Holiday Makeup - Soft Blue Eye Makeup

Holiday Makeup! Soft Blues!

I guess everyone is on holidays at the moment. Not too long til Christmas as well! I still haven't gone out to do my Christmas shopping! I'll do it last minute hahah! Anyways I've been loving the colour blue these days so decided to use my 1st edition 120 palette to create this look below:

I only used 3 shades of blue to achieve this look but I wouldn't have made it without the use of a good eye primer (urban decay primer potion) which is what you'll need especially when your using the 120/88/168 palettes because it really makes the colours pop and helps with blending!

Anyways I bought my palette off eBay for $9.87 (includes free shipping) here but you can purchase the same EXACT palette from Sedona Lace, Coastal Scents and BH Cosmetics. You just gotta pay more!! I try to tell everyone that they are all the same so you don't waste your money paying an extra $20-30 for something you can buy off eBay. They all have the same pigmentation, made from the same manufacturer BUT the only difference is that they slap on their own brands on the palette.

Anyways one of the girls on YouTube asked me to do a tutorial with the blue colours from the palette so I came up with this look. I think it'll look gorgeous on all skin tones. I cannot stress enough about good eye primers though!!! Make sure you use a good one. Don't use E.L.F or Hard Candy eye primers because they are not good. Go for Urban Decay, Two Faced, MAC Paint Pots, Medusa or Lime Crime even. They are good in the sense that they are sticky! Helps keep the eyeshadows on the lid without it creasing. That is what you want.
