I've recently developed a strong appreciation for the combination of brown and blue eye makeup. It's an unexpected pairing. One wouldn't think it would work so well, but the blue adds dimension to a brown smoky eye, as well as a vibrant pop. I am particularly fond of the blue glitter liner used here by Xteener. It's a beautiful shade of blue, and the pairing with the brown keeps the whole look sophisticated rather than tacky. Personally, I've never had the personality that could carry glitter liner, but if you can wear it and rock it, I say go for it, particularly if the end result is as refined as this. For a more subdued look, though, you could also try brown shadow paired with sky blue, as seen at Elle's Video Star.

That pop of bright, glittery eyeliner draws the eye and prevents the smoky browns (nicely blended) from looking hooded—I'm always excited to find new possibilities for eyeliner.
ReplyDeleteThe use of a pencil for a gel liner! Great idea. You can sharpen with every use to keep things hygienic.
That's a great look.
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to get a bright liner now.
