Plum and Mint

Hello Starshines!
I hope your Monday is going well and that sun is shining upon you!!! Today I played with some colors for a soft look featuring purples and greens!













Products used:
Makeup Geek Eyeshadows in: Crème Brulee, Sensuous, Unexpected, Drama Queen, Shimmermint and Envy
Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Liner
Cover Girl Lashblast Volume Mascara
Revlon Colorstay Foundation oily/combo in 150 Buff
Catrice Bronzer Medium Dark
Essence multi-color Blush
Estee Lauder Lipstick in Rose Tea
Sigma Brushes

Tutorial
1. Blend Crème Brulee with an E40 taking it high in the crease. This warm color will enhance the cool look that will be on the lid and help the others colors to blend properly.
2. Take an E30 to blend Sensuous on the higher crease. Begin with dabbing some of the product on the outter V then spread it out in a rainbow motion to the inner part of the lid. Here you want to drag the color pretty far and keep the center of the lid naked. This step will draw a rainbow from the inner to the outter corner of your eyes.
3. With an E44 take Unexpected to smooth the edges and blend the colors well. This matte shade will also avoid any weird stuffs happening as we're working with shimmery colors.
4. Take an E25 and Drama Queen, be careful not to take too much of the product (and we all know it's kind of hard with Makeup Geek eyeshadows as they are sooooo pigmented XD) and dab it cautiously on the very outter V then work it (brush held sideways) into the crease and stretch it toward the inner corner. Again the center of the lid must stay naked.
5. With an E39 smooth any harsh line
6. Take and E55 and place Shimmermint on the center of the lid.
7. I made a thin line of eyeliner but you can easily skip this step as the colors are pretty intense. I personally wouldn't make any thicker line because there's already a lot happening on the lid but it's your choice ;)
8. With an E15 place Envy on the outter lower lashline and Sensuous in the middle then smudge it out with an E20 and Unexpected.
9. With a Makeup Geek Pencil Brush, dab some Shimmermint on the very center. This step will add an extra pop to the look!
10. Highlight your inner tear duct (Makeup Geek Shimma Shimma) put mascara and you're all done!

I hope you enjoyed this look and will try it! These colors will specially compliment hazel and brown eyes but the association of both green and purple will suit everyone!
