"Aqua Metals"- An Eyeshadow Tutorial


Hey guys! Since summer is almost over and the bright colors are starting to go out of trend, I wanted to hurry and make one more bright eye tutorial before the season of fall comes! This is more of a toned down aqua blue tutorial. I used an electric blue color as the base but then added a cooler smokier effect by using a navy color in the crease. Keep reading for steps on how to recreate this eyeshadow look! Thanks <3

Products Used:
-NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils in "Electric Blue" and "Milk"
- Stila bright baby blue eyeshadow (no name)
- Inglot Matte Eyeshadow #389
-NYX False Eyelashes and DUO Lash Glue

Directions:

Step 1: Apply NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in "Electric Blue" or any blue base you own onto your lids. Blend the edges softly. 
Step 2: Take a flat shader brush and pat any blue eyeshadow onto your base to set it! I used one by Stila from an old palette. 
Step 3: With a matte navy blue eyeshadow, slowly blend into your outer corner and crease. This will tone down the blue and add a cooler effect to the eyeshadow! Using a darker color in these areas add dimension to your eye and gives a more defined look.
Step 4: Take your NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in "Milk" or any white base and apply it to your inner corner and brow bone. White brightens your eyes and gives a nice lift! I applied some onto my waterline as well to make the whites of my eyes appear whiter. 
Step 5: Apply your false lashes. Blend with mascara! Finished!

I hope you thought this simple tutorial was helpful! Tell me how it works for you! Thanks for reading and for all of your support. Stay tuned for more tutorials and posts! Love you guys <3
