We asked the Yves Saint Laurent Beauté staff for tips on vibrant eye makeup. What are the tricks for mastering the challenging, cool, and trendy green-blue makeup look worn by Cara Delevingne, who also appears in the brand's visuals? Let's dive right in!

The standard procedure for eyeshadow is to blend a base color all over the eyelid and then add an accent color. However, applying the darker color (at the edge of the eye) first actually makes it easier to blend and create a beautiful gradation. Furthermore, applying a highlight color to the inner corner of the eye and under the brow can make the whites of the eyes appear larger and brighter overall, resulting in a more beautiful complexion.

The Couture Couleur Palette transforms into a cream eyeshadow-like texture when you wet the tip or add a drop of water to the palette. This enhances the vibrant color and pearly finish, and supposedly extends the color's long-lasting effect. It also doubles as eyeliner.

And a secret technique from YSL makeup artists is to use the same color for your eyebrows as for your eye makeup. This makes the eyes, eyebrows, and nose appear closer together, giving Japanese faces with eyes that are slightly far apart and low-nosed a more defined look. Simply apply a light layer of dark eyeshadow to the beginning of your eyebrows.

And the important thing is to create a sense of unity when looking at the whole face. The order is lip color first, then eyeshadow, and finally blush color. Blush serves to connect the eyes and mouth, so the key to creating a balanced look is to change your blush to match the color and intensity of your lipstick and eyeshadow. Try to create a sense of unity by using a lighter blush if your eye makeup is heavy, or an orange blush if your lipstick is coral-colored.
