Sapphire Shock Tutorial

Hey, guys. So, today I'm going to be doing a sparkly royal blue glittery magenta sort of look. It has a lot of different colors going on, so I'm just going to zoom you in and show you what it looks like up close. So, this is what it looks like up close, up close and personal. And the top, the lid color is like a royal blue, like a sparkly royal blue color, and then I have a little bit of a magenta color buffed into the crease and then some glitter on the lower lash line with some pretty intense long, long lashes. Look how long they are. They hit my eyebrows. All right, so that's the look up close.

So, I'm going to take you through all the steps so you can recreate this look on yourself. Keep in mind that if you do not have the same products that I have, feel free to use whatever you have that's similar in your current collection. Don't feel like you have to go out and buy all this stuff and all that. And also with the color scheme, if you feel that greens look better on you instead of the blue, feel free to use different colors and use what you feel looks best on you.

All right guys, so let's get started. So I already applied my Urban Decay Primer Potion. You can use any eye base that you have. And then next I'm going to use a really, really dark like really intense blue. Really dark and really intense blue. This is from Illamasqua and it's called Superior. It's one of their liquid metals. So I'm taking a synthetic brush and I'm going to pick it up. If you have a brush that has natural hairs, that works too. It just applies it a little bit more sheer. So, with the tech one or I guess synthetic bristles, it packs it on a little bit thicker and a little bit more rich. So we're going to tap this on our lid little by little until we cover the entire lid space.

Now, once we have our entire lid covered, notice how I'm bringing it up above my crease just slightly. The highest point of where I'm going to bring the Superior eye shadow is right up here in the center of my eye. So, if you look straight forward and you see like the middle of your pupil, bring it up above there. Just because I really want to emphasize the round shape of this blue. So, just bring it up slightly above the crease. Then we're going to take a blending brush and this is kind of like a smaller, tapered blending brush. I'm barely, barely going to tap it into that Superior, and then we're going to buff that out very, very lightly. Now the blending doesn't have to be absolutely perfect at this point. We can always go back and blend it out and we're going to be adding a light purple color. Notice how we have that on this side, it's light purple. So we're going to be buffing that into there, into the blue color in a little bit. So I'm going to come back to that, but for the meantime I want to set that cream eye shadow.

I'm going to be taking another eye shadow from Illamasqua. This is called Alluvium and it's a pure pigment but it's very, very sparkly. So it looks really pretty against the dark blue color. So, again we're going to apply this all over the lid just very, very gently. Then move it up toward the top of the crease. And I'm still going to follow the shape that we created with that Superior eye shadow, and then we're going to buff it out.

Now, I'm going to take Hepcat, and this is a magenta color so if you have anything similar to that go ahead and grab that. I'm going to take a really, really big blending brush, I'm going to pop it in there, and I'm going to buff it into that blue color very, very slightly. Now since this is a pressed eye shadow or I should say powder eye shadow, we're buffing it into the top part of that cream eye shadow. So, in order to avoid creasing and streaks and all that, I'm going to use a really, really light touch. So I'm barely, barely touching the brush on my skin, and this is going to take a little bit of time. But definitely be patient with it and then it will blend out really, really seamlessly. Kind of like how we have it on this side, so you can't really tell where the cream eye shadow stops and begins and the same with the powder eye shadow. So what you want to do as well is try to blend it out, try to blend out the cream eye shadow before you actually put on the powder eye shadow. That will help the process along and make it much, much easier.

Now that that is blended out, go ahead and apply your highlight color. And then I have a very, very soft subtle pink like right here. It's basically acting as my highlight color. I don't have a real, real subtle pink eye shadow, so I'm using my face powder. This is called Alpha Girl and it came out with the Heatherette collection. I'm using this on my cheeks. But I'm going to pop my blending brush in there and then we're going to use this as our highlight color and also as a transitional color. So we're going to blend it out from the Hepcat to this light pink color and then it will fade up toward the brow. And again just use a really, really light touch with your brush and everything will fade out really, really easily. So it takes a little bit of time, but I promise everything will fade out really, really nicely.

I'm going to go back to my Hepcat and take an angled brush, the reason I'm using an angled brush because look how thin that guy is. I want to use this as a really, really precise placement so I'm going to put this underneath my lower lash line right out through here. Be very, very careful with a magenta color like this because it can make you look like you're crying. So if you feel that this color just makes you look like you've been crying or you have allergies or your eyes are just irritated, then you can use a purple color or something that isn't so pink toned. So I'm just going to buff this out and then we're going to apply a violet color. This is violet pigment from MAC. It's in pressed form. I had somebody press it for me, but this usually comes in a loose powder form. I'm going to put this right in through here and then buff that. I'm kind of like overlapping it, overlapping it with the Hepcat and then buffing that out.

Then I'm going to take a little bit more of that sparkly blue pigment, well it's kind of like a cobalt sort of pigment, and I'm going to buff that right out through here. So I kind of want it to fade from the magenta color to the blue.

Next I'm going to take a glitter eyeliner, this is from NYX, they're probably like $2 or $3. This is in the color Disco Queen. It's like a multidimensional color. It's not like a green glitter or a pink glitter or anything like that. All right. Then we're going to put this on our lower lash line. Now I'm going to put on some black eyeliner on my lower water line, my top lash line and then some mascara and false lashes.

For my false lashes I'm using these guys, and these are from MAC. I don't know what number they are but they're really super duper long. Look, when I look up they look really, really long. So I'm going to apply these, and then I'll show you a close up of the finished look when I have my false lashes on.

Okay guys, so this is what it looks like, and the lighting's a little off. It looks like I have more eye shadow on this side than on this side but it's just the lighting. So yes, yes, yes, that is what it looks like up close with the lashes and the liner and all of that good stuff.

All right. So, I'm going to show you what is on my lips. Now for the lip gloss I'm using two separate lip glosses. This one is from NYX and it's called Mauve and then on top of it I have Pure and this is from Glam Couture. You could get it from JennisseMakeup.com. So, I wanted this one initially, but I felt that it was a little bit too pink and it was kind of competing with the bright colors I have up on top. So I toned it down a little bit with this. So, if you have a lip gloss that's similar to these colors, basically anything that's nude, anything that's neutral that still kind of brings out your natural pink flush of your lips.

So, anyway I hope you guys like this. I hope you give it a try. I hope you guys are having a fantastic day. I'll see you guys later. Bye.
