Bright and Blue! I don't think I've shared my opinion on light and bright blue shades before but I have to say that I've always and still think that powder baby blue and super light blues will never be my first choice of shadow. I still say that powder blue eyeshadow makes me think of cheap asian hookers but I have seen plenty of really cutesy looking girls wearing powder blue as a single shade or part of a pastel look and it works.
I think that in order to pull off a pale powder baby blue, you have to be wearing eyeliner and mascara too, it can't be one of those slick it on and go type of shade. I don't know...I can't do it! However on the flip side I LOVE blue shades, teals, green blues, dark navy blues!

 |
| To pair off with the bright pop teal pop, I used my favorite warm neutral blush from Sleek! Love love the warm flush from this shade suede, I would buy this ten times over if I lost it! |
I often end up pairing a warm cheek or lip color with lighter blue eyes. Like this warm blush or a peachy lip, I don't know why I do this because on hindsight I always end up looking back and thinking that the warm and cool tones clash. I know this but yet I don't know why I keep on picking warm shades for other parts of my face!
Do you have an issue with pale powder blues like me?
What do you think of this look?

I love that bright turquoise on you! That's such a cheerful shade, and definitely goes with the warm blush.
ReplyDeleteYou rock the blue eyeshadows! Love how you wear the natural blush. That's really a nice idea to balance cool and warm tone :D

To be honest, I do think that blue shades are just not that flattering on asian skin tone. I totally get what you meant with cheap asian hookers. LOL.
ReplyDeleteBUT, you actually look good in blue, no lie!! this confirms that you can rock any shades! ^^
Haha you're are so not cheap Asian hookers!
ReplyDeleteBut I have to agree, that for myself I would not
choose a blue tone shadow. However you
look kawaii, don't worry c: Xx
Blue eye shadows looks especially good on brown eyes ^^
ReplyDeletePretty! I wish less people were afraid of blue x
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I used to wear a blue like that on my lashline haha. It kinda reminds me of a mermaid, not hooker! Haha :)

I think it looks more like an electric light blue than baby blue! Either way you definitely don't look like a cheap asian hooker lol! You've made me want to try bright blues on my eyes now, usually I go for dark blues. Btw your skin is flawless <3
