Blue challenge - a week of FOTD's

Since I got my Urban Decay Naked palette, I haven't worn anything else, so that combined with the fact that I haven't set myself a colour challenge since the Purple Week that I completed in January (feels like last week!) convinced me to delve into my collection. The challenge that I set myself was to wear blue, and I was inspired by the blue hues in my favourite pieces of jewellery. Obviously I can't wear blue lips and cheeks, so I had to try and incorporate different kinds of blue into my everyday eye make up. Scary!

My favourite looks were Monday and Sunday, which says a lot about me I think - the simpler the better! I don't think I'm ever going to be one of those girls who go wild for colours. I have a friend who can't abide neutral eyeshadows - she wonders what the point of them is - but I am not that girl. I adore neutrals, and actually find it difficult and a chore to wear coloured eyeshadows. Yes, make up is supposed to be fun, but it is also supposed to make you feel beautiful and confident, something I struggled with on some days! Kudos to you if you rock colour everyday - it's damn hard!
