Hurrah, it’s something other than neutrals! And, okay, so maybe it’s not a full face, but points for effort, right?


I personally loved this look. It was super-easy, and the effect was just gorgeous in real life!

For more photos, a product listing, and a how-to, go behind the cut!

How-to:

Begin by priming your eye area. Once your primer of choice has set, blend a medium to dark blue over the outer 4/5 of your lid (Annabelle Blue Hue.) Using a fluffy brush (217,) add a vibrant violet (MUFE 92) to the outer half of your lid, concentrating the colour in the outer V and creating a winged shape, rather than an oval one. Clean your brush off or switch brushes to apply a shimmery pink (Marcelle Minerals Rose Satin) to your inner V, and blend out the violet using a pinked-salmon shadow (Lancome Floralesque.)


Using a black liquid liner or a gel liner (Lancome Artliner,) create a thin line along your upper lashes and create a fine wing. For a bit of added depth, use an angled liner brush to pull a shimmery plum shadow (Aura Science Black Plum) overtop this line. Finally, foil a bright turquoise (Annabelle Blue Hue trio) along your lower lashline and add a fine line of white (NYX Milk) between the violet and turquoise shadows for definition.


Finish with a coat of mascara on your top lashes and glittery liner (Annabelle Plutonium) overtop your turquoise shadow once it has set!

What this would look like without the turquoise:
Also, I found out a super cool thing about Annabelle’s Glitterama liners — they peel off like false lash glue! I am greatly amused.
