Ariel inspired blue smokey eye

I decided to do a smokey eye look with the blue shadows in the Ariel Collection from E.L.F, I just never had a reason to use them as I am kind of afraid of blues. Every time I see someone do a look with blues it always looks tacky! So I took a chance using these blue shadows, and it turned out really great! It's a really understated look, and it is actually really pretty!
Here's what the finished look is like.
And here is what I used to get the look. I used the Nyx palette in Smokey ( I used the navy and white colors), a white eye crayon, and the blue shadow in the High Tide eyeshadow duo.
First you put the white in your corners, then add the light blue color all over your eyes(except the corners).
Apply the navy blue color in the nyx palette on your crease and corners, and blend it out. Then use a thin eyeliner brush to line your eyes with the navy blue, also apply it under your eyes.
It should look something like this.
Then use the white eye crayon to line your waterline. Mascara is optional, I used Voluminous Butterfly mascara in black, but I feel a blue mascara would really complete the look!
This is what it looks like without mascara!
All products belong to E.l.f and nyx, and jordana. I do not claim to own any of these, I am just using their products.
