TUTORIAL: Green with ENVY

Quickety quick eyeshadow tutorial.

I went to a green themed house party (pure carnage), rocking the following slightly crazy look to make up for my lack of outfit:


What I used:


-Base: Mac paint in untitled. Go for one that is a shade lighter than your eyeshadow. If you have trouble with oily eyelids, dust some translucent/blotting powder over the eyelid and then use the paint as a base.
-Colours L-R: Mac Sunny Spot (matte lime green) blended into Mac Humid (emerald green, blended into Mac Nehru (navy blue) which is used on the outer corners and crease. Take some Mac Mineralize Duo in Sea and Sky underneath the eye in the centre to open them up (very reflective pigment.) I also used some Make Up Forever liquidy green stuff, but it didn't blend very well so ignore that *ahem.* To finish, go around the whole eye with the Sunny Spot (matte lime green) to make it really bright.
- Highlights: Illamasqua liquid metal in Solstice (bright gold) to highlight inner eye and Rouge Bunny Rouge highlighting liquid in Sea of Showers to highlight cheekbones. Always take the hioghlight in a "C" shape along upper part of cheekbones and up to the brow bone. Never under the eyes, or it looks a bit weird! (words are my tool, clearly!)
- Lips: Mac Lipliner in Magenta and Mac Girl About Town lipstick which is a bright barbie pink. I apply the liner underneath to give the lippie a stronger colour and a more matte finish.
-Others: Diorshow black mascara, applied from the roots and flicked out to avoid clumping. Chanel black Kohl on waterlineand Illamasqua Tweak blusher in a teardrop shape near cheekbones. If you've got full cheeks like mine, blusher in a big circle on the apples just accentuates this! Go a bit higher up the cheek and always sweep upwards.

Voila!
