Smokey Blue/Black (aka smokey jazz bar-haha)

On Saturday, I was a guest bartender at a jazz lounge.  The band "Mint Condition" performed and there were two sold out shows.  I didn't think I knew who the band was, until I heard some of their songs.  They're an R&B group.  They really put on a great show and the people there had such a great time!  After each show, the band members sat at a table and did a quick meet and greet to sign CD's and take pictures.  I thought that was pretty cool.  Anyway....here's how my makeup turned out for the evening....my boyfriend named this "smokey jazz bar" lol.


I only had like 30 seconds before I had to rush out of the door....so I really wasn't able to get a good pic of the look.  This was all I had time for lol.  I almost wiped this off and started over with different colors.  I decided to use black with the blue at the last minute and I had already put the blue base and lid color on...so when I added the black e/s, it was hard to keep it from looking too purple or navy.  I had to mess with this a bit and it ended up taking me forever.  Does this happen to you guys??  :-/  I'm glad that I didn't wash it off and start over because it ended up looking good....not my favorite though...I would do a few things different next time I attempted this color combo lol.

Here's what I used:

TFSI
Inglot jumbo eye pencil #85 and NYX jumbo eye pencil in Electric Blue-base
MAC Odalisque-lid
Sephora-swimming pool  no 37-middle lid and lower lashline
MAC Black Tied-crease
MAC Carbon-inner crease and outer v
MAC Electra-inner corners and to soften the black
MAC Gesso-browbone (didn't like, so I added a little UD uzi-which I hated even more, so I think I ended up adding something else but I can't remember lol)
MAC Peachykeen blush and Harmony contour, Pearl highlight
I wore covergirl l/s in Darling and then decided to put Viva Glam Gaga 2 l/s and l/g over it.

I hope that everyone had a good weekend!

  1. This is so so pretty on you! When I was looking at the pictures I was actually thinking how good the highlight color on your browbone looks with the black and blue so it's funny that it was kind of an accident, definitely a good one!
