If eyes are the window to the soul, make them smolder with our navy blue smokey eye tutorial! It’s our favorite sultry look for spring, and navy blue is a shadow that complements any eye color. It’s the perfect makeup to make your eyes pop for prom! Follow the steps below to get this lovely look for yourself!
1. Sweep an ivory colored eyeshadow across the bottom half of the upper eye lid to create the base.
2. Using an angle brush, lightly line the upper lash line with black eyeshadow.
3. With the same brush, smudge the black line you just created in step 2 with a bright cobalt blue eyeshadow. Bring the line down and around to the lower lash line.
4. Concentrating on the outer corner of the top lid, lightly apply charcoal grey eyeshadow to begin the smokey eye.
5. Dab a small amount of black eyeshadow just in the outside corner and up to the crease.
6. Going back to the blue eyeshadow from step 3, smudge the blue to blend against the dark smokey base. The bright blue mixed with the charcoal and black blend to be a nice navy smokey look.
7. Add a hint of champagne shimmery eyeshadow to the inner corner of the eye to create a pop.
8. Finish the smokey eye with a fine line of cream black eyeliner and a few coats of mascara!

This looks like another eye makeup look to try with my Too Faced makeup kit
Super cute! I normally do a purple smokey eye but I'll try this one sometime.
Have to try this! Looks like such a cute spinoff to the regular smokey eye..
I absolutely love navy on the eyes! It makes any eye color pop!
I love this look! I just changed my hair from blonde to red, so trying to figure out what makeup looks best with my new color has been a process. This navy look will look great with my new hair and some new dresses I just bought! I can't wait to try it out!
Looove this, Lulus! I've never thought about adding some color to my smokey eye, and this navy smokey eye is simply gorgeous! I can't wait to try it the next time I go out! Thanks for the great idea and picture-by-picture guide!
Never tried blue before, but I will definitely be trying this!!! :D
Cute!
Love the blue! Much lighter and more spring-time than solid black :)
A smokey eye is a standard evening look, but LuLu's changed it up by using navy for a softer, but striking alternative. What is there to say, but navy is the new black!
