A simple coloured pencil can transform a look in just a few strokes, and that is exactly what a professional makeup artist’s tutorial, already generating serious buzz on Instagram, sets out to prove. Charly Salvator, who counts more than one million followers across his social media channels, shared a video on 11 August 2026 dedicated to a shade he would not normally have reached for: an ultra-pigmented turquoise blue<\/a> that he describes as an instant obsession.<\/p>\n

A makeup artist won over by a blue he never saw coming<\/h2>\n

Charly Salvator is used to working with personalities such as Caroline Receveur and Nolwenn Leroy. His professional eye makes it all the more compelling when he admits to falling for a flashy colour. By his own admission, this makeup artist is not a fan of bold, punchy shades on the eyes. Yet faced with this turquoise gel eyeliner pencil<\/a>, he simply could not resist.<\/p>\n

What won him over first was the quality of the product<\/a> itself. The pigmentation is intense, the colour opaque, the formula waterproof, and the staying power excellent. To prove it, he rubs the line drawn on his hand in the video: the blue barely budges. And despite its visual intensity, the pencil remains easy to handle, good news for anyone still hesitant about diving into coloured eye makeup.<\/p>\n

This makeup artist’s tutorial arrives at a very specific moment: turquoise blue<\/a>, already a dominant presence in summer 2026 fashion collections, is now making its way into beauty routines. Fresh and luminous, this shade adds character to the eyes without requiring an elaborate makeup look.<\/p>\n

A makeup artist’s step-by-step tutorial for nailing the pool-blue eye<\/h2>\n

The method laid out in this makeup artist’s tutorial follows a simple logic: start from the inner eye before working outward. Charly Salvator begins by applying the pencil to the lower waterline, starting from the outer corner. He then extends it slightly into the inner corner, before sweeping upward to meet the eyelid, forming what he describes as a circumflex accent shape.<\/p>\n

At the outer corner, the same principle applies: let the pencil extend just a little beyond the lash line. At this point, he says, most of the work is already done. The rest is about balancing this vivid colour with more neutral tones.<\/p>\n
