1. Prep your eyelid using an eyeshadow primer.
Squeeze a pea-size amount of eyeshadow primer onto your ring finger and gently dab it onto your eyelids. The pea-size amount will be enough for both eyes. I like using Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion for $24.00.
2. Apply a neutral eyeshadow to eyelids, creases, and brow bones.
You will want to stick with a soft, neutral shade since the teal on the lower lash line will be your pop of color. I like Mary Kay's Mineral Eye Color in Spun Silk ($8.00; as seen on right). It is a nice shade of nude with a hint of shimmer.
3. Line your upper eyelashes using a brown eyeliner.
Using Mary Kay's Eyeliner in Deep Brown ($12.00), apply a thin line to your upper lash line.
4. Rim your lower lash line in teal.
Take Mary Kay's At Play Eye Crayon in Teal Me More ($10.00) and line lower lash line. For a more intense teal, go over the line 2-3 times. The MK eye crayons can be built up so you are free to have your color as intense as you want it.
5. Kick up the glam with mascara!
Coat eyelashes with Mary Kay's Love Lash Mascara in I Love Black ($15.00). You can curl your eyelashes using an eyelash curler. I like the Shu Uemura brand ($20.00).
6. Finish the look.
Apply Mary Kay's True Dimensions Lipstick in Natural Beaute ($18.00).
What I like about this look is that it is very easy to put together and is a fun way to play with color. It also transitions nicely into the early fall. But my favorite aspect of this makeup look is that anyone can wear it! Depending upon how blue you want your lower lash line, you may want to consider getting a good eye makeup remover. I've tried a number of oil and oil-free makeup removers, The best one I have found is the Mary Kay Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover ($15.00). It has to be one of my favorite MK products. I previously used a major drugstore line but found that it took several passes to remove a fraction of what the MK remover does. The MK oil-free remover is worth the investment.
