Ever since Pantone announced Emerald as the color of the year 2013, I’ve been meaning to do a look with emerald using my MAC Double feature eye shadow. This eye shadow duo is Limited Edition and has the most gorgeous emerald shade!
I’ve created a simple, wearable look with it using a wash of emerald on the lid, matte ochre in the crease, dewy healthy looking skin and a glossy neutral lip! Hope you like the look! Don’t forget to leave your comments below!
Products used for the eyes :
- MAC Smolder eye kohl
- MAC Cinematics Double feature eye shadow duo (Reviewed HERE)
- MAC Pro longwear concealer NC42
- MAC Ricepaper eye shadow
- Rimmel Scandal Eyes Mascara
- Sleek Brow kit : Extra Dark
For this look, I smudged MAC Smolder eye kohl on the upper lash line, applied a wash of the emerald eye shadow and softened it in the crease using the matte ochre eye shadow from the same duo. Next, I lined my waterline with kohl, added a touch of Ricepaper eye shadow in the inner corner and finish the look with some mascara. Quite simple and easy to create!
Products used for the Face :
- Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation no. 52
- Ben Nye Luxury Powder : Cameo
- Bourjois Delice de poudre bronzing powder
- MAC Blush : Pinch Me
Products used for the lips :
- MAC lip pencil : Spice
- MAC lipstick : Creme in Your Coffee
- MAC Cremesheen glass : Deelight
This one of the rare timeS that I’ve done a proper routine for the lips – using lip liner, lipstick, blotting and reapplying and finally adding a touch of gloss. I have to say the result is much better than usual, can you see the difference?

Thats because I’m wearing the lip liner and gloss with it, it alters the shade 🙂 Otherwise its a bit more nude and less warm when worn on its own!
OMG! Any chance of a review on the MAC lipliner and lipstick? The end result is gorgeous! Do you think this colour combo would work on darker skin tones? (Say – NC35 to NC40?)
I will review both soon Zee! It would definitely work for NC40. I’m somewhere between NC37/40 myself though the flash may be making me look a little lighter.
Oops, sorry, I forgot to mention… Do you have a review on the Lipglass too?
Thanks Ankita!
the lip colour def looks awesome 🙂

Hi Ankita,
This look of yours is gorgeous. what color contact lens are you wearing?
i think its gorgeous eye shadow. u have got nice lashes.
Isn’t Creme in Your Coffee a great shade for warm skintones? It’s one of my favourite MAC lipsticks ever. I’ve used to over both Whirl and Spice lip pencils and prefer the shade I get with Spice as a base.
eye makeup is just awesome…
