Hi, everyone, I’m back with a new step-by-step makeup tutorial, and this time I was inspired by beautiful Aquamarine, a birthstone of March. Aquamarine stone has long been a symbol of youth, health, and hope. It has a very pure and clean color that ranges from pastel blue to deep teal.
The color of this wonderful stone is mesmerizing and reminds me of a sea — it can be calm and pale or blustering and bold. This color was created for the young and fresh month of spring, and it will create a very light and beautiful accent for your spring wardrobe!
March Birthstone: Aquamarine Eye Look Step-by-Step Tutorial
What You Will Need:
- Eyeshadow primer
- Your favorite brow product (pencil, pomade, or powder)
- Satin white eyeshadow & shimmering white eyeshadow
- Matte blue eyeshadow
- Blue or black eye pencil (for the crease base)
- Black kohl eyeliner
- Liquid or gel eyeliner (black)
- Mascara & dramatic false eyelashes
- Small synthetic brush & fluffy blending brushes
- Step 1: Prep and Prime
A flawless makeup look always starts with a great base. Apply a high-quality eyeshadow primer all over your eyelids, using your ring finger to gently tap and blend the product into the skin.
- Step 2: Frame the Face and Build the Base
Before we dive into the color, take a moment to fill in and shape your eyebrows using your preferred pencil or powder. Strong brows will perfectly frame this dramatic eye look.
Next, apply a satin white eyeshadow all over the eyelid. Not only does this brighten the eye area, but it also creates a silky-smooth canvas that will make blending our pencils and bold colors much easier.
- Step 3: Carve Out the Crease
Now it is time to create that beautiful, sharp shape in the crease. Take your eye pencil and carefully draw a defined line along your crease.
Makeup Hack for Smaller Eyes: If you have small or hooded eyes, draw this line slightly above your natural crease. This clever trick creates the illusion of a much larger lid space and instantly lifts the eye!
- Step 4: Blend and Build the Aquamarine Blue
Take a small, soft synthetic brush and gently smudge the pencil line you just drew so there are no harsh, skipping edges.
Next, pack your vibrant matte blue eyeshadow directly on top of the blended pencil line to lock it in place and intensify the color. Using a clean, fluffy blending brush, gently diffuse the upper edges of the blue shadow so it fades seamlessly toward your brow.
- Step 5: Highlight and Balance
To make the blue truly stand out, apply a shimmering white eyeshadow to your brow bone. Take your fluffy brush one more time and lightly sweep it over the transition area where the white highlight meets the blue shadow for a flawless, gradient fade.
Don't forget the lower lash line! Take a small smudger brush and apply that same matte blue eyeshadow right along your lower lashes to tie the whole look together.
- Step 6: Liner, Lashes, and Finishing Touches
Let’s add some drama!
- Tightline: Apply a rich black kohl liner to your upper waterline to make your lash root look incredibly thick.
- Wing it out: Use a black liquid or gel eyeliner to draw a sharp, bold winged eyeliner on your upper lash line.
- Mascara: Curl your lashes and apply a few generous coats of your favorite volumizing mascara. For this specific look, I highly recommend leaving your bottom lashes bare; this keeps the makeup looking remarkably clean, pure, and lifted.
- Falsies: To finish up this mesmerizing Aquamarine birthstone look, pop on a pair of dramatic false eyelashes.
And there you have it—a striking, colorful eye look that is absolutely mesmerizing. Don't be afraid to practice that cut-crease shape, as blending is the key to making this look a success!
