Retro Pop: Colour Blocking

Colour.
My life is empty without it. However, there are a hundred ways to do it wrong. Trending this spring are strong blocks of colour on the face, which can be tricky if not blended properly.
I decided to try one of the hardest colours to blend; green!

 Closeup!
 The trick is to concentrate the colour to one region; eyes, lips, or cheeks. Not all of them at once! SOOO, if you like intense green on the eyes like I do, keep the lips neutral. :)

Products Used:

Face:
-Makeup Forever Matte Velvet+ Foundation
-Cover FX full coverage cream foundation M40 (under eyes)
-Inglot loose powder
-Tarte bronzer in Park Ave Princess
-Nars blush in Orgasm

Eyes:

-Urban Decay eyeshadow in Naked (nude skin tone blended into and above green)
