How to - Green Glamor Make-up

Hey guys! Long time no see! How are you?
I had a pretty long and somewhat not so nice month...Been sick for a few good weeks now...an on and off again thing, I noticed. And also my laptop broke down and I couldn't work, so I got late on some stuff.

But in any case...a green look today for you, made on my friend. She has gorgeous eyes and I think green is just one of those colors that makes brown eyes stand out better! So if you want to see how it's made, keep on reading!



I started with the eyes:
1- Apply a color that best suits you skin tone on the entire lid. The color should be closer to a peach, beige or brown under tone.
2- Start with a light to medium green and apply it on the outer half of the lid, blending it with the first color.
3- Use a soft white shadow under the brow and in the inner corner. Don't over do it, because it could make the look heavy.
4 - With a smaller brush or a soft blending brush, add a dark and more vibrant green in the crease and under the eye.
5 - Line your upper lash line with a black resistant liquid liner and add mascara (careful not to touch the wand to the shadows!)
And that's it for the eyes!


For the face:
1 - I used a cream and a primer to start off.
2 - Applied a hydration foundation, because she has a more dry complexion.
3 - With a good concealer, "erase" away any spots, scars, lines or other problems you might have. Use the product and the press lightly with your fingers or sponge to warm it and even it out. Because winter is almost here, I prefer to use a cream or somewhat liquid formula to protect my skin and hydrate it.
4 - Fix all the products with a light dust of powder.
5 - Apply a peach or wine tone blusher on the apples of your cheeks...and your done!!

6 - Optional: You can apply a bronzer or a contouring product in the hollows of you cheeks, on the temples, along your nose or under your chin, in order to contour and sculpt your face.
7- Optional: You can also use a highlighter on the center of your forehead, along your nose, above your upper lip and cheeks to highlight the areas where the Sun would naturally "hit".
