COLOR SPOTLIGHT is a monthly series on Sifa’s Corner. Every month I show 10 or more products featuring one specific color or products in the same color family. The color I chose for AUGUST is BLUE!

BLUE is the color of depth and stability…It calms our mind and also shows loyalty & confidence. The particular shade of blue I am going to concentrate on today is from the darker side of the color spectrum.

MOTIVATION:

This liquid liner can be best described as a “peacock blue” with golden-green fine shimmers. If you want to spice up your liner or eyeshadow game, you should definitely try this out.

Giorgio Armani eye tint fluid eye color film-

MINUIT 2:

This eye tint was released earlier this year. It looks like a lip gloss at a glance, but it’s a liquid to cream eyeshadow. You can apply it with the wand provided or your fingers. This particular color is a deep navy with subtle dark shimmers. It looks like a satin finish when swatched.

With intense color payoff and great formulation, Colourpop shadows are something to try out if you haven’t yet.

MAC dazzleshadow- GET PHYSICAL:

This is described as “Purple with light blue sparkles”. I included this color because it’s a very pretty transition between purple and blue. Depending on the base, you can change the intensity of the blue-purple color balance.

This is a rich blackened navy with a pearly finish. If you apply it with a damp brush, the color intensity increases.

YSL couture variation 10 color expert eyeshadow palette-

2 TUXEDO:

Released for Spring-2015, this is a really pricey palette. If you are familiar with the allure of higher-end brand products, you can have a look at this palette. Most of the colors are cool toned and they perform better with a good base underneath or applied wet.
