The green smokey eye

I wanted to try a makeup look than involved colored eye shadow, because 95% of the time, I do neutrals. The other 5% is muted purple, not that colorful either.

And what better time to try green than St-Patrick's day? Not that we are doing anything festive for that day, we will probably drink a green beer while watching TV, just because.

I have to day, I'm quite proud of the way it turned out. Not only did I included (some intense) green on my eyelid, but I made it a smokey eye, which I always have a hard time with.



I started by applying the Maybeline Color Tattoo in Mossy Green all over my lid. Then I added the green color from the NYX mysterious brown eyes pallet, which is quite bright. I focused mainly on the center and inner part of my eye for this color. Then I used the left color from the Rimmel Glam'eyes quad in green sapphire, applying it closes to my lash line and a little on the crease. I also used all three to define my lower lash line.

I finished it up by adding a slightly purple tone white on my inner corner and on my brow bone. Blended everything, added mascara.

And that's it! I should really try color more often.

What are your favorite eye shadow colors? Do you wear lots of color? Let me know, I'd love to hear from you!
