Caribbean Blue Eye Makeup + Soft Lips


Hello beautifuls! I'm feeling a little blue-ish with this tutorial I'm going to share with you. It's an appropriate look for going to the club, the beach or any socializing event. I won't advocate this look for work though. Unless you are that one person who likes to go over the top. It was quite tough for me to put together the colors since I'm not that familiar with colorful makeup. I go more for the neutral kind of eyes. But it was fun getting out of my comfort zone and the blue really did compliment my eyes.

Step 1: Using the two brown shades (1 & 2) as the transition colors, blend it above the crease to create depth.

Step 2: Apply a white based primer or a concealer onto the eyelid only where the blue shadows will be added.

Step 3: Place the two brighter shadows (3 & 4) on the inner 2/3 of the eyelids.

Step 4: Using a deeper blue eye shadow (5), apply it on the outer third of the eyelid.

Step 5: Blend the two colors together going into the crease to get rid of any harsh lines.

Step 6: Next, smear the purple (6) on top of the deeper blue and blend it with the fingers.

Step 7: Repeat the steps on lower lash line as done on the eyelid. Place the golden-shimmery shadow (7) on the tear dot and the brow bone to brighten the eyes. Add a winged eyeliner and apply a black eyeliner on the waterline and smoke it out.

Step 8: Apply mascara and you're done!


A review was done on the Coastal Scents 88 Original Eye shadow Palette. A link will be below to view it. If you've have already read that review or you own the palette then you are aware that the bright colors are difficult to work with. I used a dollar store concealer which is by L.A. Colors. I have it in it's lightest shade and it is very sticky. It is the perfect product to work as a base for the brighter colors. The concealer isn't liquidy. It's more of a creamy texture. However, if you are using a liquid concealer then I suggest you wait for it be almost dry and then apply the colors onto it. There will be a huge chaos occurring with the concealer and the eye shadows. Do not set the primer or concealer after applying it because there will be no more sticky base for the shadows.

If you love wearing falsies then it will be a great addition to spice up the eyes some more. Hopefully, someday in the future I will begin to wear them but as of now I love showcasing my natural lashes.

Moving onto my favorite part, the lips!

Step 1: Apply the L.A. Colors Moisture Cream Lipstick on the inner rim of the lips.

Step 2: Blend the product onto the entire lips and line with the L.A. Girl Endless Semi Permanent Auto Lipliner Pencil.

Step 3: Place the pink tinted lip gloss all over the lips.

Step 4: Apply the L.A. Colors Jellie Gloss on the middle of the top and bottom lips.

Step 5: Rub the lips together to spread the lip gloss evenly.

Step 6: Voila! The look is complete.


I used a combination of lip products to create a soft lips since I wanted all the attention to be drawn to the eyes. I also have dark pigmented lips which creates another reason as to why I made the concussion. If you have lighter pigmented lips then just add some lip gloss or use any other neutral lip shade to compliment the look. Don't go too dramatic on the lips.

All  the products used are pretty affordable as usual.
