Master Classes

- Next, apply a foundation to match your face. If necessary, secure it with powder. Apply your chosen blush. Pale pink and cream variants are best suited to the blue shade of the shadows, but it all depends on the image as a whole.

An excellent solution would be a combination of black, gray and brown shades that can be applied to the outer corners of the eyes and shade them up to the middle of the moving eyelid. The middle should be complemented with a selected shade of blue, it can be shiny or dull. Lower the eyelids with a black pencil and blend. To complete eye makeup should be using classic French black arrows.
