Emerald Green Eye Tutorial!

One of the many new things I want to try in 2017 is tutorials! Every time I do makeup on myself or others I think, why am I not making this a tutorial for others? So here it is, my first ever makeup tutorial! This first tutorial is actually on my younger sister Phoebe. Phoebe has always wanted to wear an emerald green eye look, so I decided to do one on her today and it turned out to be so gorgeous. Below I will show pictures of the look and talk about some of the products I used to create this look, enjoy!
To start this look, I primed Phoebe's face using the Maybelline Baby Skin Primer to make her skin look pore-less and feel baby soft. Next I applied the Pond's Luminous Finish BB Cream in Light to give her a natural, glowy look while still providing a little bit of coverage using a real techniques damp sponge. To conceal, I used the same sponge to apply the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in the shade Light to cover her under eyes and any other spots she wanted more coverage on. After I applied foundation and concealer, I used the Coty Airspun Powder in Translucent to set her entire face before moving onto the eyes.
Before I dove into the shadows, I first applied a NYX eye primer in white to ensure the longevity of the shades. Next, I started to apply a light cream shade from the Morphe X KathleenLights Palette, which is where all of the shadows I used are from. I then took the lightest brown from the palette in her crease, almost creating a cut-crease look. After that I proceeded to take the emerald green metallic shade on a small brush to pack the color on the eyelid to ensure a very bright color payoff. To create a deeper cut crease effect I used a dark brown shade to outline the crease of her eye and continued to blend out the line. I took that same shade onto her lower lash line to give the eye a more dramatic effect. Before mascara I used the Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil in Medium to fill in her already full brows, just to give them more definition. To finish off the eyes, I applied her favorite Kat Von D mascara to her lashes that are already super long and fairy-like!
After the eyes were complete, I moved onto contour, bronzer, and blush. For all three cheek products I used the Kevyn Aucoin Contour Palette, which has a beautiful set of colors for the cheeks. I also highlighted her face using Becca Cosmetics Pearl Highlighter to give her a glowing, healthy look. To finish off the look I took the Make Up For Ever Mist & Fix setting spray to ensure the longevity of the look and to make the makeup look less cakey. Last, but certainly not least, I applied the Jeffree Star Liquid Lipstick in the shade Posh Spice, that matches the crease shade in the eye-look.

And there you have it, my first tutorial! I really enjoyed this kind of post and will definitely continue to do more in the future. I hope this was helpful and enjoyable to read.
