Cobalt ombre eyes - 4 shades of blue

I have made this look already earlier on my sister, but photo's didn't come out good so I decided to re-create it again with little changes. I was quite out of my comfort zone - I normally never wear blue eye shadows, because I have feeling that it doesn't really fit with my eye color, but after I saw these photo's I thought that it is not so bad.  Anyway, you can do this look with any eye shadow color you want - purple, green, pink...whatever you like. I really love this shade of blue (cobalt). It is so hard to find it and if you would find it in this specific colour and you would put it on your eyes, it would still look different. Therefore I have used 4 different shades of blue to achieve perfect cobalt color. The point is that you start with the darkest color which you apply lowest (right above the lash line) and then you apply lighter shades on the way up (to the brow bone). The key is to cross those colors a little so the transition will be smooth and almost invisible. If you do that well, you won't even see that there are 4 different colors on the lid.

I started with Sleek Primer Palette, applying blue primer all over the lid with flat synthetic brush. Then I started applying eye shadows - first I applied dark navy blue from Sleek The Original Palette. I put it all along the lash line, from inner corner to outer corner, to approximately half of my eyelid - almost as a very thick eyeliner. Then I put blueberry shadow on from Sleek Candy Palette which is 2 or 3 shades lighter then shadow I used earlier. I started to put this shadow where the dark one ended and little bit over it, so the transition will be smooth without any harsh edges. I applied this shadow all over the lid as well and I stopped where the crease begins. Then I took turquoise shadow from The Original palette and I put it into the crease. When I had the shape I wanted, I blended the edges with matt light blue shadow from the Candy palette. Then I put matt light beige shadow on top of light blue to neutralize all those blue colors so they don't go all the way up to my brow bone. Then I put white matt eyeshadow on my brow bone.

Then I cleaned up fall outs with dump cotton pad and I swept it under my eyes along the lower lash line all the way out towards my brow to create sharp edge. Then I applied white kohl pencil into my waterline and bit into inner corners of the eyes. Then I put white matt shadow on top of it (in the inner corners). Then I put warm matt chocolate shadow all along the lower lash line and out to meet the blue eyeshadow. Then I applied matt black shadow all along the top lash line and I extended it outwards so it darken the outer edge and I applied a bit on the bottom lash line as well.
Then I moved to the rest of the face.
First I applied my primer all over the face, then I put concealer under my eyes and I mixed a bit of it with my foundation and I applied very thin layer all over my face. Then I set everything with a loose powder, I did a bit of contouring under my cheekbones and bit of a highlight on my cheekbones. I didn't use any blush. I applied very generous amount of mascara on my top lashes and I did my brows while it was drying. Then I put a second coat of mascara and I put one coat on bottom lashes too (with different mascara). Then I put a lipstick on and voila - make up ready:-)
