Jade-eyes, step by step

I bought this green-stardust eye-shadow this summer, and I wanted to do a sort of "smokey eye" with this jade-color. So I did my make-up step by step to show you how to do it.

First I applied a face-lotion to soften my skin. After you've done this, you could put on any foundation or whatever you want. Remember that after you've put on foundation, you should set it with some loose powder to make it last longer. I did not use foundation for this, but I used

concealer under my eyes to make the blue-tired area under the eyes disappear. After I did that, I used a military green color with a bit glitter in it.

*The color in the middle*

I used this color all over the lid, and the color is a color from a palette I bought in a H&M store.

When you've done this, you start with the crease color. It's usually black in smokey eyes, but I decided to use a dark-grey instead to make it a bit more casual. I used a dark-grey color from my Isadora eye-shadow palette with mat colors.

*I used the third color on the palette*

I used a crease brush to get the color into the outer part of my eyes. I also try to get the color as close to the lash-line, because everything about the smokey-eyes is to blend the color into each other. So the grey color is sort of blending into the green, it's going to fade into being green.

Then we're going to use the stardust eye-shadow. The eye-shadow is from Kiko, and I bought it on the airport in Milano, Italy. I love the color of this, because it gives you a jewel look.

Use the brush you used for the whole eyelid with the other green color and sort of push the color onto the lid. Don't use it on all the lid, but only where you still see the other green color, don't cover the grey-color.

*As you can see, you now have this jade-color on your eyes*

Now you can use the thinnest brush you own, and you're going to use the dark-grey color again. Use the brush on the lower lash-line as close as possible. Make sure it melts together with the grey color on the eye-lid. If you own a grey eye-liner pencil you should use it, but black and brown works as well. Use the pencil on your waterline, make sure it looks OK with the

grey color, that there isn't any wholes in the line.

I used a brown eye-liner from H&M in the color "Chocolate" .

Take a black eyeliner, I used a gel-eyeliner (the one I reviewed last night). Use it on the eye-lid as close to the lash line as possible. Let it be thicker and thicker the longer out you go before you create a line out of your eye. Keep looking at the eye you finished first to get them as like as possible. To make them look alike is the biggest problem with eyeliner.

And now for the finish. Curl you lashes with a lash-curler and put on your mascara. Remember to use mascara on the lower lash-line too, this creates a more dramatic look. I used my lash-curler from Ellos and a mascara from L'OREAL Paris and it's called "Lash Architect 4D"

And then you're done! Remember to use a concealer under the eyes again to remove any kind of eye-shadow or glitter that may have fallen down from your eyelid.
