Dare to Wear Blue with Revlon PhotoReady | Beauty Looks
Do you dare to wear blue? I do. In fact one of my favourite ways to wear blue eyeshadow is a blue smoky eyes. So when Revlon asked if I would like to take on their "Dare to Wear Blue" challenge, I immediately know I want to get some inspiration from my go-to blue eyeshadow look!
For this look, I used the following products:
 |
| Revlon PhotoReady Primer + Shadow in 525 Avant Garde |
 |
| Revlon PhotoReady Kajal Intense Eyeliner; T to B: 001 Black & 002 Blue |
 |
| Revlon PhotoReady Kajal Intense Eyeliner; T to B: 001 Black & 002 Blue |
 |
| Revlon Lash Potion Volume + Length Mascara by Grow Luscious |
Eyes:
- NARS Pro-Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base
- Revlon PhotoReady Primer + Shadow in 525 Avant Garde*
- Revlon PhotoReady Kajal Intense Eyeliner in 001 Black*
- Revlon PhotoReady Kajal Intense Eyeliner in 002 Blue*
- Revlon Lash Potion Volume + Length Mascara by Grow Luscious*
- Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Snow Pink*
- Dior Diorskin Airflash Spray Foundation in 201 Linen
- NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Honey
- Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Exposed
- Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer
- Brows: Benefit Gimme Brow* & MAC Copperplate
Part 1:
- Using a stiff detail brush to apply the blue end Revlon PhotoReady Kajal Intense Eyeliner in 002 Blue along the upper lash line.
- Using the other end of the same liner and apply it in the inner corner and blend it out with finger.
- Pick up the second colour in Revlon PhotoReady Primer + Shadow in 525 Avant Garde with a pencil brush
- Apply that colour in #3 and blend it along the lash line where we applied the blue liner
- Use a flat shader brush, take the third colour in the Avant Garde palette
- Apply the colour in #5 all over the lid
- Take the first colour in the Avant Garde palette and place it in the inner corner on top of the lilac liner to brighten up the eyes.
- Take an eyeshadow that's close to the shade of bronzer
- Sweep that on the crease using a fluffy blending brush as a transition colour. This will warm up the overall cool tone look.
Part 2:
- Using a stiff dome blending brush, pick up the bottom left colour in the Avant Garde palette.
- Place the colour in #1 on the brow bone.
- Tight line with the Revlon PhotoReady Kajal Intense Eyeliner in 001 Black.
- Apply the Revlon Lash Potion Mascara
- Use the blue liner in part 1 and line the lower lash line from outer corner till half way
- For lips, I used Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Snow Pink.
- ~ 9. Check your eye makeup to see if you like it ;)
For me, to wear blue eyeshadow, I like to balance it out with a brown colour so it doesn't look too awkward on my warm undertone. With a slightly dramatic look, I also prefer a neutral lips, these Revlon Super Lustrous Lipglosses are very smooth and non sticky. I really like this Snow Pink one in particular.

This is lovely on you! I would love to be so brave. I wear taupe. But with this post, you have inspired me to try something new - perhaps green. Your technique is excellent.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good on you! but I've tried blue eyeshadow and let's just say that it does NOT suit me lol but I might give it a go with another colour from them!

! that crease shade is awesome. what is it?
ReplyDeleteIt's MAC Soft Brown :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Naghmeh. It has to do with undertone and eye colour too. But the "warming up technique" is transferable. Definitely will work with another colour!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think it will work with green eyeshadow too. I usually go for neutrals too. hehe
