Holey guacemoley I can't BELIEVE April has been and gone! I tried to sneak in one last batch of EOTD's so there would be six to choose from for the May giveaway, but the clock struck midnight and so these will have to go towards the June EOTM ♥ Anyways, I'm a massive green eye shadow fan (as if you didn't know), probably because it does give my eye colour a boost, and in the not so distant past I bought an entire palette purely for ONE green pan - whoops! This post features looks using this gorgeous hue from two of my fave palettes - Sleek Garden of Eden, and Makeup Revolution Give Them Nightmares...
I used the three marked pans from left to right - their names are Evergreen, Fauna and Tree of Life. The latter is a matte, and incredibly pigmented. Actually they're all stunningly dense, and the shimmery ones are smooth and buttery and so easy to blend. For the base and waterline I used Eye of Horus Emerald Tabula Goddess Pencil...
Makeup Revolution Give Them Nightmares palette is another one I only trot out in Autumn and Winter - the colours are all so smokey and smouldery and broody...
My foundation was Maybelline Super Stay Longwear, which might end up being my new HG - the colour (Sand) is one of the best matches I've ever come across. Cheeks were a combination of L'Oreal Le Blush in the shade Rosy Cheeks & Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer in Luminous Bronze Light. Lips were Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Rum Riche...
Well my lovelies, here's hoping May treats you generously and kindly ♥
Take care of you,

As soon as I spotted this Sleek Garden of Eden palette, I knew I couldn't live without it - one of the prettiest colour collections in my kit. I put it away every summer so that I can discover it all over again when the weather cools down...
On this day, I wore Maybelline Stay Matte foundation, their Master Highlight blush in Pink Rose, and lips were Mirenesse Glossy Kiss Lip Crayon in the shade 04...
And here's the jewellery, featuring my fabulous new glass bead necklace from Lovisa that was half price at their recent sale. I found the bracelets at Colette - not exactly the same shade, but close enough, especially at 40% off lol ♥
The bottom green pan is a matte called Elm Street, and I used this all over the top lid and under the lower lashline. I then blended the second pan (The Hunger) on the inner half. Base was Essence White Kajal...
Waterline was Eye of Horus Serpentine Sultry Goddess Pencil...

Here's the accessories - I included the brighter green bits and pieces just to lift the whole look...

You're getting ahead of yourself now talking about a June EOTD! I love my Garden of Eden palette too. I've lusted after that Nightmares palette before, some great shades there. Great black pendant. I love getting the black out after summer (OK I wear black in summer too, but not as much of it).
ReplyDeleteLol not really neurotic - I plan my giveaways several months in advance, have to or else they'd never happen ha ha! Ah yes my black jewellery collection is steadily growing - always looks good against a contrasting colour hey xxx
DeleteThese colours looks so lovely on you, green is so pretty! I'm 'eyeing' off the Sleek Garden of Eden palette now! x

Thanks so much Di - these Garden of Eden greens are particularly gorgeous. They're subtle shades but magnificently pigmented and so easy to work with - can highly recommend the palette hon, the pinks are super pretty too, will do a look using them soon ♥
DeleteI love green eye looks also! You look so radiant, lovely lady xx
ReplyDeleteIndie you're so kind hon, thank you ♥ I think you know how strong my passion for green eye shadow is, and I especially love these softer more subtle winter variations ♥♥♥
