Bluebell Makeup Look

Step-by-step

1. 1

   Prep and prime lids

   Step 1 of 7

   Apply eye primer to clean lids. For pastel shades, primer is essential—without it, the color will fade to nothing within an hour. A white or nude base helps the periwinkle shade show up true to color.

   Tip: If you don't have eye primer, a thin layer of concealer patted onto lids works in a pinch.

2. 2

   Wash of lilac

   Step 2 of 7

   Using a fluffy blending brush, sweep a matte lilac shade across the entire lid and slightly above the crease. This is the base of the look. Keep it soft and diffused—no harsh edges.

   Tip: Build the color in thin layers rather than packing it on. Pastel shades need patience.

3. 3

   Periwinkle shimmer on the lid

   Step 3 of 7

   Press a periwinkle or light blue shimmer onto the center and inner third of the lid using your finger. The warmth of your finger helps the shimmer adhere and appear more vivid. Keep it on the lid only—don't blend it into the crease.

4. 4

   Soft lower lash line

   Step 4 of 7

   Take the same matte lilac shade from step 2 and lightly blend it along the outer third of the lower lash line. This connects the eye look without making it heavy. Skip the inner corner to keep eyes looking open.

5. 5

   Mascara and inner corner

   Step 5 of 7

   Apply black or brown mascara to curled lashes. Add a tiny dot of champagne shimmer to the inner corners for brightness. Skip eyeliner—this look is about softness.

6. 6

   Dewy skin and pink blush

   Step 6 of 7

   Keep the base minimal—skin tint or light foundation with a dewy finish. Add a soft pink cream blush to the apples of the cheeks. The pink complements the cool-toned eyes without competing.

7. 7

   Pink-nude lip

   Step 7 of 7Almost done!

   Finish with a sheer pink lip—lip oil, tinted balm, or a sheer lipstick. The lip should support, not compete with, the eyes. A pink-nude or mauve shade ties the cool-toned look together.
