First Blog post since December due to a hectic schedule (apologies) but thought a little" How To" on smokey green eyes for Paddys Day might be in order so here is a quick step by step guide to getting a this look and I would like to thank my beautiful best friend Paula Lumsden-Grace who kindly modeled for me :-)
1. Prime eyes with a product like Urban Decays Primer potion or MAC Prep and Prime Eye Primer
2. Apply a light coloured shadow across the lid and up to the brow bone to act as a base for the brighter colours you will be applying.
3. Take a light green colour eyeshadow and begin patting it on to the inner corner of the lid and sweeping it out over the rest of the lid keeping the colour most concentrated in the inner corner.
4. Now take a medium green colour and begin patting it on in the centre of the lid again sweeping across to the outer corner but keeping it concentrated in the middle.
5. Then take a dark green shadow and apply it to the outer corner of the eyes and into the crease blend the shadows together well so they have a gradient effect. Also remember to bring a little of the colours beneath the lower lash line and using a smudge brush blend them so that it looks subtle and not messy. You can also add a white shimmer shadow just beneath the brows to make the colours pop more if you wish.
6. Next apply a gel liner with an angle brush all the way across the top lash line. You can flick it out at the end depending on personal preference. Then apply a black Kohl pencil to the waterline.
7. Then apply mascara to both the top and bottom lashes and don't forget to define the eyebrows using an angled brush and appropriately coloured powder.
