a fun glittery pop to the lower lash line and some fun false lashes. I used turquoise glitter to help tie in the look, but you can leave out the glitter to keep the look more neutral. For the rest of the face, I used a full coverage foundation to make my skin appear flawless. Then I added a matte powder to set everything and take away the shine. I want to keep the complexion very matte, so I also used a matte bronzer to sculpt my face and add some warmth and color to my skin tone. A peachy/pink blush and some shimmery highlight powder to finish off the face. I applied my brows before I did anything to my face, just filling in the sparse areas, then setting it with a tinted brow gel. I wanted to keep everything pretty matte and neutral, so that the bright blue lips could be the focus (and they def. will be).
Makeup How-To: EYES
1. Brows & Primer
-Fill in the sparse areas of your brows, then set them in place with a brow gel. I like to fill in my brows before I apply any other makeup, that way I'm not worrying about messing them up. I can fill them in, then clean them up with my fingers and my eyeshadow primer or base. Using said primer or base, apply all over your lids and lower lash line to keep your eyeshadow from creasing.
2. Base Shadow
-Apply a matte cream shadow all over your lid, from lashline to brow. This will not only work as your lid and brow highlight color, but will also help your other shadows blend much easier. I used "Sugar Milk" from the Warm Neutrals palette.
3. Transition/Blending Shade
-Blend a matte, medium brown shadow into your upper crease. This is going to help the transition from your next crease shade into the brow highlight. You want the crease to look very soft and blended out, but still defined so don't be afraid to blend and add color when you need to. I used "Cozy" from the WN palette.
4. Crease / Outer Corner
-Blend a warm toned, medium matte brown shadow into your crease and outer corner. I used a brown shadow with an orange undertone, so that it compliments the blue lip gloss. I used "Cinnamon" from the WN palette.
5. Liquid Liner
-Apply black winged liner to your upper lid. You can apply your wing as big or as small as you want.
6. Lower Lash Line
-Apply a turquoise colored glitter to the lower lash line, from inner to outer corner.
7. Tear Duct
-Blend a shimmery nude shadow around the tear ducts, bringing it up onto the inner corner of the upper lid and down into the lower lash line. Applying the nude shadow like this will not only help brighten your eyes, but will also help connect the upper and lower lid so you don't have a weird blank spot.
8. Mascara, Liner, False Lashes
-Curl your lashes, then apply black mascara to the top and bottom lashes, then rim your entire eye with a black liner. Add a dramatic pair of false lashes to amp up and finish the look.
