The Look: Merry & Green

Another festive makeup look, (you can see my last one here)!  I love the way this one turn out, it looks so pretty and elegant, perfect for a Holiday Party, even if just a party of one (I have those all the time!).
I decided to do something different and added some color to it, and that green eyeshadow is gorgeous! Plus, I decided to just add some false lashes and skip the eyeliner (no cat eye, shocking!).  I was indecisive of what lipstick to choose, so I choose two, and I really like it with both! So, it all dependes if you like it more simple or if you want to go all out.

I started this look working with the eyes, but specially with the crease, from the outer corner of the eye and up to the temple, I put a piece of tape (a tip learned at Alvarez Ninoshka makeup seminar, you can read about it here) to get that straight line.  I started applying the eyeshadows (from the Naked2 palette) to the crease in the order you can see in the next photo.  The black one I concentrated in the outer corner, not in all the crease area like the others.

Then I applied the lightest color to the brow bone to blend everything and not have any harsh lines.
In the lid I applied the gorgeous green eyeshadow from the Coastal Scents, Fall Festive Palette and in the center I bit of Half Baked from the Naked2 Palette, for some more shimmer.  In the lower lid the green eyeshadow, in outer end a bit of black and in the inner corner Champagne Pop to open up the eye.
In the face I contoured a little, in the cheeks I kept it soft but shimmery and some highlight as the finish touch.
