Ombré Blue Eyeliner | Inspired by Shaanxo



As i mentioned in my last post, I recently ordered some blue eyeliners in many different shades. The reason to this was that i wanted to re-create an ombré blue eyeliner look shaanxo did on youtube. So i had a go and i absolutely love it! It was really simple once i got the hang of it and i think is perfectly wearable for a nice summers day or even a festival if your not into wearing a lot of makeup for an every day look. 
The eyeliners i used are all linked in my previous blog post, they are all from fragrance direct apart form one which is a rimmel white eyeliner from superdrug.
Some tips i have if you're thinking of re-creating this look are:
- Put some tape from the outer edge of your eye towards the edge of your eyebrow. This will make it much easier for you to create a crisp wing line and it should help both sides to become even
- Blend! This look is all about a subtle change in colours from white to dark blue, if the transition between each colour is not smooth then the look won't come out as affective. I found drawing over the lighter colour a little with the darker colour made a medium between them so the sudden change isn't so obvious. 
I hope you enjoyed this blog post! If you would like me to recreate any makeup looks or outfits please tell me in the comments!
