Green Eyeshadow, 2 ways.


I hadn't really have done a green look in foreveer, and lets just say I had some idea's in my head & they actually turned out the way I wanted it to, for once! Greens can be worn toned down in more 'earthy' ways or if you like, you can wear them brightly even if it's just a pop of green or over the whole lid.



 Look 1, Mossy Greens



 I have no idea what I used on my face... but it's probably the same old foundations I'm trying to use up (why do they seem never ending!!) & also the Sportsgirl blush
~Eyes
 Nyx Slide on Eyeliner Pencil in Green Papaya all over the lid & lower lashline
I used all Makeup Geek Eyeshadows
1: Shimmermint
2: Poison Ivy
3:Envy- over Nyx Black Bean JEP
4: Seamist
5: Shimma Shimma
Before I applied Seamist I blended Vanilla Bean from envy out to the brow bone so they would blend better together.
Maybelline Master Precise eyeliner- No idea how I missed those couple of spots, grrr.

Lips: Revlon Matte Lipstick in Strawberry Suede with lip balm for gloss.

Look 2- Bright Greens
It seems like I haven't cranked out the 120 palette in FOREVER, and this time I wanted to do a briiight green with matte colours to practice blending.
I couldn't get many decent pictures so this will have to do. Also I did this in a hurry so the eyeliner is terrible.
 Nyx JEP in Milk
120 palette for all the colours used.
Maybelline Master Precise
You can see where I got lazy and didn't apply the JEP on the lower lashline, what a difference it makes!


Thanks everyone for looking, I hope you all like! How do you like to wear green eyeshadow?
