Calista FOTD - (Sparkly Olive Green Eyes, and Nude Lips!)

Hello friends!!! Good morning!!!

Today I'm showing you all one of my favourite looks ever. Warm browns, and Green/olive's!

This is the overall look! Bronzed and Highlighted skin, Nude lips, and of course the green eyes!

For the eyes, I started with primed and set lids. I then used a light warm brown transition shade (Colourpop Bel Air) in the crease and up onto the hood. After setting down my transition shade I went in with a very orangey/warm brown (Too Faced Peanut Butter) in the crease. For the outer corners I blended some orange shadow (Too Faced Nuts About U). Since I was working with a loose pigment for the lids, I put the smallest dab of Tarte Shape Tape on the back of my hand, then took a synthetic small brush and patted that onto my mobile lids, and while the concealer was still damp/setting I pressed a shimmering olive green into my lids (Fierce Magenta Calista) I then took a fluffy brush and buffed everything out for a smoother gradient. Lastly for shadow I took a deep dark brown (ABH Cyprus Umber) and did tiny lil circles of that on the outer corners!

I then did mascara on upper and lower lashes, and applied my falsies!

For lips, I wanted a nice neutral shade. Something creamy and moisturizing. So I went with FRESH Sugar lip balm in Nude! It's pretty darn streaky and clumpy on me. So after I apply it, I blend and massage it into my lips with my pinkie finger!

That's the look!! What do you think?

Favourite Green Eye Shadows

Hello all!!! I hope you all know by now, how I am OBSESSED with lush, shimmery, green shadows!

I have medium, warm brown, eyes that LOVE Green shadows!

These are all of my favourite greens laid out and swatched!

From left to right we have:

Fierce Magenta cosmetics - Calista
MAC Cosmetics - Humid
Coastal Scents - Balsam
Coastal Scents - Dark Golden Olive
Coastal Scents - Forrest Eve
MAC - Sumptuous Olive
Sephora Brand - Hidden Treasure
Shiseido - GR707
Colourpop - Perilune
Colourpop - Hammered


I was planning on writing out what I love and hate about each shadow, but honestly? I'm SO picky about my greens. There's nothing that I DON'T love about these!!!

The powders are all creamy, pigmented, and last all day over primer.
The creams are soft, and blendable, and applied over primer last all day.
The one loose shadow, doesn't have a TON of fallout, and doesn't have fallout throughout the day.

I highly Recommend each of these shadows!!!

Feeling Green FOTD

I am someone who is FIRMLY in the "Pro green eye shadow for brown eyes" club.

I think, colour wise, I own mostly green eye shadows because I think they look STUNNING with my medium brown eyes!!

So for today, I decided to go ALL out!!

Face: I started with moisturized and Sun protected skin. Then smoothed a green tinted primer over only my cheeks. Then I took my MUFE Mattifying Primer and patted that into my forehead, nose, sides of my nose, inner cheeks, and chin. I let those set. Then I took a small pea sized amount of MUFE Mat Velvet foundation in #40 on the back of my hand. And then I did one dot on each cheek, one dot on the forehead, and half dots on the nose/chin. I personally prefer to blend this foundation with my hands. So I went ahead and blended that out, then squeezed out a tiny bit more of the foundation, and I applied a second, light, layer to the apples of my cheeks! I then took Hard Candy Glamoflauge in Medium/Light, which is lighter than my skin, and I buffed the smallest amount of that under my eyes. Then I took a fluffy powder brush and PATTED Sephora Brand Matte Perfection Powder foundation all over my skin focusing it, under my eyes and on my nose. 

Cheeks: I used Clinique Cola pop on my cheeks, (With a light hand, and very well blended out. As this is a pigmented bright red blush!) Then I took Sephora Baked Luminizor in 01, and I buffed that along my cheek bones. 

Eyes: I started my eyes with a layer of Too Faced Shadow insurance, and let that sit for a bit. Then I took a fluffy angled brush, and loaded that up with Sephora Brand Swan Song (A matte light baby pink) and I patted that from lashline to brow bone. I prefer to set my eye primer, because with my oily hooded eyes it makes it last longer! Then I took a fluffy blending brush, and started applying Coastal Scent Barista (Matte warm medium brown) to my crease. Making sure to blend and buff out any harsh lines. Once my crease is a nice warm brown, I then took Coastal Scents Balsam (Light springy shimmery green!) onto the inner 3/4 of my lid. Then I took a different eye lid brush and patted Coastal Scents Forrest Eve (Medium shimmery dark-ish green!) onto the outer 1/4 of my lid. I then took a clean blending brush, and buffed out the harsh lines between the two greens, and between the mobile lid and crease. I took a pencil brush, and applied a small amount of Coastal Scents Chocolatier (matte dark reddish brown!) and I blended that through my outer V to darken things up a bit. I'm a person who prefers to put their mascara on BEFORE they do their winged liner. So I went on to put on a few coats of mascara, then took my Physicians formula 2 in 1 eye booster and did a quick dramatic wing on both eyes. I then as a last minute thing, took a sephora brand waterproof liquid eye liner in Green (It's a medium green with blueish sparkles in it!) And I did a line underneath the black wings! 

Brows: I took my Annabelle brow to go, and a angled thin brush, and I stroked the darkest shade into the top of my brows, and the bottom line. then took a spoolie to blend it all out. And lastly I took Essence Make me Brow in Brownie Brows, and I ran that tinted gel through my brows for hold, and more colour!

Lips: I applied a small amount of Jack Black Lip balm to my lips and patted that in. Then I took Almay Smart Shade Butter kiss (what a name) in Nude-Medium. It's a medium brown, that's super smooth and creamy and softening to the lips! 

And that's my green look for the day! I hope y'all enjoy it!!
