Here's the season to be Jolly falalalala, lalalala! :D
I love December! This is the month of sharing and happiness! I was sitting at home, thinking of a look to start off December, a look that would remind me of thsi wonderful season and that's when I thought of GREEN.
I wanted a simple, nothing too outlandish look, a look that goes with the season and at the same time goes with the work environment as well.
Here's the final look
And here's a diagram to simplify all the details
Step 1: (in Blue)
I've used MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre as base.
Pat on Lancome's Daylight or any matte white eyeshadow on the inner 3/4 of the eye. Also pat on the brow bone area and inner corner of the eye to highlight.

Step 2: (in Red)
Using a blending brush, blend NYX Kiwi on the other crease. Use the same e/s to line the lower lashes.
