Fresh Teal/Green Eyes!

Hey everyone! 


So here is a teal and green look I did using only Urban Decay's Book of Shadows III (The New York themed one). I haven't used it for a while and there are some gorgeous colours in there so I decided to make a bright, colorful look, and keep it fresh enough to wear during the day by skipping heavy liner and keeping the rest of the face light. I got a lot of compliments on it from the girls working at Sephora and MAC too! :$ 


I kept it summery by pairing it with peach lips and peach matte blush, with highlighter.


I hope you like it!

Today I did a bright matte green look. I love green eyeshadow and this look was really fun to wear out as I went about my day. I took pictures of different lip combinations to show how it can go with different lip colours. I didn't wear anything on my face with this look as I'm a bit more tanned than usual anyways, plus it's still really hot out and I hate not being able to wipe my face with a cool cloth in the heat ha ha. Anyways here's the look, I hope you like it:



This was taken on my computer since my "good" camera was dead. The pictures below don't show the true colours that well, but this shows the brightness of the colours more true to life.

Urban Decay Primer Potion (primer)
Makeup Forever Flash Color in white (white cream base for matte shadows)
MAC Bitter (all over eyelid as a main color)
MAC Ego e/s  (lightly blended in corner and crease, as a base to blend the darker shadows)
MAC Sassy Grass (outer 1/3 of eyelind)
MAC Swimming mixed with MAC Sweet'n'Punchy (to blend Sassy Grass in with the rest of the bitter
MAC Plumage (outer corner and crease)
MAC Bitter and Chrome Yellow (to blend above crease)
MAC Chrome Yellow (inner 1/4 of the lid)
MAC Vanilla e/s (tear duct)
MAC Teal pigment (lower lashline)
MAC Sweet'n'Punch (inner 1/2 lower lashline) 

Uh, wow... I didnt' think I used that much stuff! Ha ha ha. The lip options are written below: 

Pink option: MAC Lovelorn lipstick

Peach: NARS Niagra lipstick, MAC Enchantress lipglass on top 
(this is the one I wore with the look today)

Bright Coral: Makeup Forever Aqua lip pencil 18C, Revlon Color Burst lipgloss Papaya

Fuscia: MAC Full Fuscia lipstick, MAC Funtabulous dazzleglass


How do you prefer to wear green eyeshadows? 

Thanks for looking!

Smoldering Gold/Olive

I don't know what to call this look, so lets stick with smoldering gold or olive. Its super dramatic Jersey shore style, it's a lot of makeup on the eyes and I paired it with a nude lip colour for my lips. My lips are two different shades as my top lip is much darker than my bottom, I find that the MAC Cremesheen Glass "Deelight" makes them look very similar and adds a nice neutral lip colour that isn't too pink or too peachy for my skin tone. I pretty much blended the Quo E/S in to the Sephora E/S & Pencil. It's easy and effective. I just wanted something super heavy. I paired it with a pair of rusty gold earrings. Hope you like!


I find if you do a dark look on your eyes and you already have dark skin, highlighting under the eye/cheek bone and beside your eye socket helps lighten the area and not look sunken in, or at least thats what I find.
