Soft green smokey eye FOTD using BeYu eyeshadow single

Hi everyone!

This is a soft green smokey eye look I did today using BeYu  eyeshadow single #114 . I have paired this eye makeup with peachy pink blush with a little bronzer on the cheekbones and a peach-brown lipstick.

Green color by itself is symbolic of nature, life and freshness. When worn as eye liners or shadows green/blue shades add a pop of color to the face and are a welcome change from the monotony of black/brown/grey liners.

I’d been looking for a forest green shade without any yellow/grey/khaki undertone and my search ended at the BeYu counter where I found the perfect green I’d been looking for. Its a vibrant true forest green shade with frost finish.

This is the final look –

I find darker shades of green very flattering for dark hair/dark eyes combination. For a more colorful and bold look- wear lime green+dark green combo or green+blue combo on the eyes.  A soft dark green smokey eye with dark brown on the outer corner and crease  is something that’ll suit everyone and a great way to sport a subtle yet colorful eye makeup.

Do you wear green eye shadows/ liners? What is your favorite way of sporting green eye makeup? Let me know your comments by replying below.

  1. lovely! although i still can’t get over how gorgeous your new hair looks….

  2. Ur new look is chic 🙂 i loved the eye look *as usual* 😀

  3. lovely Ankita.. 🙂 u gt a permanent straightening ?

  4. Loving your new hair style. I love green, but I’m not much into eye shadows (I have 1 quad & 1trio). I like your look though.

    • Thank you Poohkie! I love using green liners too..Which eye shadows do you have?

      • I have Maybelline chai latte & a chambor trio in lilac (which I got in a giveaway :P). I’d been thinking of buying more, but I decided against it. At least until I actually start wearing the ones I have on a regular basis.

        • Maybelline chai latte is so useful. I always use its matte brown crease color and browbone highlight shade for whatever look I do. I have Chambor trio is ‘Mystic’ and I really like it. I think till you’re not really into eye shadows, you can make it work with an everyday trio/quad and 1 for special occasions/functions (like one with a basic golden/bronze shades which will go with everything).

  5. woww..love love this look..you are looking gorgeous Ankita…your eyes are so beautiful.
