Green eyeshadow makeup tutorial! | TheMakeupDiaries

Hi guys! So as you know summer is fast approaching which means no more quick makeup as we have so much more time on our hands. I was looking at my eyeshadow palettes and realized that the only eyeshadow looks I ever do are neutral and if I change it up a bit, I go for dark but still neutral colours. I own very neutral eyeshadow palettes but some of them include colours like forest greens and smoky purples. I would never use these day to day, but I decided to do a tutorial using the greens in my palettes and show you how you can encorporate a pop of colour into your eyeshadow look whilst staying in your comfort zone!

Disclaimer: I am not a makeup artist in any way, shape or form. This is based on what works for me, and it may not work for you. These steps work for me, but if you want to add in a step or leave out a step that is perfectly fine! Makeup is very personal.

Palettes I used:

• Urban Decay Naked Basics
• Wet N Wild Comfort Zone Palette
• Sephora In the Tropics Baked eyeshadows
  

Now on to the tutorial :)))))

Prime your eyelids. This ensures the eyeshadow sticks and lasts all day. I used one UD's eyeshadow primer.

Now, you want to put a very neutral beige base all over your lid to brighten and even out your lid. I used UD's Walk of Shame eyeshadow. Now, get a stiff lid brush (I used the UD Good Karma brush) and pack on a lighter grass green onto your lid. I used the green in the Wet N Wild Comfort Zone Palette. Then as a transition shade, I used UD's Naked 2 in the crease. I took "Peru" from the Sephora In The Tropics Palette and used another stiff lid brush (Good Karma brush that came with the Naked 3) and packed it on my outer lid. I useda soft blending brush to blend these two very different but complimentary greens together. I then took another blending brush and got Faint from the Naked Basics and put that in the crease for more definition and to smoke out the look. Now this is an option but I used a little bit of half Baked from UD's Naked 1, and put that in the middle of my lid for that pop of bronzey-gold. I took the green from the Wet N wild Palette and put that on my lower lashline and added the colour underneath it on the same palette (deep green almost black). 

To complete the look, I used my Maybelline Master Drama eyeliner for winged eyeliner and my Maybelline The Rocket Mascara for very volumized lashes. 

I know this is an eye makeup tutorial but what I recommend to you guys if you are doing this look for a special event is to go light and fresh faced with your face makeup. I would go with a natural and light-medium coverage foundation, little to no concealer, a light sweep of powder, minimal bronzer (but if this is for a formal event I would suggest a strong contour) and a light pink/peace blush. For lips I would go for an everyday natural, your lips but better lipstick however, if this was for a formal event I would go for a pinky-nude lip combo. 

I hope you guys enjoyed that makeup tutorial don't forget to leave us some requests through comments or email's, as Alyssa and I have plenty of time on our hands now that Summer is here!!!!
