St. Patrick's day is tomorrow and you're going to see green all over the place. You might even participate. While you can dress yourself from head-to-toe in green, don't forget to add a little green to your makeup. Whether you choose to go with full-on green eyeshadow or just add a little hint of green, the possibilities are endless.
What I used:
Eyes:
- Wet n Wild Fergie Eye Shadow Priner
- Make Up For Ever Artist Eyeshadow in S234
- Urban Decay eyeshadow in Baked
- Lorac Unedited (from Unzipped Gold)
- Tarte SmolderEyes in Espresso
- Make Up For Ever Artist Liner in Matte Black
- Bare Minerals Lash Domination mascara
- Essence Make Me Brow & Benefit Gimme Brow (I was doing a comparison between the two, review coming this weekend!)
Face:
- Smashbox Primer Water
- Revlon Colorstay Concealer in 01 Fair
- Nars Tinted Moisturizer in Finland
- NYX WonderStick in Light/Medium
- Essence Contour Powder in 02 Medium
- Too Faced bronzer (coral leopard? it's discontinued)
- Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop
- Bite Mauvember
You can start with your eyes or your face, whichever you prefer. I do caution that if your eyeshadow has a lot of fallout, to do your eyes first.
- Primer face with whatever primer you prefer
- Conceal any spots you want to hide
- Apply foundation/tinted moisturizer/bb cream with brush, fingers or sponge (I like using my Real Techniques Miracle Complexiong Sponge)
- Contour! I used NYX, then when that wasn't working out so well (it blended in way too much), I used the essence contour powder on certain areas (cheeks)
- Add a little bronzer and highlighter to add dimension and blend!
- Prime eyes, again using your favourite primer
- Apply brown eyeliner (Tarte Espresso) to outter corner of eyes and smudge
- Apply gold (Urban Decay Baked) to eyelid and about 1/2 of lower lid, middle out
- Apply brown (Lorac Unedited) over the brown eyeliner and blend into the gold
- Using a light hand, apply your green/teal (MUFE S234) to the crease and slight above. Again, blend but don't blend too much into the gold.
- Apply same colour to the other 1/2 of the lower lid
- Line eyes with black liner (MUFE Matte Black)
- Add mascara
- Do those brows!
- Apply lipstick (ok, my lipstick wore off by the time I took these pictures, several hours later. You will see it on the eyebrow post though!)
Yesssss! I love this! :D
