Let’s go green together!

Here’s a simple look you can create that literally takes under 5 minutes.

I’m a beginner when it comes to using eye-shadow brushes to blend the colors, so I was pleased with how this turned out – colorful, but not too loud. Can’t wait to try more complex and bold eye looks. Hopefully with a lot more practice, I’ll get better…and you can follow me along on my eye-shadow journey!

Eye of the Day Pictures:

Yes, I wear glasses!

Pardon my unruly brows. Please focus on the eye look, not the brows. Also, I realize this look would be more dramatic (and complete) with black mascara, but I don’t like to wear mascara every day – used to, but I’ve been keeping my eyelashes natural for a few years now.

What do you think of this? Hit or miss? Got any suggestions for how I can improve my blending or application techniques? I want to know, so please leave a comment whether you love it or hate it. And if you’re interested in reviews on anything I used, let me know, too.
