How to use Mint Green Eye Shadow PT. 2!!!

I will be using some of the same products I used in Part 1 for Part 2, such as the Maybelline New York Color Tattoo in "Edgy Emerald", the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette and the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. All of which you do not need!!! There are so many dupes for these now. Honestly, just go into your local drugstore or Target and there are so many alternatives to save you from burning a hole in your wallet and they are seriously just as good in quality!

For Part 2, I'm doing a more neutral take with this bright color and using it as part of my liner for just a pop of color, so people may feel more comfortable taking this direction with the mint green.

Step 1: We must prime our eyes to keep the makeup lasting all day.


Step 2: I take a fluffy brush and I use the color "Tease" from my Naked 2 Palette and place the color in my crease.


Step 3: Take a flat brush and the color "Champagne Truffle" from the Chocolate Bar Palette and place it all over the eyelid, on the inner corner and under the eyebrow. I love this color to really just open up and brighten the eyes.


Step 4: Grab an angled brush and use the color "Triple Fudge" and place this color under your bottom waterline. In Part 1, I just went a third of the way in with the under-eye liner, but for this part, I prefer to take it all the way under.


Step 5: Taking the same angled brush, clean off the previous color and then use "Edgy Emerald" to create a winged liner. Create a larger portion then you would usually do because I use a different liner in the next step.


Step 6: Finally, take a black or brown gel liner and line below what you've done with the mint, going close to the lash line. Apply waterproof mascara and you're done!!!!


Since this look is a more neutral, I like to pair it with a bright lipstick! I use Maybelline Color Vivid in 870, "Shocking Coral".



I really hope you've enjoyed this mini series and I hope that it helps you when you don't know how to use bright colors. This is the way I do it, but if you have a different way of applying bright shadows, then let me know!!! I'd love to learn a new way! :D Have a great day!
