Gotta wear green!
Is green eye makeup a lot more of a fall or a spring look for you? ASKING FOR A FRIEND.

I think if you’ve got a dark green up in the mix, like a jewel-toned green or an emerald green, then yeah, whatever’s happening on your lids is absolutely a fall look, especially if you add a matte nude or matte brown lippie to the mix.

REKLAMA

That’s what I did the other day. I wore this green lid-and-liner combo using a shimmery light medium green shadow on my lids and a dark green opalescent pencil liner (with a touch of a darker grayish green on the outer corner) to get groceries and pick up Coywolf from preschool, and I got the nicest compliments from her teachers.

This little one isn’t so little anymore!

REKLAMA

I think the matte browns in the crease and the beige base help to keep the greens wearable for daytime because the neutrals ground the brighter lid and lash line.

Of course, this same placement would also work with other jewel-toned shades, and hmm… now that I think about it, I may have to try sapphire liner and lids next!

A few a lot more quick winged tips, in case you decide to try this look!

1. Do your winged liner first.

This allows you to reference the end point of your wing and a lot more easily figure out how far out and up you can take your eyeshadow.

2. Sharpen that pencil tip.

The pointier and sharper the idea of your pencil, the much easier it will be to control the weight of your lines.

3. If you have hooded lids like I do, select a thinner line.

The thicker the liner on your upper lash line, the a lot more hooded your lids may appear. I suggest using the thinnest line you can.

Blast from the past

Goodness gracious, time flies. I found Connor’s first-day-of-school pics from the last couple years, and just look at how tiny her curly pigtails were.
