Look – Bright and Bold Greens & Teals

Another look 
I really should be patient and space out my looks, since I don’t do my makeup everyday, but I can’t resist. I must admit, I’m terrible at holding things back, LOL! I tried false eyelashes again, and while I was able to make them work, it didn’t go quite as smoothly (nor as quickly) as the day before. I definitely need to throw this pair of 7s away, though, because one is totally shot! (By the way, still wearing Korres’ Watermelon Tinted Moisturizer in this look.)
Happy Monday! Hope your day is amazing!
You will need the following…
- Eyes: Soft Ochre paint pot (neutral beige base), Kelly Green pigment (medium green), Gorgeous Gold eyeshadow (green-cast gold), Bio-Green eyeshadow (medium green), Prussian eyeshadow (dark blue), Atlantic Blue eyeshadow (bright violet-blue), Femme-fi eyeshadow (highlighter), #7 lashes (false eyelashes), Shade fluidline (dark forest green), Urban Decay Graffiti 24/7 Liner (green), Plushlash mascara (black)
- Cheeks: Laura Geller Golden Apricot blush (peachy-pink), Dior Amber Diamond Skin Shimmer (bronzy highlighter)
- Lips: Brave New Bronze lipstick (pinky nude), Tartlette lipglass (coral)
- Brushes: 266 (firm, angled brush), 226 (fluffy crease brush), 219 (pointed crease brush), 214 (smudge brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 129 (dense blush brush)
- Substitutes: Femme-fi = Shroom; Brave New Bronze = Velvet Teddy; Tartlette = Lychee Luxe
Directions: Define brows using a coordinating powder shadow applied with the 266 brush. Apply Soft Ochre paint pot all over the lid as the base with the 249. With the 239, apply Kelly Green pigment with water-based mixing medium on the lower lid. On the inner lid, pack Gorgeous Gold eyeshadow on using the 239. Apply Bio-Green eyeshadow to the middle and outer portions of the lid. Darken crease with Atlantic Blue eyeshadow using the 226, then deepen with Prussian eyeshadow with the 219. Sweep Femme-fi eyeshadow underneath the brow bone to highlight. Finish with Urban Decay Graffiti Liner on lower lash line, and Shade fluidline on the upper lash line using the 209. Apply #7 lashes to upper lash line, then lightly apply Plushlash mascara on lashes. Sweep apples of cheeks with Laura Geller Golden Apricot blush using the 129, then highlight with Dior Amber Diamond Skin Shimmer with the 188. Apply Brave New Bronze lipstick to lips, and then top with Tartlette lipglass for color and shine.

You look lovely in this pair of falsies... This green and teal is a winner!
Thanks, Jesi!
Very cute! I'm looking for a St. Patrick's Day look and I think this may be it!
Thank you, Nathalie! Hope it works out for ya!
I will Christine, I do greens on my days off. I work at Starbucks and since the aprons are green alot of times customers go oh how cute you matched your eyeshadow to your apron. Pfffft I don't know what kind of a nerd they think I am but I was certainly not taking my apron into consideration when I did my make up that morning LOL... so it gets old.
Thanks, Bettina! LOL! Aww. That's so cute though ;)
Ooh I just recreated this look on myself and love it...don't really like to wear greens to work but maybe on a day off I will do it again. :)
SO happy to hear it, Bettina!! I hope you give it another shot :)
Where on earth or when I should say did MAC have that kelly green pigment? I can't find it at all...but I love it.
I cannot find that kelly green pigment anywhere..it was from MAC right??
It's PRO!
aww man MAC has a kelly green pigment..that's so cool. I can never find green that are bright enough for my liking but that one just may work. I love this look Christine, thanks for doing this one. :)
No problem! Thanks, Bettina :)
I love this look. Really nice and bright! I love the way you have paired the greens with the blues. I've been thinking of getting Prussian for a while, so really cool to see it in some of your latest looks. What do you think of Atlantic Blue eyeshadow? I haven't seen this eyeshadow before. Is it similar to any of the normal Mac eyeshadows (I think it's a PRO product) or is it completely different? Thanks.
Thanks so much, Saira! I do love Prussian, and I also love Atlantic Blue. It is a PRO product, and nothing like it in the regular, permanent line at all!
beautiful! and i still want the brave new bronze.. ^-^
Thanks, Anna :)
Wow! I think i will have to buy those eyelashes. The last two looks with them look very good. And your hair is getting long, thats good. You look good with absolutely anything but long hair really suits you. I find it difficult to put on false eyelashes though :(
Definitely get 'em! #7s are VERY popular :) Thank you!
Those #7's are looking mighty fine on you Christine :)
Thanks, Allysha ;)
Love the look but I'd try 36 lashes next time I think they'd suit your eyeshape and lashes better.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Are you growing your hair out? I love it!
I'm trying, LOL!
This is kinda creepy...I was playing around with my M.U today and did a very similar look, xpt i used Bitter e.s over a white base thru the middle and end part of my mobile lid. The inner part of same lid had light green with matte yellow. Everything else was virtually similar with your end result!
Great minds think alike, Ivana ;)
I love this look--these are totally your colors. I also love your hair like that!
Thanks so much, Elle :) Glad ya liked it!
Oh pretty! Your lips look like the model's in the picture for the Cremesheen lipstick ad (the one where she's holding the telephone receiver)
Aww, thanks Sun :D
You are glowing! Christine, you are rocking with the summer look :D
Thanks, Natalie ;) It's almost summer here, ha!
Pretty!
Thanks, Allison!
Whoo! More falsies! =D Stunning.
Thanks, Rae :)
Oh wow! IT's really beautiful! I'm loving the lashes :)
Thanks so much, Faheema :D

LOL! Glad you like 'em!
I love this to, but I do love greens and blues. Lovely on your olive skin!
Thanks, Rowena :)
