So sorry guys it has taken me so long to write this :S I have been so busy with my new job. And I have been so tired because of my screwy hours :S haha So well here it is! as promised ;)
How to create this green eyeshadow look:


First of all, start off with a clean face. Foundation, concealer, eyebrows filled in, and powder. With powder you want to pour the loose powder into the cap and use a kabuki brush. (Pictured at the left) Move the brush in circular motion to catch all the powder into the brush. Then start with your forehead and move all around your face in circular motion. I use the lightest of the light liquid foundation, but I go a little darker with my powder so I don't look so ghostly white. It adds a little color to my face, but also doesn't make me look like I have a fake tan. It just looks natural ;)

All you need are three colors:

So first what you want to do is take a darkish green color. (First picture) And using your fingers apply it on your lids not passing your crease. You be the judge of how dark and dramatic you want it. I choose to use my fingers rather than my eyeshadow brushes because you can get more control using your fingers. Make sure you apply it evenly on both eyes. Next what you want to do is take a lighter green color. (Second picture) and apply it slightly above your crease, do not pass the brow bone though. Make sure you blend blend blend. You want to make the colors have no beginning and no end. They should look like one color fading out. If you want it to be more blended you can always use a blending brush to fade the colors to your liking. The last color is pearl shimmery white for the inner corners of your eyes and the brow bone. This is to highlight and brighten your eyes and make them appear larger. The next step is to line your eyes. Take a good eyeliner and line your water line. And I blink a couple times so my upper lash line will catch the eyeliner. Then I put another coat on my lash line and repeat the process. With this particular look I never really put eyeliner on my eyelids over my eyeshadow because I feel that it makes it too dramatic. And with this look you want to keep the eyeshadow the dramatic part. Plus it makes my eyes look smaller.
