Looks - Super Smoky Black, Green, and Gold Eye
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.
WOW!
One of my favourite looks EVER on you! You look smashing! Nice work! 😀
Oh, wow, thank you so much, Emma 🙂
I gotta agree.
Totally awesome Christine! I’m def going to try to dup this one! The dark green eye and coral lip look awesome!
Thanks, Shefali! I hope you do — be sure to report back with the results 😉
Wow. Awesome.
Thank you, Leslie!
I’m such a sucker for a smokey eye! This is beautiful!
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.
Teneasha (VB)
Oh, wow! Thank you so very much Teneasha 🙂 I’m very flattered!
Ooo I love it!
Thanks, Leigh!
I agree with Emma and Teneasha, this is an amazing look on you! I absolutely love its “hotness” factor! Thanks!!!
lol, the hotness factor!
Well, if it hits that, I’m set. Thanks, Chloe!
I’m telling ya, those gold/green combos are so brilliant on olive peeps. Gorgeous!
It’s no wonder why I’m drawn to greens 😉
i love this look. it’s very well put together. you look amazing!
Thank you so much, Kat! 🙂
That is amazing! Ive been on a huge green kick recently and i love this one.. :)!
Thanks, Crystal! What’s your favorite green look lately?
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!
Thanks, Vanessa! Emerald Green is sooo pretty. I wish they had an eyeshadow that color 🙁
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?
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!
Definitely one of my favorites you’ve ever done! And it suits you so beautifully!
Thank you so much, Michelle!
Gorgeous! I totally love it! It’s very sophisticated!
Thanks, MariahGem 🙂
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!
Thanks, Vera! Wow, I LOVE Humid 😀 It is sooo pigmented, and it is just a great color. You should definitely use it more often!
WOW! I love it! Especially since it’s green, my favorite color!
Thank you, Teresa!
this is beautiful! tutorial please!..or would it take too long since there are so many colors? haha
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!)
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 =(
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 🙁
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. 😀 I heart greens.
Thank you, Skyler!! I love that you have everything! I hope you do it 🙂 I know it’ll look amazinggg on you!
I’m in love!<3 I think I might try this!=)
Aww 😀 I hope you get a chance to, Sash!
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! 🙂
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!
Thank you, Clini-Kew! I am so glad you liked this – isn’t the green smoky eye such a great look?!
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.
Thanks, Erin!
Interesting – I haven’t tried Lollipop Loving myself, but good to know I can pass then, lol.
I Love it! It looks really good with your eyes and hair! Beautiful.
Thank you so very much, Stephanie D! 😀
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 : )
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
Thank you, Elaine! Ohh, you should 🙂 I have brown/hazel eyes, so you could totally rock it!!
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!!!!!!!!!
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.
YES this is definetly my fave!!!! I LOVE THIS ON U!
Thanks again, Charlene!
whatever inspiration you got this week…i hope u get it more often 🙂 GREAT looks Christine!!
lol, me too, Charlene! me too 🙂
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?
So glad to have shown you the possibilities that Goldmine & Greens have together 😀
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!
that look is a new definition for the word SEXY
you look amazing!!!
Aw, thanks Bec 😀
Beautiful! This is my favourite look of all time!! *sigh* I NEED Emerald Green.
Thank you so much, Stacey! Yes, yes you do 😉
Wow, Christineeee you look stunning in this look! I’d say its definitely one of my favorites on you! You look absolutely smashing!
Thank you so much, Faiza! 🙂
Just stunning, Christine. Beautiful!
Thank you so much, Pquanda!
OMGG THIS IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN YOU LOOK..I SWEAR…MY FAVORITE LOOK EVER…PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DO A TUTORIAL…..PLEASEEEEEEEEEE id love you forever…amazing
thanks, Heya! I’m really glad you liked it. I will put it on my list of tutorials to do!
Wow, this looks beautiful 🙂 I hope you do a tutorial. This is brighter than I would normally wear, but I think I’d actually attempt it if I knew how 😛
Thanks, Allysha! I’ll try to!
Pretty! Did you dye your hair? It looks darker since I saw you last!
Thanks! 🙂 Nope, haven’t dyed it!
this look is ur best look yet…yea yea the over the top colors that i love are spicy n playful but this look is very warm and looks great on u!
Thank you so much, Lish 🙂
You are an artist, it looks wonderful, green really suits you.
I´d never be able to pull that off *makes sad face*.
Aw, thank you so much, Nell! That is really sweet of you to say.
Now, on the other hand, I think you could definitely pull it off!
Hey Cristine,

Great look again! Thank you!
WOW, I totally love this look! Definitely one of my faces you have ever done!
Thanks so much, Gio! 😀
one of the most amazing green makeup i ever seen !!!! its just perfect, and that gold color, it adds a magic touch … you look GORGEOUS in that look, no kidding !!!!
high five Christine !!!! :):):)
Wow, thank you, Inu! I’m thrilled you liked it!
I LOVE this look on you! Envy green is sexy against your skintone. Great color picks!
Thankyou, Marsadie! I better wear greens more often, then 😉
Those lashes are the longest I’ve seen on you! It must be an awesome mascara! Also the green colours really go well with your eye colour. I’ve never seen a green smokey eye this good!
I love Plushlash! 🙂
Thank you!
i really love this look on you!!! really brings out your gorgeous eyes Christine!
Thanks, Alisha! Happy this was so well-liked!
Hi Christine!
This looks gorgeous on you. Dark/smokey eyes suit you very well 🙂
Thank you, Tonee 🙂
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.
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.
the best look ever on you!!
Thanks, Monique!
Absolutely gorgeous!! You look amazing with greens!
I can’t believe your awesome photos, too… I read through your photo help post and still could never get mine to look like that. You have the eyes of a model, naturally! So pretty. 🙂
Thank you, JennBee! I’m glad you liked it!
Aw, just practice. Seriously, go out and take a walk and take close-ups of everything until you get it down pat!
Wow, this makes your eyes the most beautiful golden brown. I now know exactly what it means when someone says “that shadow color makes your eyes pop”. It is really lovely on you
Thank you so much! I guess there’s some truth to green shadows for brown eyes!
christine-you look totally fantabulous. I love green and have put humid on my must-buy list.
btw, how different is smolder, ebony, graphblack and feline in terms of fierceness? mac here doesn’t carry feline.
Thanks, Pia! I adoreee Humid, such a pretty and intense shadow.
Feline is the darkest IMO, but Graphblack is pretty close.
HEY GIRL, I THINK I AM MORE FASCINATED BY THE WAY YOUR EYEBALL LOOKS AND HOW GREAT YOUR CAMERA TAKES A GOOD PICTURE.YOU CAN SEE EVERY LITTLE DETAIL IN YOUR EYE!
LOL, well thank you!
You look insanely gorgeous. This is your BEST, BEST look so far. I love your light peachy lips with the vivid green and the yellow gold all around only serves to bring out the green. LOVE ALL YOUR WORK!
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
Thanks, Sovann!
In a totally hypothetical situation…if i wasnt in LOVE with this site before..(which i OBVIOUSLY was) then this look…would have totally done it! Hands down. You are my BEAUTY IDOLLLL!
Awww!! Thank you Summer. I’m so flattered 🙂
That’s really pretty! And I’m not even a big fan of Greens. Kudos.
Thanks, Dawn! Greens are actually some of my favorite colors to work with!
I love it! Greens really do look awesome on you 🙂
Thanks, Ariele! 🙂
That’s an excellent look! I used to wear alot of green and actually I’m still very much attracted to green but I find that I’m seldom doing green looks now. I find it hard to find really good green colors lately. Oh, I miss greens so much!
Thanks, Connie1 I love greens myself and used to do them a lot, too. Now not as often, but still often enough 🙂
I love love love this look on you Christine, it suits you very well indeed. Smashing eyes!!
Thank you so much, hun! 🙂
Christine,
Nice look here! I am now starting to really *LOVE* greens. Can’t wait for new green shades to come out. I have a question about the glosses you wear. On average, how long do they last you before you see that you may need to re-apply? And since I am a newbie with MAC, do these glosses ever chap your lips? I find that glosses of other brands do, so I’m just curious. Thanks 😉
Thanks, Kharina! I’m all about greens, too 🙂
I can have my lip combo last as long as 8 hours if I don’t eat or drink. If I happen to drink, it’s usually four hours. If I eat, not so much then!
But no, I don’t find that MAC glosses chap my lips at all!
that reminds me of the colors or camo! haha, very cool! are most of your looks made with mixing medium? i always do mine dry but im seriously considering picking up some glycerin so i can do vibrant looks too!
lol! Yes, most of them are, just because I use pigments as my base, so I use the mixing medium with the pigments!
would forest green pigment work as good as emerald green? Thank so much!! By the way you ROCK!! your make up looks awesome I hope I can get a hold of some of these colors( wondergrass,golden lemon,emerald green) I am dying to try this look!!! If you ever get a chance to do a tutorial I would love to see it!
Hey Julie, I think it would for this 🙂 Wondergrass is really bright so it’ll compensate!
I guess I will have to go see how I can buy that color and some of the others Thanks!!
OMG this is one of my absolute favourites! just gorgeous!
Thanks so much Ayat!!
The green smokey eye is absolutely stunning on you. As others have mentioned, this is also one of my favorite looks for you – it “REALLY” makes your brown eyes pop. You’ve inspired me to try this look as well!!!
Thank you so much, Teresa!! 🙂 Let me know how you like the look on yourself!
You look amazing, so much I would like to copy this style for prom. Are all the colors MAC products? If I don’t have these, can I substitute them for some other brand?
XOXO
Hey Olivia! Yes, everything is by MAC, but you can totally substitute with another brand. It really is just gold, bright medium green, and black, so any brand will work.
Thanks!
i LOVE the green smoky look! i do it all the time. the mac products are so good but i’m experimenting with another cosmetic brand, Urban Decay. and i love the Maui Wowie e/s.
you look fabulous with the smokey green look.
Me too, Danielle! UD has great green shadows!
Thanks!
omg, i can’t believe i almost missed this look, i love it. I’m so hooked on green eyeshadow right now, and this is absolutely the best combo ever! I need coral lips/blush asap! let me re-read this and get the names of the products to make this happen (or die trying!!!lol!!!!)
*p.s. love the pix w/ your hair down.
Hey Claudia! Thanks so much 🙂 I’m glad you liked this look!
Hi I dont have Golden lemon is there another yellow color that would work to create the same effect? Thanks so much it i georgeous!!!
You could try Goldmine!
OMG!! You look so damn beautiful there!!!!!!!! Super gorgeous look!!!!!! So nice! I just love that!!!! You look so HOT!
Thank you, Aitana!

This is a great look for you, it really makes your eyes pop!
Thanks, Rachael! 😀
Absolutely perfect! Just what I needed; I’m going to a wedding on New Years Eve and I have a emeraldy green dress with gold accents. I will definitely try a toned down version of this for the occasion!
You’re so brilliant, Christine!
