Tantalizing Navy

Whoever said you shouldn't wear blue above the crease because it'll look like an 80's throwback should really give a mixture of turquoise and navy blue a try.  I love this look for a night on the town or a glamorous affair.  



Brushes you'll need:

- MAC #'s 214 (short shader brush), 217 (blending brush), 242 (shader brush), 222 (tapered blending brush), Small Angle Brush (263), 252 (large shader brush), and 116 (blush brush)

Products you'll need:

- MAC Eyeshadows in Vanilla, Blanc Type, Zonc Bleu, Steamy, Surreal, Strike A Pose, Plumage, and Smut
- Nars eyeshadow base
- MAC Powder Blush in Peaches
- MAC Lipsticks in Creme d'Nude and Cherish
- MAC powerpoint eye pencil in Engraved
- MAC chromagraph cream color in Black black


Supplemental: - A brow-filling product - Mascara

Eyes...

[* Apply a mixture of Steamy and Surreal above the crease from one edge of the eye to the other horizontally blending the highlight and lid colors (242).
