Hi everyone! Let's greet September and autumn with a step-by-step makeup tutorial inspired by one of the most precious and unbelievably beautiful gemstones Sapphire. In the Middle Ages, people believed that Sapphire represents loyalty and trust and it can protect the people you love. The rich blue Sapphire color looks especially beautiful on dark blue, gray, and green eyes. Follow these easy makeup steps to recreate this eye look yourself.

How to Do Eye Look Inspired by Sapphire Stone?


1. Start your Sapphire makeup with an eyeshadow primer. Evenly apply the product all over your eyelid and blend it with the help of your ring finger. Eyeshadow primer will help your eye makeup last longer. Fill in your eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil or special matte eyeshadow.

2. The next step is to create the shape for our future blue wing. Lightly sketch the shape with a black pencil and don't worry about the mistakes or mess, we are going to clean it up a little bit later. Fill in the shape till the middle of the eyelid. Blend the edges with the help of a soft synthetic brush.

3. Now it is time to apply matte blue eyeshadow on the top of the winged shape we've created. Use a dense natural eyeshadow brush and dab the color all over the pencil. You can use shimmer eyeshadow instead of matter, as you like more.

4. The next step is to apply light blue eyeshadow or loose pigment and a highlighter on the inner part of the eyelid. Don’t forget to blend the transition between the colors with a small blending brush. Use concealer to clean up the edges of the wing.

5. Apply a black liquid or cream eyeliner and tightline the upper waterline with a black pencil. For the lower lash line apple the same dark blue eyeshadow. Finish the Sapphire eye look with some mascara and a pair of false eyelashes.
