Looks - Golds and Greens, Summer Is Here
I used True Chartreuse pigment on lid, Goldmine eyeshadow on inner lid, Juiced eyeshadow on middle of lid, Swimming eyeshadow on outer lid and crease, Humid eyeshadow on outer crease lightly, Bitter eyeshadow above crease, Ricepaper eyeshadow on brow, Goldmine eyeshadow on lower lash line, and Graphblack techankohl on lower lash line. I wore Hipness blush on cheeks. I had Rozz Revival lipstick with Poetique lipglass on my lips.
I love it! Very summery look indeed 🙂
Thanks, Bec!
That’s a really pretty look on you. By the way: How do you keep your skin so clear? It always looks nice in your tutorial pics.
Hey Ceci! Thank you so much 🙂 Honestly, it’s not very clear at the moment, it’s good foundation, LOL!
I can feel the sunshine from here. What colours did you use? I so need to get a true yellow eyeshadow.
Thanks, Tekoa! Description up 🙂 Some reason it didn’t paste!
wow.
it’s so pretty!
i just found out about your site two days ago, and I love it!
all your tutorials are really helpful/good, and i just love this site already.

Thanks, Katie! 🙂 I’m so glad you like the site, how’d you find us?
I love the colors, what inspires you, how do you come up with such amazing creations?
Thanks, Esme! Honestly, I just pick things at random, no real source of inspiration.
Totally pretty, Christine! I think it would be cool if you told us in the future Looks features and Tutorials features where you wore the look (school, clubbing, dinner, lunch).
Thanks, Shefali 🙂
I’d be happy to, but more often than not, I just do the look to share with readers rather than to go out, LOL. I’m basically at school or at home these days.
“Summer is here.” I’d believe you if it wasn’t 17 degrees out right now 😛 haha
LOL! Ouch! It’s been so nice here lately, it feels like summer!
very nice!!!
Thanks, Lala!
Could you start saying what mascara you’re using in the looks too?
Hey Amy! I’ll try to remember in the future! I only use Plushlash since I’ve gotten it for my looks!
wonderful look, your technique is flawless
but summer???? I wish, outside snow is falling!!!
Thanks, Nell! LOL, snow, wow — bright, sunny skies for me. I wish you lots of warmth!
That’s a very nice look, very summery. Love the colors!
Thanks, Gio 🙂 It felt like *such* a summery day when I did this look, I couldn’t resist.
Totally cute! The tank top is a nice touch. You can pull those yellows off, but with my bluegreenpurple undertones, I bet it would just look sick on me. I am GREEN with envy. 🙂
Thanks, Erin! I loveee that pale yellow for clothes, I was so addicted last year.
I think you could rock yellow, because I’ve seen it on ALL skin tones!
I Love this look!
Not sure if I can wear these colours, I am NC30, blue eyes. What do ya think? Can you do a tut on this one? Please?! 🙂
Thanks, BadKitty! Oh, you could definitely do it! I’m NC30 with hazel eyes, sooo 😉
This is lovely 🙂 And a huge reminder that it will soon be winter here, eek!
Thanks, Stacey! Oh no 🙁 It’s a bit gloomy today, but for the past week it was just gorgeous and sunny.
It’s nice to see you do looks using perm colors once in a while 🙂 This looks really summery love it!
Thanks, Janis! I’ve been trying to do more of them, so people can duplicate more easily. 🙂
“Summer is here” for u Christine! We’re still having snow storms in Canada!=(
Awww, Sash! How many more weeks for you of winter? 🙁
We have another snow storm coming up!…LOL, it stinks!
Hey Cristine,
I always luved these lively colours.
HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOWW . MISSSSSSSS SUNNNNSHIIIINE!!
Luv,
Zzainy..
Thank you so much, Zainy 🙂
This is so beautiful! I absolutely love this look! I have a question though. How do you apply liquid liner to the bottom lash line? Whenever I try it’s either very faint or it gets into my eye and I have to blink a few times to get the black out of my eye.
Oops, I now know that area is called the lower waterline (I looked at your eye diagram :))
Hey Tina!
I do it very, very slowly and with a very fine point brush/liner brush. It does take some time and patience to get it down!
You might be using too much too quickly if you’re getting it into your eye!
I seriously have to copy this look! I LOVE IT! Whenever we get some “Summer” here in Canuck (Canada) =(.
It look OK…but you have way too much make up on!!! You need to tone it down a bit…look at magazine covers and you will notice that they don’t exactly pile it on like you do!
Thanks for the tip, Pearl!
Make sure you take off all of your makeup at night Christine, leaving makeup on your skin is really bad and it will sometimes cause breakouts and then you’ll put on more makeup and the cycle continues…Go easy!
Hi Pearl! Thank you for your concern. I always remove my makeup each night.
Hi Christine!
I was wondering if you could tell me what kind of mascara you’re using and if it clumps at all. I’ve been using the L’Oreal voluminous in carbon black and it clumps like crazy! Trying to search for a better one, help!!
I currently use MAC’s Plushlash in Plushblack, and I don’t find it clumps very much at all… when it gets older/drier, it may happen but not too much.
I just wanted to say thank you for this look! Its soooooo pretty! You gave me a great idea!!! You are very inspiring.
Despite what others say *hisses teeth*, you apply makeup very nicely and it’s not “too much”!
Thank you so very much 😀
I’m glad you enjoy my looks!
