Look: Warm Green & Brown
Look: Warm Green & Brown
This was the second look I tried to test drive MAC’s new long-wearing eyeshadows! 🙂 I don’t know if I’ve paired green (without being brownish or olive) with browns – it’s a very earthy combo! Hope you’re having a fabulous day!
You will need the following…
- Eyes: NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Primer (primer), MAC Fresh Flare Eyeshadow (green), MAC Keep Your Cool Eyeshadow (grayish brown), MAC Lie Low Eyeshadow (medium-dark brown), Burberry Trench Eyeshadow (highlighter), Urban Decay Lucky 24/7 Eyeliner (copper), Hourglass Film Noir Mascara
- Face: MAC Matchmaster Foundation (03), Korres #15 Natural Blush (nude brown), Guerlain Les Violettes Mineral Powder (03), Guerlain Parure de Nuit Pressed Powder & Blush (illuminator)
- Lips: MAC To the Future! Pro Longwear Lipcreme (nude), MAC Show Me! Pro Longwear Lipglass (peach brown)
For eyes, start by laying down your eyeshadow primer all over the lid and until the brow. Apply Fresh Flare eyeshadow on the lower two-thirds of the lid with the 239. In the crease, gently brush Keep Your Cool eyeshadow with the 222 and diffuse above the crease. Apply Lie Low eyeshadow in the crease to add warmth with the 239. Use Lucky eyeliner on the lower lash lin, then soften with Lie Low eyeshadow. Finish lashes with Film Noir mascara.
For face, apply Matchmaster all over face with the 193. Add color to the cheeks by gently dusting Natural blush near apples and blended out towards temples with the 116. Lightly dust on illuminator with the 165 or 188 on cheek bones. Set with Les Violettes with the 134.
For lips, apply To the Future onto lips and then layer over Show Me.
You look GREAT with that look. No wonder you made Jealousy Wakes.
Thank you! Greens are my weakness!
I cannot wait to try this look. Green always make brown eyes pop.
Thanks, Mandie! 🙂
Christine, how do you like that Hourglass mascara? I’ve considered trying it myself…I like the “earthy” combo of colors here!
I love it 🙂 I keep meaning to do a review but need to take photos and all that!
Awesome! Thank you for the response 🙂
Thanks so much for this, Christine. I just got Keep Your Cool and while I didn’t get Fresh Flare, I think I’ll try this with Ego, Humid or one of the greens I do have (and since these shadows are permanent, I can always get it later!) Such a pretty look.
Ego or Humid would be great with this! 🙂
Thanks for the reply and “reassurance”, Christine. I didn’t realize it was your birthday! Hope it’s a very happy one.
Thanks again, Mariella 🙂
Ahh you have me completely green inspired!!
Do you recommend an olive-y green liner? preferably gel…
Hi Ali,
Maybe something like Bobbi Brown’s Ivy or Forest? Those are both gel eyeliners 🙂
Lovely look! Wish u a very happy birthday Christine! Hope you’re having a lovely day 🙂
Thanks for the birthday wishes, Corallista!
Ooh, I love greens! Is this your birthday look? 🙂
Nah, I wore this last week or the week before when I was testing out the new MAC PLW products 🙂
Pretty look!
I just did a search on your site for a review on MM Foundation. It looks very good on you, and I’m hoping to see a review soon!
Have a great day!
Thank you! Hopefully soon 🙂

Awww, you look so pretty with this combo! You’ve inspired me to try this look at home. =)
Thanks a lot, Christina!
I am a rookie in makeup but I so want to try this… love the green and brown shadows…<3
Definitely try it! 🙂
one of my favorite looks by you. You should do more warm tones for fall please!!!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot, Maria!
your skin looks great! do you think it is the MAC foundation or the Guerlain les Violettes? I’ve been thinking of getting the latter. Or even the illuminator..
More the latter – Matchmaster is too dry for my skin type right now – it reads almost caky on me 🙁
Those look is so beautiful on you! The Fresh Flare green compliments your skin tone and eyes so wonderfully! I picked up Fresh Flare on impulse last Thursday, I so do not regret it. 🙂
Have you worn it yet? If so, share your combo!
Pretty! I love the entire look, but that green looks so flattering, you’ve got me considering it. 🙂
Thanks so much, Carrie Ann!
Love it so pretty
Just read its your birthday. Happy Birthday! I hope you have a fab day
🙂
Thanks, LH!
I love this!! And happy happy birthday!! All the best wishes 🙂
Thanks, Claire!
I love this combo…!and it’s also prefect for fall!
Thank you, Cydoniac!
This look is perfect for brown or hazel eyes, it looks amazing! And, I love her nude colored lip stick/gloss in the last photo. Definitely a great investment!
Thank you, Kaitlyn!
Your skin and makeup looks amazing! I can’t get over how glowy and fresh your skin looks!
Christine, you look beautiful! Your skin looks so radiant.
Happy Belated Birthday! I hope you had fun celebrating your special day.
I love the green and brown look 🙂
Love this look so so much
I wish I have the same eyes as you do
your eyes are gorgeous!!
Thank you, Peach!
You’re so creative!!!
I love it!!
Kisses! =*****
Thanks, Camilla!
christine can you recommend a lipstick or gloss dupe for the lip color you did above? i can’t get the nerve to shell out $40 something for those 2 lip colors, but really like the colors on you & would like to own something similar
I don’t have lipstick dupes at the moment, but if you click the link to the review of the gloss, there are plenty of dupes listed!
thanks i will do that 🙂
