Today I played a little with a new eyeshadow, Cypress Green #49 by Korres, already depoted and put into my "random" eyeshadow palette:
Cypress Green is a medium-dark cool green, and coming autumn I thought it would be ideal for a fall look.
I used it with Short Shorts and Sun Blonde, both eyeshadows by Mac (you can see them HERE) and I did two variations : one more subtle and one more intense and smokey. In both variations, I used it with a light hand because I didn't want it too dark, so bare in mind that it is actually much darker and intense than you see it in the following photos.
1st variation
Cypres Green: outer corner, crease and under the eye
Sun Blonde: lid
Short Shorts: inner corner and brow bone
I also used a hint of Moleskin to blend the upper part of the crease.
It doesn't really show here but it's a discreet but polished daytime look, perfect for work (minus the mascara accident, lol)!
2nd variation
Cypres Green: lid (except the middle of it), crease, under the eye
Sun Blonde: in the middle of the lid
Short Shorts: brow bone
I also used a hint of Moleskin to blend the upper part of the crease.
This look is more vibrant but not too intense, I can wear it in daytime when I want a little more emphasis on the eyes.
I also used Mac Painterly paint pot, Avenue fluidline and Benefit They're Real mascara in both looks.
So that's my eye of the day, I know you can't really tell because I suck in taking this kind of photos, but, I thought to share it with you nevertheless!
What's your most used fall color?

I love it, honey! Cypress Green looks so nice, it seems to have a very good pigmentation too- I have a similar eyeshadow from the Body Shop and it looks gorgeous in the pan, but when I swatch it I see a muddy dark mess :( Oh, and it was the first one to get smashed, dammit :(
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch! It is pigmented, in fact every Korres eyeshadow I own is pigmented and buttery and minimal to no fallout. And you get a lot of product. Go Korres!
ReplyDeletelovely and suits a lot to the color of your eyes.
ReplyDeletethanks Demi!
