Green and Brown Eye Makeup Tutorial

This look was created using some eyeshadows and blushes from Moi Mineral Cosmetics. This application technique usually makes my eyes look HUGE. I need to do it more often! Even though I did use a brown shadow, it does seem to be more green. But I still like it!

For a while now I've been using Coastal Scents Synthetic Brushes and I LOVE them! So I'll mention which brushes I used through out the tutorial. 
Any part where you see me using the same brush more than once, I always wipe any excess shadow off of the brush before applying a new shadow. I use cloth diapers as my brush cleaner/wiper, rather than being wasteful and using tissue paper.  I always completely clean my brushes between each makeup look that I do (using Cinema Secrets brush cleaner), to keep them clean and to avoid color transfer.
 
 
 Start by applying your favourite eye primer. I used Coastal Scents Shadow Worx Eye Primer. Then apply a very sticky base (Sobe's Stick It!, Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy or Darling Girls Cosmetics Glitter Glue all work great).

 Apply Moi Mineral Cosmetics - Tattle, to the crease, as well as outer and inner lid, with CS's Classic Shadow Angle Synthetic Brush.

 Apply Moi Mineral Cosmetics - Zombie Tears, to the lid, (leaving just the middle part closest to the lashes untouched), with CS's Classic Shadow Angle Synthetic Brush.

 Apply Moi Mineral Cosmetics - Ella, to the middle  lid, with CS's Classic Shadow Angle Synthetic Brush and blending outward and inward.

 Apply Moi Mineral Cosmetics - Zombie Tears, to the inner lower lash line, with CS's Classic Shadow Angle Synthetic Brush.

 Apply Moi Mineral Cosmetics - Tattle, to the outer lower lash line, with CS's Classic Shadow Angle Synthetic Brush.

 Apply Moi Mineral Cosmetics - Ella, to the middle lower lash line, with CS's Classic Shadow Angle Synthetic Brush.

 Apply Moi Mineral Cosmetics - Ella, to the inner corner with CS's Classic Detail Pointed Synthetic Brush by patting and sweeping outward.

 Using CS's Classic Shadow Large Synthetic brush, apply a skin tone shadow or use a powder foundation to blend and soften any harsh edges.
 
 Using CS's Medium Angle Synthetic Liner brush, line the bottom and top lash line with a matte black powder and wing outward.

 To complete the look, apply Ardell Lashes #113 and black mascara.

For the rest of what is on my face:

Eyebrows: e.l.f. Baked Eyeshadow - Burnt Plum (applied with CS's Classic Liner Medium Synthetic Brush)

Lips: Morgana Cryptoria - Twisted Apple Plum Lipstick + Fallen Leaves Lipgloss

Face: 
Skin MD Shielding lotion 
Sobe Botanicals Mineral Powder Foundation - Light Warm (applied with CS's small classic synthetic buffer brush)
Sobe Tinted Illusionist Powder (applied with CS's small classic synthetic buffer brush) 
NYX blush - Taupe (applied just below the cheek bones to contour using CS's Classic Blush Small Angle Synthetic Brush)
Moi Mineral Cosmetics Blush - Poison Berry (applied to cheek bones and blending back toward the hair line with CS's Classic Blush Large Angle Synthetic Brush)
Moi Mineral Cosmetics - Awakening (applied above cheek bones to highlight)

  1. I've been tempted to buy this Burnt Plum e/s from elf for my eyebrows. It looks great on you and really matches your hair! I dye my hair with henna and have quite natural maroon hair colour with some typical henna-orangey reflections in the sun. So I decided this Burnt Plum would be "too red" for me...

    By the way, I've been following you for some time now and really love your looks, style and the whole appearance. Doing make-up on your eyes must be a dream :)
