Blue and a colorful haze.

Hello and welcome to a new EOTD!  Today's look can either be a). monotonous or b). chaotic to you. Well, lemme explain...

This look was sort of a stretched out playtime. See, I initially wanted to create a look where the blue liner is the point of interest. The liner I used here will be reviewed in a few days and this look will kinda be my "swatch" for that post so yes, the liner needed to standout. I wanted the liner paired with a colorful inner corner and a browbone highlighter. Easy peasy, right? Well, that's now how it went.

It's been a long time since I played with my NYX pigments so I decided to use them for this look. I used 2 shadows for the inner corners and a gorgeous pink with gold flecks for the brow highlight. However, I reached for another, then another and well, here we are.

So yes, after lining my eyes with the blue liner and setting the lid with my ever favorite Freestyle, I then used a green-gold pigment, Hard Core, for the inner corner, bleeding with almost the inner half of the lid. I felt that it was too plain so I used Bayou, a cornflower blue pigment, and concentrated that on the inner corner of the eye. I figured my browbone could use some color so I used Princess, a light pink pigment that has gold flecks. If you ask me, this worked out really well and I have to say, it's my favorite part in this look. I felt that the other two thirds of my lid was a bit bare so I reached for a pale purple, Violet,  and filled that in, blending it with the green and the pink. I also, very lightly, applied it on the lower lashline. If you're wondering why the pigments aren't too pigmented in this look, it's because that's how I wanted them to be. Instead of packing them on I diffused the pigments to create a light haze of color. As I've said before, I want the liner to standout. The haze of colors just create a background for the liner and hopefully, the shadows weren't able to grab the attention from the liner.
