Only recently did I discover that bright blue is a nice colorful color and maybe I can make it work for my eyes.
Here's my attempt:
Bright Blue FOTD
eyes closed
with the glasses
eyes closed with glasses
Products used:
Face: MAC nw25 concealer, EDM powder, MAC Gingerly blush
Eyes: Smashbox lid primer, MAC Sea Me shadestick, Fyrianne Mischeivous Puck pigment, Coastal Scents Warm Palette (blue/grey colors), MAC ......liner!!!!lafihe, Essence brow powder
MAC Studio Fix mascara,
Lips: MAC Bare slimshine, MAC 2n lipstick
In order to keep the eyeshadow subtle and not soo bright, I added a soft smokey look and blended both colors together. I kept the bright blue just right on the lid and then blended it out, but it still maintains the blue color. I also lined my eye with a bright blue liner instead of lining it with a black color. I loved how that when my eyes are opened, the eyeshadow is a soft smokey look, but bam! its a whole new color when my eyes are close! I love surprises!
How often do you wear BLUE eyeshadow?

LOL @ the typical asian look, blue eyeshadow and pink/red lips.
I got this mental pictures of this one lady who works at a dim sum place I used to go to. Her make up was just too much.
I think you did a great job using blues. That's a really pretty shade of blue you use. Looks like you did a smokey eye look with a bright blue color.
I usually just wear blue liner on my lower lash line. I don't think I've done a bright blue look before.

I want to try different colors other than brown and black but I just can't make myself since it makes me look like I have puffy eyes in pictures!
It looks tempting to try out though!

I usually stay away from bright blues too! Because I'm afraid it brings out my yellow toned skin even more. I like the soft blue color you used and the eyeliner is awesome! I just got this new palette that I can try to create some daring looks with so bright blues is definitely one I'd like to attempt :D i normally like dark blues like you! :p
I dont like that blue shadow on you, I think the others suit you better!

I like this look, I think its subtle not over the top, but blue is really hard to pull off.you look adorable with glasses :)
LOL @ the typical asian look, it reminds me of this scary makeup an older woman (who wasnt asian, but whatever) was wearing at a Clarins counter recently - think sky blue eyeshadow up to the brow :|
This is super cute! I'm still scared of blue, and am scared to use it other than in dark looks or pops of colour on the lashline. :3
i really liked that look:)i'm not asian but my skin tone is kinda like you maybe i can give it a try too

love that sea color!!! Its so pretty! reminds me of The Lil Mermaid. hehhee Great FotD!
I know what you mean about shying away from blue - it's not only typical Asian, I remember it being ubiquitous in Eastern Europe in the 80' as well! But I think as long as it's bit smoked out, and not paired with heavy colored lipstick, it will look nice :D
I don't use much blue shadow, only now and then, and only dark, navy blue. But it is a nice colour and it looks great on you!
It's so beautiful, I approve
