Green with Envy: Olive Green Smokey Eye Makeup Trend

Rocked by Aishwariya Rai and J LO this stunning makeup look sizzles day and night and looks fantastic on olive and bronze complexions. Start off with a freshly primed face and apply your concealer and foundation as needed.

Simply blend MAC Patina Frost Eye Shadow (a subdued olive brown with sheen) over the both upper and lower lids (lash to crease). Sweep MAC Greensmoke Lustre Eye Shadow (a shimmery olive green) in the crease of the eye. Below your brows use MAC Retrospeck Lustre Eye Shadow (shimmery champagne beige) to highlight eyes.

Next line your lashes with MAC Blacktrack Fluidline using an angled brush. Use liquid liner if you prefer. Extend the line outward in a slight wing for a classic makeup look. Next add a sweep of mascara for lush, gorgeous lashes.

As the eyes are the main focus of this look, the rest of the makeup should be kept neutral and pretty. For the cheeks, sweep MAC Peachkeen Sheertone Blush, a soft pinkish peach, over the apples of your cheeks blending towards the ear, for a flush of colour. Line your lips with a neutral nude lip pencil and fill them in with MAC Lipgloss in Enchantress (a pearled peach shade) or Bobbi Brown Lipgloss in Tangerine (a glossy peach) to finish your makeup look.
