Cerulean Sins

Don’t shoot me for the title reference. I was inspired by this eye on Pinterest. Mine isn’t an exact replica, but I think I could manage an exact if I did liquid for the black, tightlined, then pencil, and then finished with the teal eye shadow.


Eyes:
L’Oreal Cream Shadow in Endless Pearl (I should have used TFSI and stuck a skintone shade on top of it. I can use Endless pearl as a matte highlight, but stuff transfers onto it). – lid
Too Faced Perfect Black liner – upper and lower lash line, upper and lower waterline.
Fyrinnae Catrina Cabaret – applied with brush along the upper and lower lash line
MAC Blackberry – to define brows
Hard Candy 1000 Lashes Primer
Urban Decay Cannonball Mascara

Face:
Make Up For Ever HD foundation in 110 Porcelain
Make Up For Ever Finishing powder

Cheeks:
MAC Azalea Blossom
MAC Vintage Grape

Lips:
MAC Fusion Pink (for this morning)
MAC Candy Yum Yum (for this evening)

How would you wear liner like this? I’d love to know :)

    I’ve got to say, I think this is one of my favourite looks I’ve seen you do. It’s so simple yet it still has so much impact. Saving this to try myself :)

      Thanks! I found it super sexy and yet, very easy.

    I love how simlified this is because I’m a bit of a makeup newbie. And it looks like it will work on my very small eyes. Also, you’re hair clips are awesome.

    Love the look and the book of the same name. I actually have a copy of Cerulean sins that’s signed by Laurell.

      Very cool!

    Oh gosh, that Candy Yum Yum looks amazing on you. Still upset that I couldn’t get it.

      Did you see Morgana Cryptoria’s matte hot pink shade she made that’s very similar?

    I always like the way a simple dark blue eyeliner looks. This is great on you. It’s funny, the word/color Cerulean always makes me think of that scene in “The Devil Wears Prada”

      Yay! I think you could classify this as a sexy smoky type eye.

    Love this! I’m going to have to try it myself, it’s so sultry :D

    • Phyrra January 24, 2012 at 10:15 pm #

      Definitely play with it :)

    I like where you were going with this a lot, Catrina Cabaret is a very pretty color. I totally have the same issue with liner-only looks, though. It loves to migrate up onto my lid if I’m not wearing some kind of neutral-ish shadow (I guess it’s the oils, though I don’t have particularly oily lids) I kind of want to give this a try with my normal old black liquid liner and my Stila smudge stick in Peacock (I think it’s called Peacock. If it isn’t, it should be)

      If I’d put on a nude shadow, on top of the cream shadow, I think it would have been ok. The cream shadow acted like a sticky base, and since I have very hooded eyes, some of the color transferred.

    This is so pretty! I love the contrast of your eyes and the shadow :)

    This is gorgeous! It’s all smoky and awesome, but it’s not over the top or anything. I’m going to have to try this.

    I have to say, I like the simple effect of a dark liner all around w/ your eye color :)
