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!

Make Up Haul | 1

 Recently I watched a video on youtube by 'shaanxo' who created an amazing blue ombre eyeliner look. This inspired me to have a go at it my self, however there were 2 problems. One being I don't own any blue eyeliner, and two, it is hard to find 4 different shades of blue eyeliner in your average high street store. So to resolve these problems, my friend introduced me to an amazingly cheap website which has all kinds of things on it. 

This website is called http://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk. I know what you may think, "thats just a perfume store surly?" which is what i thought two, however it has a reasonably wide range of all kinds of beauty products, and the majority of them are discounted at all different prices! 

Finally, to get on with my haul, here is a list of all the products i purchased:

• Astor Perfect Stay 24 Hour Eye Pencil (Deep Purple)
• Astor Perfect Stay 24 Hour Eye Pencil (Intense Blue)
• Essie Nail Polish (All Tied Up)
• Manhattan Pastell Pretties Eye Pencil (Heart of Grass)
• NYC Automatic Lipliner Pencil (Naughty Nude)
