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. :)

Neutral Daytime Eyes with a POP of Colour

Hello people.

So I did my makeup like this because I wanted to keep it neutral.... But I can rarely avoid colour altogether!

Green!

GREEEENN!!!

 This is a really basic eye makeup look with a bright green eyeliner just in the lower waterline. It's a quick and simple way to amp up your eyeball routine without looking like a drag queen, although I like doing that too...

Ahh, so nice!
