Happy Thursday gorgeous people! Let's share that huge smile to people we meet as it's such a blessing to be able to wake up each morning and spend time with our loved ones!
Yes, you got me! I'm in the mood, Friday is so near and yet...so far away? *hahaha*
As I try my best to do as much AMW Version as possible, I did manage to create a darker look (promise, it does look darker in person), I wanted to give this a unique name but it seems like I missed St. Patrick's Day so I'm dedicating this look to countries who celebrated St. Patrick's Day!
Of course, when we talk about St. Patrick's Day, we are speaking the color green! That lso includes my mind *teeheee* Smokey green tutorial can be as easy as 1-2-3...adding 4 and 5 for eyelining! :) Then I suggest we turn that sentence into a nursery rhyme! :P
AMW Diagram
Step 1:
Instead of using eye primer, I've decided to use The Body Shop Special Edition Kajal Liner in 02 Ever Green as base! You do not need to apply this evenly as this only serves as a nice base to make whatever green eyeshadow you use to pop out!
With any flat shader brush or eyeshadow brush, I pat on TBS Eye Colour in 43 Velvet Green on top of the Kajal Liner.
Step 2:
To blend in harsh lines from Step 1, use Milani eyeshadow in Garden Mist, gently blend it on the crease area with a wiper motion until you get a nice "smokey" effect. You can always re-do step 1 until you reach your desired "smokey effect".
Step 3:
Highlight the brow bone area with Stila eyeshadow in Kitten.
Step 5:
Line the upper lash line with Stila Smudge Pots in Black.
Step 6:
For a nice pop of color, I used Lancome Le Crayon Khol waterproof in Teal on the waterline. You can choose whatever shade of eyeliner you own for that nice pop of color!
This can even be worn alone! Very gorgeous shade!
Do not forget the fill in your brows, curl your lashes and apply coats of mascara. I used L'Oreal Curl Impact Collagen in Black in this tutorial.
Here's the outcome of my Late St. Patrick's Day look. Would you believe I am too lazy to switch eyeshadow brushes that I used only one brush for all 3 eye shadows in this tutorial. Do not forget to wipe out excess eyeshadow in between application so the colors won't mix!
Reference: I used Prestige #104 Shadow Sweep brush

Sis you've just waken up the'green in me! It's been absolutely ages since I wore green eye make up as I find it quite hard to crack it. It sometimes turn grey on me than green but thanks to your tip of using green as a base than the usual eye primer to make the colour pop. Now that spring is finally here, I could do this on my next day off ;) xxx
