For my eye look I used all 4 colours:
- Blue: Applied to inner corner and up to halfway on the eyelid
- Purple: Applied next to the blue up to the outer corner of the eyelid. Applied to lower lashline. Used to blend out blue in crease area bringing colour towards inner tear duct area.
- Pink: Used to blend out black
- Black: Used to darken outer crease
- Highlight: I used a neutral shade from another City Color palette (Browns)
- Other products used in the look included: NYX Doll eye mascara in Long lash, Essence Superfine eyeliner pen
