This weekend, while casually strolling the cosmetic aisles in Target, I came across a New York Color Metro Quartet that I did not own yet, and it was absolutely beautiful. “Chelsea Chic” contains four eyeshadow shades, all exactly reminiscent of Chelsea, New York City, the sophisticated, artsy neighborhood. I made this look really stand out by applying black eyeliner on my upper lash line, and some false eyelashes. To see how to achieve this look,
To achieve this look:
- Apply #1 to your inner eye and blend upward. This will give us a gorgeous sparkling pink color that will really pop against the blue lid color.
- Apply #2 across your entire eyelid, stopping at the crease. Blend out the edges with a fluffy blending brush, and make sure you stop at the crease. Focus fire that color in the middle of your eyelid.
- Apply #3 from your inner crease to your outer crease using a pencil brush. Use windshield wiper motions, and apply this color across the entire length of your crease, especially focusing on the inner crease so this color pops. Using a fluffy blending brush, blend out this crease color so there are no harsh lines.
- Apply #4 to the outer one-third of your eye, and pat down. You don’t want this shade to be super dramatic or outdo the shimmering gray crease color, so simply pat this color down on the outer-third of your eye, and blend with your fluffy blending brush. It will add a very subtle smokey look to your eye.
- Apply #2 to your bottom lash line with the same pencil brush. This will add a gorgeous pop of shimmering blue color, tying in the eyelid color.
- Line your upper lash line with a black eyeliner. Also apply this eyeliner on your lower water line. Curl your eyelashes and apply mascara. Also, apply a pair of false eyelashes (optional).
Viola! Chelsea Chic eyes that are sophisticated sexy.

Oooo! That look is pretty! Best part is it’s neutral enough to wear anywhere.
