Makeup

Yellow & Green


Below is a picture tutorial featuring the yellow and green look I sported in the intro to my "Take Back Your Hair" and Cut The Crease with Wine & Roses video. Enjoy!

Items used:
  • Blond Pearl by NYX
  • Golden Retriever by Prestige
  • Multi-color palette by Icing
  • EP25 Fabulous palette by L.A. Colors
Application:

#1. Using an all over shadow brush, I swept Blond Pearl by NYX onto my lower lid.

#2. I then applied Golden Retriever by Prestige on top of the Blond Pearl to give it some shimmer.

#3. Next, I applied the forest green color in the Multi-color palette by Icing to the outer corners and crease.

#4. To darken up the green, I added a small amount of the matte black color in the Multi-color palette by Icing to the outer corners. I used my blending brush to smooth everything out.

#5. For the highlight, I applied the fourth color from the left in the EP25 Fabulous palette to the brow bone.

#6. I lined the upper lid with black liquid liner, and the lower lid with a black pencil.

#7. After adding a few coats of mascara, this was the finished result:
