Hey everyone!

Today I’m doing a green toned eye makeup look paired with soft coral lips. The emphasis is on the eyes in this look but to keep the look summery, I’ve paired it with a coral toned lip color. Green+coral is one of my favorite combinations and the one that I strongly associate with spring/summer!

Read on for the makeup breakdown and step-wise instructions..

Start eye makeup by priming the eyes with a gold base. Apply lime  green eye shadow all over lid, darken crease with medium grassy green and apply emerald green on lower lash line.

If you would like to go for a softer look, you could skip the emerald green eye shadow on the lower lash line. Without it, the look is predominantly warm with the lime green+gold on the eyes and soft coral +peach on the rest of the face. However, if you like to highlight your eyes, go for the cool toned green on the lower lash line, this would contrast with the warmth of the lime green and gold and draw attention to the eyes without breaking the harmony of colors!
