Denver Broncos Themed Makeup!

It's no secret that I love the Denver Broncos.  It's been almost two years since I last did a Broncos themed makeup look, and I thought it would be fun to do another one.  My first look really only had a pop of blue liner on the bottom lashline, so I really wanted to amp it up this time and incorporate more blue as well as some orange.  It required a little more time and creativity, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Eyes
The eyes are the focal point of this look, so I will take you through what I did and used step by step.  A very important part of this look is blending, and in between each step listed below, I made sure to blend my eyeshadows with a fluffy crease brush.  Before I applied any shadow, I primed my lids with Wet N Wild Fergie Eyeshadow Primer (great dupe for Urban Decay Primer Potion).

1.  Transition shades: I first used Makeup Geek eyeshadow in Beaches N Cream right on top of my browbone.  I went right below that with Makeup Geek Creme Brulee.  Creme Brulee is a beautiful warm, light peachy brown that will help to create the orange color.

2.  Outer corner eyeshadow: I did this before applying color to my lid because I wanted some depth and shape to my eye, but I didn't want to take away from the orange I was about to put on my lid.  I placed Makeup Geek Mocha on my outer crease and blended it inward and just a little bit upward into the outer portion of the crease.

3.  Lid and inner corner:  This is where I had to get creative--I don't have any orange eyeshadows and didn't want to buy anything extra for this look.  I ended up using my finger to mix the bottom three shades in the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Bronze to create a bronzy, orange lid color.  For my inner corner highlight, I used only the top shade of the shimmer brick.

4.  Crease:  I added Makeup Geek Cocoa Bear on the outer portion of my lid and all the way into the crease.  Adding this shade helped to make the lid appear even more orange and nicely blended together all the colors.

5.  Browbone highlight:  I typically don't like to use shimmery shades to highlight my brows, so I used Wet N Wild Eyeshadow in Brulee.

6.  Upper liner:  Blue liner is the most fun part about this look.  First, I smudged just a little bit of L'Oreal Infallible Eyeliner in Black on the upper lashline, and I also used it to tightline.  I then used a thicker line to go over and above the black with ELF Smudge Pot in Ocean Bound.  This is a gorgeous cobalt blue that glides on like butter.  The reason I used black before blue is because I didn't think the blue on its own gave enough drama and definition to the eyes.  I didn't want the black to really be visible, so putting it underneath the blue was the perfect way to add drama to the blue without taking away from it.

7.  Lower liner:  I used Ulta Smokey Eyes Automatic Eyeliner in Cobalt on my waterline.  I then went over my lower lashline with the same ELF Smudge Pot used above and blended it out with a pencil brush.

10.  Lashes:  I used Ardell 110 lashes and put some Maybelline Lash Discovery Waterproof mascara on my lower lashes.

I stuck with warmer shades on my face and a warm nude on my lips to be consistent with the orange on the eyes.  You could also add blue mascara on the bottom lashes (NYX makes affordable colored mascaras) to amp up the blue even more.  I used cobalt blue liner because it's what I had, but this look would also be beautiful with navy blue liner.  

I hope you enjoyed my Broncos themed makeup look!  Thank you so much for reading, and GO BRONCOS!!
