TUTORIAL: GO GREEN!



What You Need:
Eyeshadow Primer or Concealer (I used: Sephora Glitter Eye Primer
HIP Eyeshadow in Flamboyant (or a really bright yellow)
HIP Eyeshadow in Riotus (or a dark and light green
A Crease Brush (I used: Posh Brush
An Eyeshadow Brush (I used: Lancome)
A Blending Brush (I used: Posh Brush)
Liquid Eyeliner (I used:Black Pearl from Almay)
Mascara (I used: Maybelline in Blackest Black)
Eyelash Curler (I used: NYC's 3-in-1 Curler)

Optional:
Fake Eyelashes
Highlighting Color Under Your Brows
On my lips: Rimmel London Airy Fairy lipstick


How To Achieve This Look:
1) Start with an eye primer so that your eyeshadow will stay on your lids for a long time. You can also try concealer.

2) Take HIP Eyeshadow in Flamboyant and take the yellow color. Take an eyeshadow brush and start from the inner corner of your eye. Dab/spread it about halfway on your lid. Keep applying the yellow until it really stands out on your eyes.

3) After the yellow eyeshadow, take the HIP Eyeshadow in Riotus and take the light green color. Use a smaller brush and start from where you left off from the yellow eyeshadow (half way on your eyes) and dab/spread it until you reach your outer corner.

4) Take HIP Eyeshadow in Riotus again and then take the dark green color. Use a crease brush and start from the outer corner of your eye and work your way into your crease (about halfway).

5) Take a blending brush and start blending out the harsh lines from between the yellow and the light green eyeshadow. Also blend the light green and the dark green eyeshadow, and lastly, blend your crease with the eyeshadow.

6) Take a liquid eyeliner in black and draw a line on your upper lash line. Make sure it is close to your eyelash line.

7) Take a pencil eyeliner in black and color in your bottom lash line (and your upper lash line if you wish).

8) (Optional: Curl your eyelashes first) Take a mascara in black and coat your eyelashes with 1 or 2 coats. Then take a eyelash curler and curl your eyelashes. (Optional: Add more mascara and curl once more)

6) Optional Steps: Add a highlighting color underneath your eyebrows. Also, if you want a more dramatic effect, add from false eyelashes.

HOPE YOU ENJOYED :)

Cherry Culture, Two Thumbs Up!




FABULOUS! My items I purchased from Cherryculture.com arrived on Thursday :) It took 9 days but it was so worth the wait. It cost me $17.95 with shipping and handling to Canada. I would SO definitely buy from them again. Why? Cause I've been doing price comparisions and some items are cheaper online than in drug stores (i.e. NYX Trio in PharmaPlus $10, NYX Trio from Cherry Culture $5). I'm pleased with this purchase :)
Anyways...yesterday, played Cranium with Nana, Alvin, Carolann, and Jeremi. So fun and exciting, I thought it was a hard game just cause I never played. Ah well, I enjoyed myself, I got home at 3:30am which I kind of got introuble? But it was a nice "trouble"? Oh well.
I just woke up 45 minutes ago and I could not go back to sleep :( So I decided to stay awake and try doing my Performance Management Coaching Plan and my Training Design 40% assignment. Oh boy, plus I work all day tomorrow (9-7:00) and I'm going out tonight. I MUST GET WORK DONE!
