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!
