Looks – Colour Forms Gilded Green Rocks
Posted On: 07/22/08
You know that feeling you get when you do a look, and you just LOVE it? I totally had that yesterday. Admittedly, I haven’t really loved, loved, loved anything I have done in awhile. Gilded Green is a pretty unique pigment, because I couldn’t think of a great permanent dupe for it. Makes me think I might need to reconsider the CF pigments, but I’ll probably look for samples instead of buying them in full size.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this look as much as I did :)
I used Gilded Green pigment (LE) on lid, Aquavert eyeshadow (LE) on inner lid, Wondergrass eyeshadow (LE) on middle of lid, Newly Minted eyeshadow on outer lid, Humid eyeshadow on outer lid/crease, Ricepaper eyeshadow above crease and on brow, Graphblack technakohl on lower lash line, Shade fluidline on upper lash line, and Plushlash mascara on lashes. I wore Suncentered Color Forms Powder (LE) on cheeks. I had Cursty lipstick (LE) with Nymphette lipglass on my lips.
** These are recommendations for dupes based on permanent colors available — may not necessarily be identical; they are the closest I can think of!
Gilded Green = Emerald Green + Frost + (a dash of) Teal; Aquavert = Surreal; Wondergrass = Bio Green; Suncentered = Cantaloupe; Curtsy = Jubilee

I’m with you Christine..it rocks!! i lovve greens because i have green eyes, so it looks like Gilded Green is going on my wish list! and i think i love it when you line the top lashes, too!
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
Thanks, Angela! I think you will really like Gilded Green :)

I think this may be my favorite green look on you. I also love seeing what you do with the looks because your skintone is similar to mine, so it makes it easy for me to see what will look good on me. Is there anything you *can’t* pull off? I don’t think so! Gorgeous!
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
Aww, wow! Thanks Elle :)
LOL, there’s a certain shade of yellow that looks pretty gnarly on me!!
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
Wow. You look so pretty in greens. :) Love this color.
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
Thank you, TR :D
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
Your eyes look huge! Much bigger than normal. I think it’s the mascara.
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
LOL! Well, thank you! Weird, it’s my normal mascara!
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
Amazing!!!!! I bought gilded green too and I adore it!! I need to play around with it some more..so thanks for the inspiration!!!
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
Thank you! So glad you got it – let me know what your favorite way to use it is!
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
I know I’ve said this before but green is the best color on you by far!!!
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
lol, thank you, Kelly! It’s one of my favorite colors to use!
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
This is, by far, my favourite look I’ve seen you do in quite some time! Not sure if its just because you look AWESOME in greens/corals, but this is absolutely stunning. Greens can seem so overdone, but this looks so soft on you, especially with the lips & cheeks. I’m trying to wait patiently for my Gilded Green & Sun Centered to come in the mail tomorrow, but this look isn’t making it easy! Hehe :)
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
Thanks, Ariele :) It is one of my favorites from late, too. I hope you enjoy your haul tomorrow!
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
Really amazing!
You made me order Suncentered, grrr! ;)
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
Thanks, Nell!
Haha, it’s so pretty, though. You’ll love it!
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
Christine, this is amazing on you! This is one of my favorite looks you’ve done in a LONG time. I’m def. going to have to check out that pigment!
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
Thank you so much! :) You should, it’s such a pretty color!
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
Great, I love Gilded Green so much that I’ll have to get it. You’re such an enabler.
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
Hi Tekoa,
LOL, yes, I am an enabler, and I am PROUD of it ;)
Tuesday, July 22, 2008

Wednesday, July 23, 2008
LOL!! Good luck resisting :D
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
I was going to blow off buying the pigments from this collection, but you’ve shown a convincing arguement for me to at least buy a sample of Gilded Green.
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
Yes, get some samples at the very least ;)
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
That green really brings out your brown eyes. You look gorgegous.
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
Thanks, LaEisha!

Wednesday, July 23, 2008
Aww, thank you so much, Danielle! Too sweet :)
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
I am so inspired by this intense green look! In fact, it is such a coincidence, I also used Glided Green p/g today, and I posted my look here, it is much lighter, and I left my lower lids naked.
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
Aw, awesome! Great minds think alike!
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
this is a lovely green on you chris!
would you akin it with gulf stream? i’m deciding bet buying newly minted and gulf stream. i’m not brave enuf (and too kluzy) to try piggies :(
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
Thanks, Natasha!
No, not really. Gulf Stream is a bright pop of teal, IMO. It’s kind of like Warm Chill or Aquavert (Warm Chill hardly gave me any color, though).
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
glided green is completely different from gulf stream…. which is more aqua.
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
your rockin that green!!! i think green is your color!
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
Aww, thanks, Lish!!
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
WOW! The eyeliner on your upper lid looks absolutely stunning! I agreed with you before, about just needing it on the bottom, but with this look it really is beautiful!
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
Thank you so much, Calico :)
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
