Beauty Day 4


I know the pictures aren’t the best, but you will have to believe me that it did turn out okay.

So, this is how I was taught to make green eyes pop, use purple colors. Opposites make each other standout, and green and purple (while not direct opposites) form a complimentary contrast.

    1.      I do mascara first. I know this is “wrong”, but I always get it on my eyelids. So I put it on, then use a Q-tip to remove the smudges.

    2.      Bass color—here I used a steel glittery color. The flash on the camera made it look super glittery…

    3.      Crease Color—here I used a plum color. In real life this color also had some glitter, which the flash didn’t show…

    4.      Eyeliner—again, I used a purple. I only did this on top because for me purple eyeliner on the bottom would have been too much.

As you can see from the last photo, the eyes aren’t too overwhelmed with makeup when open but are still dynamic. Sometimes when I do purple eye shadow I feel like my eye is going to end up looking like it’s been punched. A solution to that would be to do lighter shades of purple or only near the lash line. It’s just something you have to test out for yourself.
