Maybe—
just maybe if you live under a rock, you don't know that Beyoncé released a surprise, self-titled, visual album at midnight on Friday the 13th. I was up, I freaked out, I downloaded it, I cried, and now here we are.
Her makeup in each video is absolute perfection thanks to makeup artist,
Sir John B. I
tweeted about my desire to recreate all of her looks and you guys encouraged me! So here's my take on the beautiful teal look from
Beyoncé "Mine" (featuring Drake):
BEYONCÉ "MINE" (FEATURING DRAKE)
This look was so easy to achieve! I'm not usually one for blue eyeshadow (I'm always saying that) but I really love how this turned out. It can also be toned down if you use a lighter hand and/or omit the blue base. That's actually something I might try because I think I'm
just at that too fair-skinned to pull it off mark. To off-set the intensity of the eyes, I used
Revlon Shine Lipstick in Honey Bare, which is a touch too peach for me. One day I'll find a nude that works!
Beyoncé's eyebrows are always awesome and a bit tamed-but-untamed, if that makes sense. I tried to emulate this by using short, heavy-handed strokes of product then applying a super light coat of black mascara to my brow hair. e.l.f.'s 3-in-1 Mascara has
the perfect wand for this.

I used inexpensive, easy to find drugstore products to help encourage you to try
Beyoncé's look from "Mine" for yourself. If you don't already own Wet n Wild's
Blue Had Me At Hello, I suggest you go pick it up
ASAP. It's being discontinued
and it's on clearance at CVS right now! The eyeshadows are incredibly pigmented, too. Did you notice I went wingless in an attempt at authenticity? Aren't you proud??
