Navy Blue Eyeliner
If there's one make up item I don't leave home without, it has to be the black eyeliner or kohl. It brings out my dark brown eyes in an instant! But lately I've discovered that if I wanted a less intense look, navy blue is an excellent alternative.
It's a sophisticated colour compared to the other colourful eyeliners you can find in stores. It's pretty funky yet not too 'out there'. This mysterious shade of blue also brightens up the eyes, I mean, who can say no to that? Just when you think it can't get any better here's another piece of good news... I think the navy eyeliner suits all (if not most) skin tones and eye colours! Especially those who want to bring out their gorgeous blue eyes.
Some dark/navy blue eyeliner tips:
* Wear either on the upper or lower lash line only to avoid looking like you've stepped out from the 80s (unless that is the look you're going for). To balance out the eyes, use black eyeliner on whichever lash line you chose not to apply the blue eyeliner.
* Smudge it on the lower lash line to complement dark, smokey eyes.
* If you've got shimmery brown or neutral eyeshadow on and you want to vamp it up a bit without looking too harsh, this is the perfect opportunity to slide some on your lower lash line.
* Match it with natural coloured lips - nudes, light pinks - to ensure the focus is on your eyes.
If you're wondering whether I've forgotten all about dark brown eyeliner as an alternative to the black eyeliner - I haven't. All those opting for a natural and girl-next-door look should give dark brown a go. Unfortunately, I don't think it suits people with very dark skin tone so that's why I chose to feature the navy blue eyeliner. It's definitely more flexible as I think it can look great on anyone. Depending on how you apply it of course. If you don't already have a navy blue eyeliner in your make up collection I strongly recommend you get one! This colour is great for winter, spring and summer.
