How do you all use blue eyeshadow?
Share some looks!
Depends on the blue. With navy blues, I find they make for a much softer and less harsh smokey eye than black or really dark brown. I'd put the navy on the light, blend out the edges with a lighter brown and skip liner on the upper lash line.
For teals and so on, I kind of do the same... colour on the lid and brown to blend out and define the crease.
A nice trick I found was reverse smokey eye looks. So you'd keep the lid somewhat neutral and then use the blue as a bottom lashline colour and smoke it out with brown. Gives for a nice alternative.
Oooh, nice! Sounds really good.
I saw these two that looked nice (not that I can duplicate the first lol)

And this reminds me of YSL's blue mascaras and the Bleus Lumiere palette

Blue on the lids usually end up louder on me than I'd like.

Ohh pooey. I'm sure you can. Just practice lol. You have beautiful full eyes but I get what you mean by blue ending up looking louder. It's probably because you have more lid space. So maybe try blue on just half the lid i.e. lashline to halfway and then blend into your crease colour after that. Otherwise, I'd say rock your blues on those pretty eyes!!
those looks are gorgeous. I honestly don't wear blue eyeshadow. I've been running from it.
I love these ideas, I need to practice that reverse smokey. It took me forever to understand what a true smokey looked like. LOL
Ladies, how is everyone?
Exhausted! Yourself?
I'm exhausted too! When I'm exhausted, I shop online *facepalm*
Help me Jesus! lol
LOL Too funny! I'm actually kinda restless.. Trying to make changes. Ya know how that goes.
Hello ladies! Missed you!!!
Count me in on the 'exhausted' group - I feel like the walking dead. Just finishing my month-long Mandarin crash course with finals this week, and it's kicking my ass. At the same time I'm still working part-time and trying to figure out how that 'living in China' thing works. Thankfully I'll go home in two weeks, so looking forwar to that! Everything I hauled lately I had sent to my parents' place, so it'll be like Christmas in July! You can't really buy makeup here, everything important is insanely expensive and comes out months later anyways.
And due to my early morning classes, my MU has been incredibly boring and basic!
Sure do. I'm in a reevaluation phase right now and trying to come up with a new life plan. It's more stressful than I thought it'd be. :/
Adulting really sucks sometimes! *sigh*
