Eyes of the Day - Smoky Blue

So it's late at night and I'm about to change my bedsheets. Naturally this seems like a good time to start playing with makeup. I thought I would try something which I normally shy away from, namely navy blue and blackened colours. I don't think they flatter me at all but I thought I would give it a go. Also this is the first time I've tried doing macro shots with a flash. I'm semi-happy with it but obviously the pictures aren't perfect!

I started with Urban Decay's 24/7 Liner in Binge, which is a navy blue. Over that I applied Barry M's Dazzle Dust in 98 which I believe is Petrol Black. Very pretty shadow. Then I dabbed a tiny bit of Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy and patted Fyrinnae Biker Chic over the top. I added a bit of silver and blue from the Sleek Acid Palette and a matte skin colour to highlight.



Products used:

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Binge - all over lid & lower lashline.
Barry M Dazzle Dust 98 Petrol Black
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Fyrinnae Biker Chic
Sleek Acid Palette (silver and lightest blue colours)
Asda George 4 Colour Eye Palette in 01 Chestnut (matte cream) - highlight

I do like this look, I love the sparkles and the contrast between the almost greasy lid and the matte highlight. However I'm still not sure it's for me. I think it would look beautiful on brown eyes though!

Hope you like it.

    I love the 'greasy' smokey eye thing. Lovely! I start playing with makeup at the most random times as well!

    Lol, I do the opposite, I wake up at like 8am and start doing makeup. I guess people would probably find that just as strange. I commend your adventures into dark and smokey territory, it's not the easiest look to make look nice but you managed to pull it off.
