Blue Moon Mist Eyes: Icy Blue Glow with Soft Depth
Hi beauties! 💙
Today, I’m so excited to share how I create my Blue Moon Mist Eye Makeup, inspired by the dreamy cool tones of the ColourPop Blue Moon palette. This look is all about soft, icy blue layers with a luminous shimmer right at the center of the lid, finished with subtle purple accents under the eyes.
I love this makeup style because it feels light, clean, and ethereal, but still has enough depth to stand out in the evening. It’s perfect for parties, night events, or anytime you want your eye makeup to look a little magical without feeling heavy.
In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through each step exactly how I do it, from prepping the lids to adding those final lash details. I’ll also share the products I personally use along the way, so you can easily recreate this look at home and adjust it to your own eye shape.

Eye Makeup Step-by-Step Tutorial
Step 1: Eye Primer
I start by applying Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion evenly across my entire upper lid, gently pressing it in until it sets. This step is essential because it helps the eyeshadow appear more vibrant while preventing creasing and fading throughout the day.
Step 2: Base Shade Application
Using a large fluffy eyeshadow brush, I take the shade “Frosted” from the Blue Moon Mist Eye Makeup palette and sweep it across the entire upper lid, from the lash line up to just below the brow bone. This soft icy blue matte shade evens out the lid tone and creates a smooth base. I gently blend the edges upward to avoid any harsh lines.
Step 3: Main Color Placement
Next, with a medium rounded eyeshadow brush, I apply the shade “Celeste” from the Blue Moon Mist Eye Makeup palette onto the front two-thirds of the eyelid. I blend from the lash line upward, keeping the color below the crease and softly diffusing it into the base shade. This step creates that clean, translucent blue tone that defines the look.
Step 4: Outer Corner Definition
To add depth, I switch to a small tapered blending brush and pick up “Midnight” from the Blue Moon Mist Eye Makeup palette. I softly blend it into the outer third of the upper lid, focusing on the outer corner triangle. I also lightly sweep the same shade along the outer half of the lower lash line. I blend using small circular motions to keep the edges soft and avoid any muddiness.
Step 5: Center Lid Highlight
For the luminous effect, I use my fingertip or a small detail brush to gently press “Stardust” from the Blue Moon Mist Eye Makeup palette onto the center of the lid. I avoid sweeping and instead tap the product on, which helps maximize shine and creates that misty, light-catching glow.
Step 6: Lower Eye & Aegyo-Sal Details
Using a very fine detail brush, I apply “Frosted” from the Blue Moon Mist Eye Makeup palette along the lower eye contour to softly define the aegyo-sal area. Then, I tap “Stardust” onto the highest point to bring forward a subtle shimmer.
To echo the purple accents in the look, I take a light purple shimmer shade from Urban Decay 24/7 Longwear Eyeshadow and lightly sweep it across the front half of the lower lash line using a small brush.
Step 7: Lashes & Final Touches
I finish the eyes by applying a black lengthening mascara to both the upper and lower lashes, then add natural-style black false lashes close to the lash line for extra fullness. To enhance the purple detail, I coat the lower lashes with a purple mascara, which subtly ties the entire look together and adds a unique finishing touch.
Additional Products I Used for This Look
While the focus of this tutorial is on the eye makeup, these are the additional products I used to complete the full look. I keep them consistent across different looks because they’re reliable, easy to work with, and photograph beautifully.
