The Beauty of Doing Nothing

under eyes: Make Up For Ever HD Concealer in 325
eye shadow: NARS Duo in Burn It Blue, NARS Duo in Eurydice
eye brows: MAC Eye Brow Pencil in Fling
eye lashes: Lancome Hypnose Drama
If you want to use crazy colors, but don’t want to look crazy, mixing them with blacks or greys can help because it mutes the brightness.  For this look I applied both shades in the NARS Burn It Blue Duo to the lid from lash line to crease.  I applied the matte shade first and then the shimmer shade on top of that.
Next I applied black shadow to the crease and along the outer corner of the lower lash line.  Since I didn’t use liner for this look I applied the black shadow in the cat eye effect, making it a little more dramatic than I would have if I was wearing liner.  I shaded a little bit of the black lightly over the teal on the entire eye, but then put another layer of the shimmery teal shadow over it to achieve a deeper shade of teal.
