Spring Trends Make Me Green With Envy


    While not only for us gingers, I am currently loving the idea of green shadow (and I love how it looks with red hair!). It's amazing with a peach or coral blush and a shiny lip, so it's my new obsession. Want the look? Here are a few of my favorites right now.



    Laura Geller's Enchanted Forest is a richly pigmented shadow that can work in myriad ways.

     

    Use it as a crease color for a dark, not-so-obvious green or use it as a wet liner and make eyes seriously sparkle. If you are new to Laura's Eye Rimz, these liners last until you take them off, with the same intensity they had when first applied. All of the colors are like rock stars in their ability to shine on!

     

    If you use it dry and in the crease, most of the lighter tones will fall away, leaving you with a rich dark forest green. If you use it wet, the lighter, reflective pigments will show through, giving you a complex dark-yet-shiny line.

    Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide on Shadow Pencil in Narc is a lighter, mossy green that blends beautifully and stays put. The beauty of these pencils is that you can layer them and blend them out.


    Add a shadow on top of Narc and get a totally different look. I love the look of Narc mixed with Mildew. (Mildew on lids, Narc blended out above the crease.)

     
     (Narc by itself.)

    Even better, add Narc over the lid and blend out above the crease. Line your eyes using a serious purple shadow like Purple Haze.

    What is your favorite way to wear greens? Tell me - I need to know!

    (Loxy photobombs me. He is getting to be as photobomb-y as Beanpie the Cat!)


     I bought the UD. Laura Geller was sent for review. Neither company tests on animals.
