This is the look I wore to the Benefit breakfast yesterday :) (This is, obviously, before Benefit made me over!) I didn’t think something this simple would turn out this lovely!
You will need the following…
- Eyes: Soft Ochre paint pot (neutral beige base), Juxt eyeshadow (pastel green), Bottle Green eyeshadow (dark green), Prussian eyeshadow (dark blue), Soft Force eyeshadow (highlighter), Prescriptives Grotto Liner (green), Plushlash mascara (black)
- Cheeks: Margin blush (coral-pink)
- Lips: Brave New Bronze lipstick (pinky nude), Chanel Tangerine Dream (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: Brave New Bronze = Honeylove
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. On the lid, pack Juxt eyeshadow on using the 239. Darken crease with Bottle Green eyeshadow using the 226, then deepen with Prussian eyeshadow with the 219. Sweep Soft Force eyeshadow underneath the brow bone to highlight. Finish with Prescriptives Grotto Liner on lower lash line. Apply Plushlash mascara on lashes. Sweep apples of cheeks with Margin blush using the 129. Apply Brave New Bronze lipstick to lips, and then top with Chanel Tangerine Dream for color and shine.

I like this look.. :) Might have to checkout bottle green – is this a pro colour?
Christine

Beautiful! But why aren’t you using false lashes? They look great on you.
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
False lashes are fun, but I like to save them for special occasions and not everyday :)
Nathalie

You look very cute in green, that’s the color I prefer to see on you. Beside, you have the most perfect eyebrows!
Christine

Thanks, Nathalie! :) Glad ya like the ‘brows!

Beautiful! I absolutely love Bottle Green; I use it in almost every green look I do. I haven’t tried pairing it with Juxt, though *makes a note*
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Thanks, Liz! It’s a new fave :)

Wow, you know, when i saw your pic from the Benefit store yesterday, i thought you had used silver/grey shadows. Must have been your sweater that originally made it look that way to me. However, now that i see this close-up, the colors are just gorgeous together. You’re right, so simple, yet so beautiful. I love it!
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
They changed up the look at Benefit :)
Jackie
Thursday, May 28, 2009
I really like this look! What do you think is a good dupe for Bottle Green? (it doesn’t necessarily have to be MAC either) I’m not near a pro store to pick Bottle Green up.
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Thanks, Jackie! Hmm, it’s kind of like a dark, green. Almost a forest green. I can’t think of any dupes off the cuff, but that’s the color description. Bottle Green is matte in finish, too.

This is, IMO, one of your best FOTDs. It’s so (relatively) simple, but stunning!
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Thanks, Jenna! I did it at 5am, so I wanted to do something simple. Plus, I needed to use Juxt to match my shoes, LOL.
Tatiana
Thursday, May 28, 2009
LOVE IT! Freaking love it. My favorite look of yours yet, probably because I’m so in love with the color green.
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Aww, thanks, Tatiana! Greens are a big fave for me, too :D
Ashlee
Thursday, May 28, 2009
That look makes me want to run out and buy everything you used on your eyes. I love the look and I can never have enough green =)
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
LOL!
You can definitely never have enough greens!
Thanks, Ashlee :D

Saira

Gorgeous! Love this look! It’s funny, I did a simple green look yesterday as well [Greenstroke paintpot on lid, Juxt on lid, Humid in crease, UD Midnight Cowgirl (like Nylon) to highlight]. It’s really good when a simple eye make-up look turns out really nicely!
Nicole15
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Saira – so funny you mention this look of yours cause I rock the same look quite often. i really like it! greenstroke pp, juxt on lid & humid in crease. only difference is i sometimes use gorgeous gold to blend out just above crease & use femme fi as my highlight. great minds think alike ;) LOL
Saira

It’s really cool when you find a nice simple, colourful look that works, isn’t it? I might have to try a light gold-toned eyeshadow as you suggested, just to try something new with it.
Christine
Friday, May 29, 2009
It is! One more look to add to the go-to list when you run out of ideas (or time!) :D
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Thanks, Saira!
Ohh, that’s pretty! I don’t think I have Greenstroke any more, otherwise I might have had to copy!
Saira
Friday, May 29, 2009
That’s a shame that you don’t have Greenstroke anymore. Am sure there’s an alternative green base colour you could use. I really like Greenstroke, as it gives a subtle hint of green colour beneath the eyeshadows.
Christine
Friday, May 29, 2009
I really didn’t take to the majority of the paint pots — I pretty much only like Soft Ochre paint pot! I know, I’m terrible!

That grotto liner looks beautiful. How does it hold up on your waterline? I’m considering getting it, but it depends on the longevity.
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
It holds up a bit, but nothing stays 100% on my waterline. I get about 3-4 hours!
Heather
Thursday, May 28, 2009
That was gonna be my question too…is one of the UD 24/7 colors anything similar?
Christine
Friday, May 29, 2009
IMO, not really. Grotto is unique amongst my stash of eyeliners :(

This look is so fun! totally gorgeous:) i love greens and i must get that Juxt eyeshadow…my problem is, whenever i do a look, i don’t achieve to get that boundary of colors just like yours:((…mine always look like all the colors are so smoked up and mudded down, lol! i really need to work on my blending skills:(
anyways, lovely work as usual:) thanks for sharing your talent to us <3

Really love this look. I have Juxt, I’ll have to see if they have Bottle Green on EBay, I can’t get stuff from MAC Pro.
Christine
Friday, May 29, 2009
Thanks! I hope you can track it down. It really is a fantastic shade!
