There is popular saying that an outfit is not complete without accessories. But even after finding the right bangle, layering on multiple necklaces and throwing on a scarf, even the best of outfits can still seem to be missing something. So what is the solution to your dilemma when you cannot figure out what your getup lacks? The answer: blue eyeshadow.
Eyeshadow is an accessory unto itself and a nice pop of eyeshadow can be the cherry on top or the icing on the cake of an outfit. This Fashionista effectively used eyeshadow to tie her whole look together by swiping on a beautiful shade of icy blue over her eyelids. Blue is a very natural color, so you do not have to worry about it clashing with other colors in your outfit. By incorporating blue eyeshadow in her makeup, she was actually able to bring out the blue tones found throughout her top and kimono shawl.
Many are apprehensive about wearing colored eyeshadow in fear of looking too over-the-top. However, by applying only a light amount of shadow, this Fashionista’s makeup is simple enough to wear during the daytime at class or work. Blue is a particularly great color to wear when selecting an eyeshadow because it is naturally flattering for all tones and it does not bring out redness in the skin. Also, blue is the color of summer because it brings to mind long pool days, bright clear skies and swimming at the beach. Fresh, vibrant and perfect for the season, blue eyeshadow is a definite must-have for every Fashionista’s makeup arsenal!
What’s on the BEAUTY BAR? To recreate her look, I recommend a light blue shade of eyeshadow from Urban Decay or MAKEUP FOR EVER. Be sure to line your eyes with a black liquid eye liner and a rose pink lipstick.
