If there’s one makeup product I love beyond anything – it’s eyeshadow palettes. I love eyeshadow palettes and I own quite a few of them. I love how they offer countless opportunities and give room to creativity – you can’t say the same of a foundation or a lipstick.

One of my biggest palettes with tons of colours is NYX Beauty School Dropout Freshman palette. It has 32 eyeshadows and 12 colours for face (blush, highlight, bronzer). It’s perfect for someone, who loves big palettes with lots of different colours. It’s also great for someone, who appreciates a palette, that does it all – eyes, face and brows – because obviously you can use the eyeshadows on your brows too.

I thought it would be fun to use this palette four days in a row and combine all the makeup looks in one post. It was also a challenge for myself – owning so many palettes I sometimes forget to use some of them or I don’t give the palettes their opportunity to show their full potential. So here are my four makeup looks done with the NYX Beauty School Dropout Freshman palette.

If you are looking for tutorials, you can find my tutorials done with the palette HERE and HERE.

Look 1 – Classic look with neutrals

Basically a very classic look with neutral colors. I love that shimmer color on my lid! The red lipstick is my go-to.

Look 3 – Lilac & cool-toned

This was actually the first makeup I did for this challenge. Very cool-toned, lilac look. I love purple any day. My skin looked worse here, because I used a very light coverage on that. And also, it looked particularly red that day, thanks to being a woman.

And what do you think – should I do this challenge with my other palettes? I probably should… I might have bought another palette last week, you see…

NYX Beauty School Dropout Freshman Palette

I think with makeup you can use what colors you like. And many colors actually do suit everyone. But for the best results, it’s helpful to know a little something about what colors work best for your eye color.

In this post I will share a makeup tutorial specifically for blue eyes. It’s an easy color to bring out.

Basically you just need to know a little something about complementary and analogous colors. You also need to work with what you have. Are your eyes more warm or cool -toned? If they’re cool, you can use warm colors to get the biggest impact. Or cool colors, if you want your look to be more harmonious.

What colors suit blue eyes?

The complementary eyeshadow colors are bronze, golden and orange. Basically you can’t go wrong with warm brown shades. Blue is cool, so pairing it with warm complementary colors really makes it stand out.

You can also try analogous colors, such as blue or purple. It looks really nice and harmonious.

Another great color for blue eyes is grey. It makes your eyes look super icy blue and it’s great for those, who prefer cool tones.

What if my eyes are blue AND green?

I’m one of those people. Basically you can bring out the blue in your eyes using these same tricks and you can also follow the rules for green eyes, to bring out the green in your eyes. It’s a win win! I find that since my eyes are blue-green and leaning more to warm than cool – I can make the blue in my eyes stand out the most with cool tones such as purple (maybe that’s why it’s also one of my favorite eyeshadow colors).

Makeup for blue eyes

This tutorial is very basic. I used warm brown colors with gold and bronze. The colors really make your blue eyes pop! I also paired this look with a fun blue liner for photos, but you can obviously skip that or replace that with a regular black liner.

Step 1: First, apply a light warm brown shade on your lower lash line and on your crease-area as shown in the photo. Take a darker shade and deepen that color. This is your eye shadow ‘base’. Blend these colors well.

Step 2: Apply a bronze and a golden shade on your lid, half and half. Pat it on to get the most pigment.

Step 3: Apply some light shimmer in your inner corner and line your eyes.

And that’s that!

This makeup and my photo with the visible acne/scarring got a lot of likes on my insta (@charlottaeve). I’m still proudly wearing my imperfect skin – and didn’t want to edit it for this tutorial either. Makeup is about so much more, than being perfect. For anyone suffering from acne: don’t let it stop you from playing with makeup and enjoying it.
