Makeup Tutorial: Turquoise Smoky Eye Makeup Look

February 19, 2012

I know you guys love step-by-step makeup tutorials so here is a smoky look using a blend of turquoise and brass. Perfect if you are looking for a bit of color for spring!

Turquoise Smoky Eye Makeup Tutorial

Step 1. Using a synthetic brush (MAC 252 Larger Shader Brush), apply an aqua-colored cream eyeshadow (MAC Fluidline in Delphic) over the eyelid as a base.

Step 2. Darken the crease with a deep blue-green shade (the right side of NARS Dogon Eyeshadow).

Step 3. Fluff out the edges with a blending brush (MAC 226 Smaller Tapered Blending Brush).

Step 4. Apply a metallic yellow-gold color (left side of NARS Paramaribo Duo Eyeshadow) onto the inner 1/3 of the eyelid.

Step 5. Pat a frosty teal color (MAC Aquadisiac Eyeshadow) onto the center of the eyelid and blend back and forth so there is a slight gradation.

Step 6. Using a black pencil eyeliner (CoverGirl Vivid Impact Eyeliner in Midnight), draw a line along the upper and lower lashlines.

Step 7. Smudge out the lines with the smudger tip for a softer look.

Step 8. Highlight the brow bone with a shimmery white gold color (MAC Pollen Eyeshadow).

Step 9. Curl lashes, apply mascara and fake lashes. Re-line the eyes with the black pencil eyeliner.

Step 10. Finish with a dab of the brassy color onto the tear duct and pair with a hot pink gloss (Milani Haute Flash Shimmer Lipgloss in Flash). Done!

    Are there any MAC dupes for NARS dogon eyeshadow?

    • Reply Phyllis October 21, 2012 at 4:47 pm

      Hi Rina,

      MAC Club and Bobbi Brown Charcoal are the closest dupes to the two shades in Dogon.

    what brush are you using to apply dogon?? the mac 252?

    • Reply Phyllis October 21, 2012 at 4:44 pm

    Thank you for this makeup tutorial. I can’t wait to try this Turquoise Smoky Eye Makeup Look! It looks good on you! I assume, this look is great especially at night if you’re partying with your friends or having a night out. ‘Cause the color and the blend of the shades are catchy during this time of the day. I love your lashes! Wanna have one, where’d you buy it? Thanks!
