♕ The Mermaid Series ♕ Colours of the Sea ♕

Happy #MermaidMonday everyone! :D

I have another mermaid look for you today - I made it a couple of weeks ago, to try out more of the Makeup Geek eyeshadows I got for my birthday. I chose to use all the blue and green shades I had, and I also tried to use one of the shadows as eyeliner. This look reminds me so much of the sea - and I named it "Colours of the Sea" as a mermaid tribute to Pocahontas' Colors of the Wind song ♥


I started off, as always, by applying eyeprimer all over my lid (Too Faced's Shadow Insurance Original). I applied Makeup Geek eyeshadow in Poolside on  about 3/4 of the lid - on the remaining quarter, I applied NABLA's eyeshadow in Under Pressure. Those two shades got along so well, creating a simple and gentle gradient. On the crease I applied NABLA's Eternity shadow first, blending it with Poolside and Under Pressure. I adjusted the blending by using MUG eyeshadow in Boo Berry - which I applied on both crease and outer corner, creating a smooth shade. Not really a curved, C shape - yet not a pointy, V shape either... Something in between! As transition shade, I used NABLA's Fossil shadow.


On the lower lid I used a totally different colour/shadows scheme. First of all, I applied MUG shadow in Shore Thing; over it, I applied another shade by MUG - Dragonfly. Getting closer to the lashline, I applied MUG shadow in Neptune - which I'll later use as eyeliner.
On the lashline, I applied (as usual) NABLA eyeshadow in Nocturne. I then adjusted the blending by adding some more Shore Thing.
On the inner corner I applied MUG Foiled Eyeshadow in Pegasus. I am so in love with this shadow ♥___♥


For the eyeliner, instead of my usual black, I decided to go for a blue shade. I chose Neptune for this purpose: I gently "scratched" the pan with a brush, gathered the powder on a small plate and then added some drops of Fix +. By doing so, I obtained a bright, matte blue liner ready to use! *_*
I drew my usual winged line - thicker than usual, actually. I wanted it to stand out!
I applied NABLA's Antique White eyeshadow on my brow bone (as I always do); then I applied a black eyepencil on my waterlines, added false lashes and applied mascara on both upper and lower lashes. And that's it!

This look came out so pretty I didn't want to remove it at the end of the day XD I'm glad I managed to use almost all the shades I got (basically the only one I didn't use are Chit Chat, Fashion Addict and Hopscotch - all on the lilac/purple/periwinkle side of the spectrum). Also, even though I really love winter - this year I am really missing summer and I can't wait for it to come already! Luckily, this look helped and made me feel relieved... After all, sea/summery/mermaid looks are always appropriate, all year round - don't you think? ;D
(And I must admit I wore this look more than once! *_*)

Hope you enjoyed this look!
What's your current favourite eye look?
Also, is domebody else missing summer as much I do? XD

      Merito della mini ring light che attacco al cellulare quando faccio le foto... Fa una luce bellissima e i colori risaltano tantissimo! *___* (Inoltre, questi ombretti hanno colori super-brillanti già di loro!!)
