Interestingly enough, I hardly see most ladies use blue eyeshadow. Most them stick to the conventional brown. When I asked a few girlfriends why they do not try using blue eyeshadow, they told me that they thought it hardly complements people and it probably would looked SIA-ish (read: OTT) on them.
I myself love colours. I would go from pink to brown to gold to green to black to purple anyday! And I decided to try out a blue look to see if it is true that blue was not a good look for most people.
You know how people say that you shouldn’t match your makeup to whatever outfit you’re wearing? Heck it, I say. I for one would match my makeup to my outfit everytime!
Outfit of the day: White-blue dress + ribbon belt + puma bag + white ribbon sandals.
Met up with Isaac, Fidelis and Esther and headed over to Milly’s.
I love this dress so much that I bought another in yellow. 😉
So here’s my blue eyeshadow look.
I did a bit of a gradient. Started with whitish silver and then blended with a baby blue and a darker blue. It’s VERY IMPORTANT to blend!
I thought it looked quite okay. What do you think?
What other eyeshadow colours would you like me to try? I recently did a pink-green, pink-blue, silver-turquoise look and am interested to try out more combis.
Do comment and let me know and I’ll try them out! 😉
I’ve never seen yellow-brown, purple-silver combis. I wonder if it’s possible.

That certainly is a very pretty dress you have on 🙂
Anyway, I think that everyone can carry any colour they like, its just a matter of blending and the shade of colour

Wishbone: Sounds interesting! Purple-silver should be doable. Yellow-brown? Hmmmm. I hope it wont turn out looking like LS or mud!
rinaz: awww thanks dear! I also think that anyone can carry off any colour but it seems like theres a lot of people who would insist that they can’t carry off certain colours! Like a few of my friends would never do green/blue/purple. I have yet to try a rainbow look, have you tried it yet? 😉
wishiamgreek: Dark blue? Sounds doable! It could even look smokey, what do you think? hmmmm
Thanks for the suggestions folks! I’ll try them out soon and will post them up!
