If this teal upside down eye makeup looks familiar to you it’s because this is actually the makeup look I created when I took over the e.l.f. cosmetics Snapchat last month! The entire experience of taking over their Snapchat account for the day and being able to interact with so many of their fans was one of the most fun blogging things I’ve ever done. Doing a step by step makeup look with one hand in 10 second increments on the other hand was quite the challenge, I applaud my fellow bloggers who post Snapchat tutorials all the time, I don’t know how you do it! BUT if you guys liked it I’m totally up for doing it again on my Instagram stories (which thankfully has the hands free feature so it’ll be a little easier!).
Onto this upside down eye makeup…I’m always up for trying new makeup trends, and while I don’t always love them, this is one trend I can absolutely get behind! I think the bold flash of color under my eyes instantly draws attention to them and who doesn’t love that! I went for a bright teal shade, but this trend would also look great with purple, rose, blue, orange…pretty much any color! And don’t be afraid to experiment a little, throw the traditional complimentary color rules out the window and opt for something a little more daring.
