For this look I wanted to focus mainly on the eyes rather than the face. So the complementary colour for Green eyes is in fact RED. Obviously not a lot of people are gonna wear red on their eyes, so I would always suggest a red lip or something with red tones to compliment the eye colour. For this look I stuck with something that had red tones in the eyeshadow which will make green eyes stand out. Bare in mind the focus was on the eyeshadows used, so I just used about 2 layers of foundation lightly buffed into the skin. I used the HD Foundation from make up forever which I find is amazing, particularly on camera for brides and models etc. I then used a Mac studio finish concealer for under the eye and corners of the nose. This is a cream based concealer, so has really good coverage. After I applied all this to the face I powdered using the MAC Prep and Prime translucent powder.

I then moved onto the eyes using the paint pot placed it all over the lid. I then put MAC Brule eyeshadow all over the lid up to the crease. It was then I worked from the outer corners in using the Coppering eyeshadow also from mac, and from the inner corner towards the centre using All That Glitters eyeshadow from MAC. I then blended out the socket using a KID eyeshadow from mac, and then to make definition to the socket and dark I gradually went up times, using cork then to really give definition the Embark eyeshadow. When this was completed I then used Shroom eyeshadwo from MAC to highlight the brow, and filled in and nice thick brown using STUD Eyebrow pencil from MAC. I used a MAC eye pencil under the bottom lashes called Bountiful brown and I blended that out using a MAC pencil brush. I then applied about 2 coats of mascara using the Bourjour mascara. Any girl shud have this in her hangbag. This has a battery in it, and the wand rotates for you, so you can be really lazy, and just hold the wand against the lashes, it will then turn applying the mascara whilst also putting a nice curl on them. I then finished the look by applying a SMOLDER eye kolh from mac to the bottom waterline, and then Inglots Gel Eyeliner in  black 001 along the lash like on top and slightly winged it.

I then contoured the face using MAC Mineralise Skin Finish in Medium Deep, and used MAC Refined Golden bronzer as a gloss.

For the lips we kept it simple by using Cultured Lipglass from MAC, but you can jazz it up if you like with a pale pink, and nice gloss would work nice too.
