Askmewhats Version: "April Fool's Day" Blues

Happy April Fools Day Everyone!

There isn't anything exciting about people fooling each other. So I won't do any of those! hahaha I have made a look though, it's April Fool's Day Blues.

I revisited my Laura Mercier quad and I can't believe I didn't touch it for awhile.



How did I achieve this look?


Step 1:

Before anything else, I applied CS Silk White Gel Liner on lid as base. Pat using my fingers.


Using a fluffy blending brush, apply Laura Mercier light blue color all over lid



Step 2:


With a flat shader brush, apply the darkest color from the LM Blue Sky Quad on the lid area, slowly blending outward.


Step 3:


Highlight the browbone and inner corner with any soft brush using my favorite Bourjois Beige Rose.



Step 4:

Line my eyes with CS True Black, wing it a bit, apply the lower lashline too



Curled my lashes and applied mascara



Here's the Look






April Fool's Blues! :)



And what's on the rest of my face?



For the face



MAC SF liquid NC30
mixed with CG TruBlend no.1

For the Cheeks



MAC Grand Duo Blush
in Light over Dark




Top a bit with P&J Face Color 08

For the Lips



Conceal the color of my lips
with ELF Tone Correcting concealer Light
Use In2It lipstick in Fresco


Enjoying the summer?

Happy April Fool's Day!
Don't let people fool you today! :)
Stay Happy!
