Hi beauties! Today we’re diving into my ultimate deep ocean blue glitter eyeshadow look—this one’s all about head-turning party sparkle, with that cool, boss-lady edge that makes you stand out the second you walk in. Think galaxy-level shimmer on lids, sharp cat-eye liner, and a warm nude lip to balance the cool tones—let’s get into it!

Key Highlights

Deep Ocean Glitter Eyes: The docolor Blue Gemstone Palette’s high-shine glitter is insane—it looks like I glued a galaxy to my lids under party lights.
Sharp Cat-Eye Liner: A tiny 2mm wing pulls the whole look together, instantly amping up that cool, boss-lady energy.
Long-Wearing Glowy Base: Mixing Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter + Urban Decay Face Bond Waterproof Foundation gives a skin-like glow that stays put all night (no mid-bounce creasing here).
Fluffy Defined Brows: A deep brown brow gel keeps arches in place—even when I’m dancing like no one’s watching.
Warm Nude Gloss Lip: A toffee nude balances the cool blue eyes, keeping the look glamorous (not intimidating).

Look Breakdown

This is the look for when you want to walk into a party and turn heads (in the best way). The base is a glowy, skin-like finish (thanks to Charlotte Tilbury + Urban Decay) that covers redness but lets my natural texture peek through—no cakey mess. The eyes are the star: warm brown matte from Urban Decay lays a soft base, then docolor’s deep blue glitter goes on so smooth (it’s waterproof, so sweat/drinks won’t ruin it). Add that sharp cat-eye, fluffy brows, and a warm nude lip, and it’s cool, glamorous, and totally wearable for raves or fancy dinners.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

Step 1 — Base Makeup

Start with the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter—this is my party base secret. Its serum-like texture gives a sheer, glowy canvas without looking greasy, and it keeps my foundation from creasing even on dry winter days (combo-dry skin approves!).

Next, pat on the Urban Decay Face Bond Waterproof Foundation with a damp beauty sponge. It’s a natural matte finish (not flat!) with medium coverage—perfect for covering redness and post-party dark circles, and it only gets better as the night goes on.

Conceal dark circles with the Urban Decay Quickie 24HR Concealer—the double brush is genius: the small tip targets tear troughs, and the creamy texture never creases. I swear by this for hiding my 2AM pre-party Netflix binges.

Lock it all in with Urban Decay All Nighter Waterproof Setting Spray. The mist is so fine, it “welds” the base to your skin—no smudging, even when I’m sweating through a dance set.

Pro Tip (Beginner): Pat foundation on (don’t swipe!) for a seamless finish.

Pro Tip (Pro): Spray setting spray twice—once after base, once after full makeup—for 12+ hour wear.

Step 2 — Brows

Fill sparse spots with brow powder, then brush through with Urban Decay Big Bush Volumizing Tinted Eyebrow Gel in Dark Drapes. The deep brown matches the eyeshadow’s intensity, and the micro-fibers fill gaps without making brows look crunchy. I’ve headbanged at shows and these stay put—no joke.

Pro Tip (Beginner): Brush gel from tail to front for fluffy, natural texture.

Pro Tip (Pro): Use a clean spoolie to blend edges—no more “block brow” disasters.

Step 3 — Eyeshadow (Star of the Show: docolor Blue Palette)

First, prime lids with Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion—I’ve gone through 4 tubes of this. It turns lids matte, so glitter stays all night (no fallout on cheeks mid-party).

Base: Sweep Urban Decay 24/7 Longwear Eyeshadow in 15 Fix (warm beige matte) all over lids. The docolor palette doesn’t have a warm base, so this keeps the blue from looking muddy—total game-changer for cool tones.
Transition: Blend Urban Decay 24/7 Longwear Eyeshadow in 20 New Riff (warm brown matte) into the crease and outer corner. Keep blending until the edge is soft—this keeps the look polished, not patchy.
Main Glitter: Press docolor Blue Gemstone Palette’s deep ocean blue glitter onto lids (use your finger—it picks up more product!). This is the moment: it looks like crushed diamonds under lights, and it’s waterproof (I tested it at a pool party—still perfect at 2AM).
Deepen Outer Corner: Tap docolor Blue Gemstone Palette’s dark navy matte into the outer 1/3 of lids. This adds depth so the glitter doesn’t look flat—cool blue + warm brown = chef’s kiss.
Brighten: Dab docolor Blue Gemstone Palette’s silver-blue glitter onto the inner corner and lower lash line. It makes eyes look bigger and adds that “galaxy” vibe.

Pro Tip (Beginner): Blend between every step to avoid harsh lines.

Pro Tip (Pro): Drag a tiny bit of the main glitter up the wing line to tie the eye together.

Step 4 — Eyeliner

Line lash lines with Urban Decay 24/7 Liquid Stick Eyeliner in Melted Onyx, then pull a 2mm wing. The tip is super thin—no shaky hands here. It dries in 10 seconds, so no smudging when I blink.

Line the lower lash line (outer 1/2) with Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eyeliner in Chaos—the bright blue matches the glitter perfectly, no cheap-looking contrast here.

Pro Tip (Beginner): Place your mirror under your chin (look up!) to see lash lines clearly.

Pro Tip (Pro): Keep the wing under 2mm—any longer and it can look over-the-top for parties.

Step 5 — Lashes

Curl lashes (hold 5 seconds at roots, mid-lash, and tips!), then brush on Urban Decay Subversion Lash Primer. It has vitamin E, so lashes stay soft (no crunchy spider legs), and it makes mascara last forever.

Add 2 coats of Urban Decay Perversion Volumizing Mascara. The brush grabs every tiny lash—even the ones in the inner corner—and it’s waterproof (I cried at a friend’s wedding, and my lashes still looked full).

Pro Tip (Beginner): Heat your lash curler with a hair dryer (low heat!) for longer-lasting curl.

Pro Tip (Pro): Hold the mascara brush vertically to coat lower lashes—no smudges!

Step 6 — Cheeks

Sweep Urban Decay Face Bond Blush in Fleshed Out (warm nude peach) onto apples of cheeks. The matte finish doesn’t compete with the glitter, and it adds a subtle glow (not shimmer overload).

Contour with Urban Decay Face Bond Luminizer in High Profile (deep bronze). The cream-to-powder texture blends so easy—sweep under cheekbones, along the jaw, and down the nose for instant definition.

Add Urban Decay Face Bond Luminizer in Golden Hour (champagne gold) to cheekbones and the bridge of the nose. It’s a soft glow, not a disco ball—perfect for balancing the eye glitter.

Pro Tip (Beginner): Sweep blush toward your temples to slim your face.

Pro Tip (Pro): Blend contour with a damp sponge to avoid harsh lines.

Step 7 — Lips

Line lips with Urban Decay 24/7 Lip Pencil in Liar (warm nude brown). The creamy texture doesn’t tug, and it keeps gloss from feathering (no “bleeding lip” disasters at dinner).

Top with Urban Decay Vice Lip Bond Gloss in Law of Attraction (toffee nude). The glossy finish plumps lips so nicely, and the warm tone balances the cool blue eyes—no “ice queen” vibe here.

Pro Tip (Beginner): Only line your cupid’s bow and lip corners for a natural look.

Pro Tip (Pro): Blot with a tissue after applying gloss for longer wear.

Customize for Your Skin Tone

Fair Skin: Swap the warm brown base for Urban Decay 24/7 in 16 Tease (cool brown matte), use docolor Blue Gemstone Palette’s light blue glitter, blush in Wholehearted (baby pink), and lip gloss in Cuffed Up (light bubblegum pink).
Medium Skin: Stick with the warm brown base, docolor Blue Gemstone Palette’s deep blue glitter, blush in Slow Burn (warm coral), and lip gloss in Law of Attraction (toffee nude).
Deep Skin: Use docolor Blue Gemstone Palette’s dark navy glitter, warm brown base, blush in Sunset + Vine (deep terracotta), and lip gloss in Bad Blood (deep red).

Switch It Up for Any Occasion

Rave/Club: Layer docolor Blue Gemstone Palette’s largest glitter over the base, swap highlighter for Mirrorball (iridescent glitter)—sparkle everywhere.
Date Night: Slim the wing to 1mm, use less glitter, and swap lip gloss for Toy With Me (warm rose pink)—softer, but still glamorous.
Fancy Dinner: Add false lashes, swap lip gloss for PDA (brick red)—drama with sophistication.
Work/Brunch: Use docolor Blue Gemstone Palette’s matte blue, skip the glitter, and line with a thin inner liner—cool, but office-appropriate.
