I don’t think I’ve done three days of makeup in quite awhile! For some reason, the upper “liner” is 1) not very prominent, 2) looks separated from my lash line even though when I applied, it looked fine. Don’t you hate when you’re all good to go, then you upload photos, and you’re like, “Oh, oops!” I had a totally different vision for the upper liner (I wanted something dark but glimmering with gold flecks), so maybe it was all the stuff I did to it that made it kind of wonky in the end, LOL.

Thanks for all the encouragement, I always appreciate it :) It really does inspire me!

I used Emerald Green pigment all over lid, Goldmine eyeshadow on inner crease, Wondergrass eyeshadow on lid, Humid eyeshadow on middle of lid, Carbon eyeshadow on outer lid and crease, Goldmine eyeshadow above crease, Golden Lemon pigment dusted all over lid (then gently swished over the lid, going back and intensifying the original colors of Wondergrass & Humid), Nylon eyeshadow on brow bone to highlight, Femme Noir eyeshadow along upper lash line, Blitzed glitter liner along upper lash line, Carbon eyeshadow along upper lash line, Feline kohl power on lower waterline/lash line, Goldmine eyeshadow on inner tearduct and inner lower lash line, Humid eyeshadow on outer lower lash line, and Plushblack plushlash mascara on lashes (top and bottom). I wore Other Worldly blush with Daisydust beauty powder on cheeks. I had Brew lipstick with Pink Grapefruit lipglass dusted with Reflects Bronze glitter on lips.

I’m such a sucker for a smokey eye! This is beautiful!

2008-04-04 12:41:02

OMG…That has to be the hottest smokey eye I’ve ever seen. Green is my favorite color of the moment, it goes so well with every skin tone. I’m going to try this look when I get home.

I love it! Really bring out your beautiful eyes, AND you used all my favorite colors! I love “Emerald Green” pigment and “Wondergrass” e/s!

Comment by Christine
2008-04-04 13:28:35

Thanks, Vanessa! Emerald Green is sooo pretty. I wish they had an eyeshadow that color :(

2008-04-04 13:32:16

Wow, Christine, you’re gorgeous!! We share the same eye colour, but I’ve always been afraid of greens. I only have Greensmoke, which is almost grey. Do you think I could try and copy your look?

Comment by Christine
2008-04-04 13:38:42

You’re afraid of greens?!! Hold my hand, and I’ll take you to green paradise :)

Greensmoke is a really pretty color, I like it for when I want to do a really smoky and deep olive eye. It looks really great with Sumptuous Olive. It’s going to be too dark to replace a color like Wondergrass, so I don’t know if it would really work to give you the same effect. It’d be fine as a replacement for the crease area (like Femme Noir).

Thank you!

This is an amazing look on you. It gives me an idea of how to use Humid. I’ve had it for a few years, but haven’t used it much. hehe Not only is your makeup flawless, your hair is the perfect finishing touch for the look. Fantabulous job!

Comment by Christine
2008-04-05 07:14:40

Thanks, Vera! Wow, I LOVE Humid :D It is sooo pigmented, and it is just a great color. You should definitely use it more often!

Thanks, Ellie! I don’t know if I’ll be able to set aside enough time to do a tutorial for this, just because there are a butt load of steps, LOL. I will put it on my list of possible tutorials to do, though :)

Gorgeous! I love this look… did you change the way you shaped the shadow around your eyes? it looks reallyyy different in the full face view (in a good way–dramatic!)

Comment by Christine
2008-04-05 07:20:58

Thanks, Rosa! A little bit, maybe? I am not really sure, lol!

WOW.. this one looks amazing!!!

quick question.. do you curl your eyelashes before or after putting on plushblack mascara? i curl mines before and they still seem to bring the curl down =(

Comment by Christine
2008-04-05 07:22:05

Thanks, Amy!

I curl before or after - whenever I remember, IF I remember (9/10 I don’t remember, lol). But you are supposed to do it before, even though I’ve always found it’s more effective post-mascara :(

2008-04-04 14:49:58

Holy CRAP! This is AMAZING. I love the colours, I love the lip colour, and I love the look itself on YOU. Greens really bring out your eyes. This seems product-heavy and I know it’ll take a while to apply, but I’m definitely going to try this tomorrow since I actually have everything. :D I heart greens.

Comment by Christine
2008-04-05 07:22:33

Thank you, Skyler!! I love that you have everything! I hope you do it :) I know it’ll look amazinggg on you!

wow. we share the eye color, hair color and somewhat even the skin color. I’ve never tried a green smokey eye, but after seeing it on you I definitely gotta try!

wow again. and thanks! :)

Comment by Christine

Oh, that’s so great, Cish! I know it’s always easier to relate to someone who’s similar in coloring :)

Thank you!

Christine, Christine!

I absolutely LOVE this look on you! I wore a smokey green eye the other day and got mucho compliments on it. I need to do it again but this time use Goldmine like you have here! Thanks for the inspiration!

Comment by Christine

This is gorgeous Christine!!!! And the lips look very similar to how mine look with Lollipop Loving and Sock Hop with those green reflects from the lipstick.

Interesting - I haven’t tried Lollipop Loving myself, but good to know I can pass then, lol.

green smokey eye is my fave way to wear my green e/s. adding goldmine is such a great idea. i sometimes use amberlights but goldmine is a better combi. thanks for sharing : )

Comment by Christine

Me too, Natasha :) I really loved the Goldmine in it when it was all done.

Thanks!

Totally beautiful, you really suit green….I am always to afraid to try greens, but perhaps I should (I have browny/hazely eyes) You finished the look of perfectly with that lipcolour too…very pretty indeed

Comment by Christine
2008-04-05 07:27:01

Thank you, Elaine! Ohh, you should :) I have brown/hazel eyes, so you could totally rock it!!

 
 
Comment by Amy
2008-04-04 16:11:59

OOOH, I LOVE this look!!! I’m a big fan of using greens in the summer (too pale in the winter!). And I just adore the coral lipstick/blush combo on you!! You should wear corals more often!! Very very flattering!!!!!!!!!

Comment by Christine
2008-04-05 07:27:24

Thank you so much, Amy! I’m happy to hear you enjoyed it :)

I adore greens, mostly because they work well with my skin tone and everything.

I am currently going through a smoky eye period and what better timing than to have you include colours like gold and green! For the life of me, I never would have thought that Goldmine or Wondergrass for that matter, could be used to combine to create a smoky gold-green look!!!

Am so freaking excited to try this look coz (except for the pigments and two es - Nylon and Femme Noir), I happen to own all the other colours you used ;)

And oh, did I mention that you look super duper gorgeous too?

Comment by Christine
2008-04-05 07:34:57

So glad to have shown you the possibilities that Goldmine & Greens have together :D

Nylon & Femme Noir aren’t essential to the look, so you’re all set to go. Let me know how it works out!

Thank you, Theresa!

You look HOT! You can really pull off a smokey eye. I actually think it’s good that the upper liner isn’t too prominent - your mascara is SO flawless in this set of photos and it stands out better without dark liner covering it up.

Comment by Christine
2008-04-06 20:14:32

Thanks, K! I’m trying harder to be more “precise” with my mascara, LOL. Although my tube is on its last leg, so I’ll need to replace it soon.
