EOTD: Aquamarine #1...

Colour is quite a subjective thing - everyone's interpretation is different, and when it comes to blues, greens and in-betweens, it's each to their own as far as labels are concerned. My camera also has a hard time differentiating colours that are borderline (e.g. it tends to register blue purples as more blue than anything else), however it managed to capture this shade quite well. I call it AQUAMARINE, but someone else might say it's a vibrant teal. At the end of the day who cares really, I just love it...



I started by tightlining the upper lashline with bhcosmetics black liquid liner. For a base I used Pop Glitter Stix in Moss all over the top lid, then added the lightest shade from the essence 3D irresistible green dream duo along the lashline as a highlight. Towards the back of the lid and in the crease I blended the deepest teal and moss green from the NYX Bohemian Chic Nude Matte palette.


Next I lined the lower lashline with MNY Master Precise Liquid Liner, and smudged it a little with the darkest green from the same essence 3D palette. On the waterline, I patted down Mirenesse Mineral Face Gel Colour in Aquamarine, and finished with my usual MUA matte beige on the hood. Mascara is LancĂ´me Hypnose Drama.



What would you call this shade? Do you find your name for some colours differs from that of your friends?

Take care of you,

  1. Awww it's a beautiful colour and matches your eyes perfectly.
    I love the little flick you've done in the outer corner too. You must have a steady hand....I'm so shocking with lining my eyes LOL
    The mascara looks lovely too!! I've always wanted to try a Lancome mascara :)

    1. Gemma sweetheart, thank you so much :-) My eyes are greeny, but aren't actually that deep a shade, but I think the waterline shadow fools the camera lol. If you zoom in you'll find that the flick sure isn't perfect - I'm still practising the technique daily, and I'm sure you do just fine hon. The Hypnose Drama is great and it doesn't smudge - I usually NEVER wear mascara unless it's waterproof, but I don't have a problem with this one at all...

  2. Aquamarine and/or turquoise - it's gorgeous, regardless. Love what you're doing, Kats Hun.
    Love,
    Trish.
