Going Green

I love the weekends. I actually have the time to play around with my makeup and create more dramatic looks. My look today may not be work/school appropriate but it is a great for a night or it can be toned down if needed. Lately, I have been really into greens. They go really well with my skin tone and browns eyes. I will take you step by step through the process (minus the foundation routine/blush). So let’s get started!

First, I took Humid from Mac and used a Mac 239 brush all over the lid. I made sure it was even but did not take it into the crease. I used a blending brush from the Body Shop to blend out the color and get rid of the harsh lines. Next, I took the lightest green in the Rimmel London Tempting Trio and put in on the inner half of my lid. I used the Mac 239 brush and blended into Humid. In my crease, I used the darkest green from the same trio. I used a Mac 217 brush. I then used the blending brush again to blend and smooth out the harsh lines. I used Mac 219 pencil brush and put Plumage from Mac on the outer corner of my lid and crease. I made sure to blend it in with the other colors. To add some shimmer to the look, I put Mac Steamy lightly on my lid. Then I used the third color from the trio and blended it in on my brow bone and worked into the crease. The last eye shadow I used was Vanilla from Mac and I used this on my brow bone and around the eye to clean it up. On my lower lash line, I took Plumage, Humid, and the Rimmel trio and smudged it out. I took black gel eyeliner from Maybelline and lined my upper and lower lash line and winged it out. To make sure it stayed, I put Carbon from Mac over it. Lastly, black mascara finished the eye look. Since it such a dark look, I went for a nude lip. I used Viva Glam Gaga 2 lipstick/lipglass and added a touch of red lipgloss in the center. The look is complete. Below I have step by step images to help anyone recreate the look. Stay beautiful and Go Green!
