Glittery Green Makeup Tutorial

This smoky green eye-shadow look is so glamorous! It's perfect for nights out or upcoming holiday parties. This look is earthy yet sultry, it's great for all skin tones and eye colors. To create this look I used a combination of Maybelline's Sun-baked eye-shadow palette and E.L.F.s mineral eye-shadow in earthy.But of course you can use what-ever similar colors/products you have on hand.

Start off by packing on elf's earthy onto the lid. Since it is a loose eye-shadow I dip my brush into a bit of water first to help the shadow stick.

Next place a matte brown shadow in the crease working it up to before the brow bone. Tip: when working with glittery shadows it's best to start with the eye makeup before doing the rest of your face since there will be plenty of fall out.

Taking a glittery dark brown shadow blend it into the outer V working it up into the crease.

Next apply a highlight to the corner of the eye and brow bone.

To create a smoky look apply green eye shadow along the lower lash line.

Apply eyeliner and mascara. For a more dramatic look I decided to add some fake lashes.

Smokey Purple Eye-Shadow Tutorial

For this look I will be using my Petal Pusher palette from Wet n Wild. This affordable palette consist of 8 highly pigmented and silky shadows allowing you to create day&night looks. I highly recommend it!

(use as reference)

Apply a white eye shadow base to your lid, this will really make the shadows pop.

Next apply the 1st eye shadow to the lid stopping about half way. Apply the 2nd lid color to the other half and lightly blend.

Apply the crease color stopping before the brow bone and blend.

Next apply the outer v shadow and blend it up into the crease creating that smokey look.

Apply inner corner and brow bone shadow. Then take a white eyeliner and run it along your water line+lower lash line.

Next use the 2nd lid color to smoke out the lower lash line.

Apply eyeliner and some mascara and you're done!
