Obsession Du Jour: Pale Sky Blue 5.20.10

If you know me and you have been reading this blog for any amount of time you know I think very bright eyeshadow are a big NO NO in my book. However, i think I need to specify it is not the colors per se but its the combination's that people do.

Do I think "Sunset theme" eyes are elegant or classy? Hell to the NO, I think they are the opposite of that. Tropical Eyes? Oh boy, do not get me started. Oh wait, matching your outfits to your eye combination's? Gag me with my MAC 242 brush! However, do I think a sheer wash of Lilac across the eyes are? Yes. Maybe an electric blue liner accenting your lower lash line? Yes. A deep smokey green to subtlety highlight your eye color? Gorgeous! You get what I am saying, I think color needs to be done in a certain way for me to like it. Obviously, everyone is different and I completely understand and respect that!

Therefore what I am about to say is going to be odd, with that being said, I have been recently very into the pale sky blue color! I don't know what it is but I have been feeling inspired by spring! I a loving sky blue from nail polish to eyeshadow.

Please see below inspiration:
















Please follow me on my next journey to find the "Ultimate" Pale sky blue eyeshadow and nail polish! I already have my eye on a few! ;)

  1. Haha completely agree, I never wear colour unless its just one colour smoked out, and thats once in a blue moon or never!

    Speaking of pale blue, you need Gosh velvet touch liner in ice blue in your life! I think this needs to be in the epic swap. Just sayin.

  5. lol...great post! I love reading your blog:))
    I totally agree..when it comes to makeup you wear out (not just for some crazy photoshoot) all that counts to me as well, is that it looks classy.

  13. i'm more of a neutral color person myself, but when i do color, it's only one color at a time. i mean i like an occasional smoked out deep purple sometimes. but i HATE when people use two opposite colors. like using purple or pink and blue together. you look like the Easter bunny

  14. I have been really into looking for navy/sapphire liners - I think it's all your fault! hahaha but I know I can't get away with the pale blue shadow - I have UD Shattered in the Ammo palette and it doesn't do anything for me. But for blue eyed lovelies like yourself it's gorgeous! I guess I'd go for a cool silver to get a somewhat same effect.

  15. "Gag me with my MAC 242 brush" Love it! I completely agree. I'm pale faced. So, I REALLY can't appreciate bright eye shadow colors!

  16. the new Nars shadow in Burn it Blue
    Ysl acquaresistant shadow in #19 Riviera Blue - this is a great color for almost all skin tones. Just got this - its a gorgeous blue with subtle shimmer

  17. I agree---UD Shattered is a nice frosty pale blue.

    No drag queen makeup for me but I do love color---it's a nice way to change it up a bit.

  18. Everytime I see a "rainbow", "tropical", or "sunrise" tutorial, the fashionista in me cringes and Anna Wintour-esque criticisms come spewing out. They should never be done. EVER. Why would I put it on my eyes if it is so beautiful in nature? Because darlin' it isn't beautiful on your eyes.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I totally agree w/ you! A subtle hint of color is all that's necessary... I just cringe when I see girls who look like they've been attacked by Crayola box lol.

  21. I'm going to have to disagree I think you should wear whatever makes you happy. The problem lies not with the color itself but how it is applied like you said. Because when used in the right way color is a beautiful thing. I think sometimes people are just scared to step out of their comfort zone. I know a lot of people who would like to try different colors but they are scared that other ppl might not think it looks right but who cares what other people say do what makes you happy. Michelle Phan has a video on YouTube called "Moonlight Seduction" and I think its beautifully done and looks very exotic.

  22. Definately agree!
    I am a neutrals gal through and through! But when colour is done right, like just a hint in the inner corner or smoked out with other neutrals it can be hot!
    I really think the first picture is amzing. When you find your perfect pale blue, be sure to post a pic!

  23. i'm with you dollface! bright shadows/crazy mixes of color just don't do it for me! thank you for speaking up! p.s. i think yellow eyeshadows should be banned from all beauty counters. xoxo

  24. Interesting post!!!
    I do see your point, it's easy to make a huge mess when doing colourful looks, that's why I stick to neutrals as well!!!
    But I think that it's a matter of personal taste, and if done right, it can look really nice!

    Although, if it matches the outfit....:S that's just vile! Lol!

  26. I was enjoying a leisurely walk down a tree-lined street in Chicago North when I spotted the nicest shade of light blue, and of all things, on the body paint of a car! I stopped to admire the shade and caught the gentleman staring back at me, smiling.

    Rather than being misunderstood as a hussy or even as a car thief, I made my apologies hastily and ran off, stating: "I love the light-blue color of your car."

    lol...

    At least, here, I won't be caught looking!!!

  28. I love using MUFE aqua eye in 15L smudged a little on my eyes, keeping it simple with a peachy cheek and a slick of balm on my lips :)

  29. Totally get what ur saying w/ the color and eyeshadows...I have been liking the same kind of blue eyeshadow look. I recently bought a NYX jumbo eyeshadow pencil in Pots & Pans and use that as a base and then put Mac's Electra on the lid and it looks really pretty. Kind of like a blue/gray.

  31. You've got me hooked on looking 4 the perfect shade of light - blue also. It is not the same hue we liked as children but more of a sophisticated one!

    Over the weekend, I was looking at You Tube sites, one of which was on Dr Who, and the gal in the piece was wearing a perfect shade of light blue. If I can find the video, I will share it here. It was on Facebook on one of those fan sites!

    This whole thing reminds me of an experience I had when a new best friend had lent me her silvery eyeshadow. I floored the entire neighborhood when I wore it...so, I was thinking what if we mixed pale sky blue with pale silvery dust or mist? What do you think?

    Let's go on with this search. You've got good taste.

  32. the third picture down of the girl with the heavy blue green eye is by pat mcgrath who is really competent with making colour look chic. in the dolce and gabbana s/s show she broke all the rules by teaming lime green or purple or blue shadow with a scarlett lip! somehow it looked amazing - she is the one to look at for chic use of colour...

  38. Quindi continueremo ad aggiungere nuove Breitling replica recensioni lungo il percorso, tra cui ad esempio il Rolex Daytona in oro giallo e quadrante Wimbledon verde (riferimento 116508) o il Rolex Daytona in oro bianco e quadrante blu (116509). Se Hublot replica consideriamo i riferimenti di prodotto che adottano una lunetta in metallo, credo che i due Rolex Daytona più emozionanti e a prezzi ragionevoli, siano le varianti realizzate in Patek Philippe replica Rolesor, come ad esempio il riferimento 116503. Spesso sottovalutato, il Rolex Daytona 116503 è tra i pochi Rolex Daytona a non aver aumentato il prezzo di mercato rispetto al prezzo di listino e, se Rolex decide Audemars Piguet replica all'improvviso di eliminarlo gradualmente, si assicuri che il suo prezzo salirà alle stelle.

  42. SBGE248 costa circa orologi replica contrassegno il doppio rispetto a SBGE201 e rappresenta una continuazione della strategia orologi replica siti affidabili di Grand Seiko di presentare, al Breitling replica mercato internazionale, più orologi esclusivi che prima del debutto omega replica internazionale del marchio erano in gran parte Panerai replica confinati al mercato interno giapponese. L'idea è di continuare a realizzare bellissimi orologi, ovviamente, e Audemars Piguet replica orologi che, indipendentemente dal prezzo, rappresentano un grande valore, ma Patek Philippe replica ci vuole ancora un po 'per abituarsi, a pensare a Tag Heuer replica un Grand Seiko come un orologio da $ 11,500. Non c'è motivo per cui una rolex replica GS non debba esistere a quel prezzo: la sofisticata tecnologia proprietaria, orologi replica così come il livello generale di adattamento e finitura, lo giustificano più che per motivi replica rolex oggettivi, ma ci vuole ancora un po 'per abituarsi, anche dopo diversi anni di debutti di altissimo livello da parte di GS. Attualmente il Grand Seiko GMT più costoso e solo in oro pieno repliche rolex è SBGC230, che è un Spring Drive GMT in edizione limitata "Tokyo Lion" da 100 pezzi, e questo è un orologio da $ 42.000. Se sei sul imitazioni rolex mercato per un orologio sportivo GMT in acciaio, probabilmente non stai guardando questo modello come, rolex falsi da Grand Seiko, SBGE201, e cose come il Tudor Black Bay GMT o GMT Master II di altri produttori Rolex replica (e tutta una serie di altre opzioni, replica orologi ovviamente).
