Emphasize Eyes: Blue

In our last complementing eye color tutorial we showed you how to make hazel eyes stand out. Today we’re onto our last eye color focus: blue! We took Sigma employee, Kaitlin, from the wholesale department to be our model. Keep reading to learn more about Kaitlin and discover the best way to make blue eyes like hers take center stage!

Kaitlin has been a Wholesale Program Coordinator at Sigma for almost one year. An average day for Kaitlin involves reviewing orders, account management and email correspondence with resellers to packaging and shipping. “One great thing about Sigma is that there is something new every day!”

When asked what her favorite thing about working at Sigma is, Kaitlin said, “The company’s culture. Every Sigma employee is passionate about the beauty industry and dedicated to building the company’s success. I love being around so many creative and innovative thinkers and working in an environment that promotes creativity and that is open to new ideas.” 

Kaitlin’s favorite Sigma products include:

• The Performance Eyes Kit – “It is great for perfecting a look. My favorite brush in the kit is the E11 Eyeliner brush.”
• The E45 Small Tapered Blending brush – “I use it every day for blending shadow in my crease.”
• The Paris Makeup Palette – “I cannot go a day without using the blush and highlighter. They are my absolutely favorite!”

Now let's get to the tutorial!

*Before starting, we prepped the lids with the eye shadow base in ‘Pose’ (coming soon) using the E60.

1. Apply the shade ‘Act’ to the outer 2/3 of the eye and ‘Grasp’ on the inner 1/3 with the E55 brush.

2. Apply the shade ‘Hitch’ directly into the crease using the E45 brush.

3. Apply ‘Shout’ in between the highlight and crease on the outer part of the eye, using the E25 again. Next, apply ‘Grasp’ as a highlight shade onto the brow bone.

5. Lastly, define the eyes by applying the shade ‘Balance’ (coming soon) on upper lash line and the shade ‘Drift’ (coming soon) on the lower lash line with the E15 brush.
