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:
-UDPP
-NYX jumbo pencil in Milk (white creamy pencil blended over the eyelid to help the shadow stick better)
-Inglot eyeshadow #59 (crazy lime green backed on top of the white)
-Inglot eyeshadow # 30 (shimmery white-gold on inner corners and browbone)
-Urban Decay eyeshadow in Naked (nude skin tone blended into and above green)
-MAC eyeshadow in Charcoal Brown (lower lashes, eyebrows)
-Rimmel Glam'Eyes black liquid liner
-Revlon GrowLuscious mascara

Lips:
-Jack Black lemon lip balm

Don't be afraid of colour!

This would be insane with green and blue eyes!

This soft peachy gold look is very easy to do and can be adapted to any skin tone (using slightly darker shades if you have darker skin, use less orange-toned shades if you're lighter...).If you're not used to heavy-looking eye makeup, try this out!
