Blue Had Me At Hello #3

When I purchased the Wet n Wild Petal Pusher palette I also picked up the Blue Had Me At Hello palette. The BHMAH palette is also an 8 eyeshadow palette and just as good of quality as Petal Pusher. As I've said before, I'm not a big fan of blue eyeshadow - which this palette is full of - but I thought it was still a good investment and that maybe I'll use blue more if I have more variety. The shades in this palette are very pretty, plus there's a white and 2 blacks which you can't go wrong with.

Because I did the 5 look mini-series on the last palette to help give people ideas for ways to use the palette, I thought I'd go ahead and do the same thing for this palette. I was afraid this would feel like a chore because I just completed a series and I don't love blue, but I haven't had an issue producing looks with this palette at all. That's how great it is and how much I enjoy these palettes.

Series list:

Look 1 - Bright inner crease!

Look 2 - Super soft!

Look 3 - Dark to light and back again!

Look 4 - Starting with silver!

Look 5 - coming soon!

All looks

This isn't the first time I've done a look like this - if you've followed my blog for a bit, you know that. But it's another eyeshadow placement that I really like so I decided to put this palette to use in creating it. 

I started with a pale blue eyeliner as a base (on top of my typical eyeshadow primer) in the very center of my eyelid, and on top of that I placed the lightest blue from the palette. On both sides of that I blended in the teal eyeshadow, leaving some room on the very corners because I then blended the dark blue from the right hand side of the palette. This gave a transition from dark, to medium, to light, to medium, and back to dark again. The camera didn't pick it up perfectly, but you get the idea. For the lower lash line, I used the more matte black on the outer portion, and a smidge of silver on the inner part.
