NYX Blues and Curls

Hello!


I had the day off yesterday, which meant I had time to play.  After curling my hair using my flat iron, I busted out some long neglected NYX shadows and created this dramatic blue, smokey eye.

I used:
UDPP
NYX Jumbo Pencil - Milk
NYX White  on inner corners (matte white)
NYX Halaiwa next to white (satin finish baby blue)
NYX Irises next (vibrant satin finish tealy blue)
NYX Black in outer V, crease, along lower lash line
NYX Atlantic to blend edges between black and Irises, and blended into black on lower lashline (shimmery deep blue)
Black liquid liner

Lips are NYX Black Label in Heiress

  3. LOVE the look! Awesome hair too! LOL every time I tell people I curl my hair with my flat iron they look at me funny....but I'm a stylist so it's all good. I curled my dd's hair with it for her first communion. No one believed that it wasn't a curling iron.

  8. Blue can be a difficult colour to pull off but I'd never have thought that while looking at your makeup! So pretty and perfectly blended. The curls look gorgeous too!
