Green and Gold Look!

I know St. Patty's has come and gone, but I wasn't able to post this at the time.  I think it's still a fun look to, and can inspire similar looks with different color combinations!

As you can see from the photos, I didn't do this look expecting to feature it here, so they were taken on my computer and are not the best quality.


Here is what I used:

Eyes:
-Urban Decay Eye Shadow in Graffiti in the crease
-Urban Decay Eye Shadow in Half Baked all over the lid
-MAC Glitter in Reflects Gold all over the lid covering the gold shadow.  Before applying the glitter, I did a thin layer of  MAC's Mixing Medium all over the lid (over the gold shadow), I let it set, becoming a little more tacky, then used a flat, stiff brush to apply the glitter all over the lid and mixing medium.
-MAC Mineral  Eye shadow Duo in She Who Dares (using the green portion of the duo) in the outer crease
-LA Splash glitter in Dragons Lair along lower lash line.  Before applying, I first used a small eye liner brush and applied MAC's Mixing Medium to the lower lash line where I wanted the glitter to appear.  I let that set for about 30 seconds, allowing it to become more tacky, then took another small, fine pointed eye liner brush and applied the glitter.
-MAC #2 Lashes


Lips:
MAC Lipstick in
MAC lipglass in
MAC lipliner in
MAC prep + prime Lip

Face:  Dior Skin AirFlash in Light Beige (200), first applied to MAC 187 brush, then applied all over face and lightly on the neck.  On the cheeks I used NARS Blush in Orgasm
