Look: Green Cat Eye

Here's a quick eye look I threw together. Mr. Boyfriend helped me take pics of it. :) I usually don't even do makeup this dramatic, lol. But Linda of My Pretty Pink Box asked me to create a look with these to showcase their quality and pigment.




 
Not sure why the color looks faded in this picture...I was just happy to get a color accurate photo. Btw that's not a giant zit, it's a little mole thing I have always had on the side of my nose near my eye, lol.


Breakdown...

Lid - Glamour Doll Eyes 'Immature' eyeshadow, which is a really pretty shimmery green-teal. It's not a color I'd normally gravitate towards, but it's very pretty and intensely pigmented. Lovely to work with too. Not a lot of fallout.

Outer V and some Lid - Glamour Doll Eyes 'Grease Lightning' eyeshadow, an olive/khaki green with gold shimmer. LOVE this color. It's beautiful. Unfortunately you can't see it very much in this look because I just used it to make the transition from green to black less harsh.

Liner/Cat Wing - Glamour Doll Eyes 'Graffiti' eyeshadow, which is black but has emerald green sparkle. I think the sparkle would show better if I had used the shadow wet. Oops.

Highlight - NARS Bellissima I

Eyelashes have an extra crispy coating (lol) of NYX Doll Eyes mascara.

Brows are filled in with Billion Dollar Brows powder in Taupe, which always photographs much redder than it actually is. It's truly a seal brown with NO redtones in it whatsoever, but tell that to my camera...

Like these shadows? My Pretty Pink Box has a special holiday deal on them!
