Spring/Summer look#8 : Shimmery olive green eye makeup FOTD

Hi everyone!

Today I’m doing a shimmery olive  green eye makeup look using VOV loose powder eye shadow.

I spotted this beauty at New Beauty Centre, Khar (Mumbai) retailing at Rs 75 and picked up 2 shades- an olive green and a copper shade.

Here’s the look I’ve done using the olive green shade.

Summary of the look –

On a well moisturized face, apply foundation and set it with compact/loose powder. For the eyes, prime the lid and then apply dark brown pencil on outer corner , crease and smudge. Apply shimmery olive green eyeshadow over the lid and matte brown in the outer corner, crease and blend. Apply highlight shade on browbone and inner corners, dark brown pencil on lower lash line and finish with mascara. For the cheeks, apply matte brown/earthy pink blush. Apply a reddish brown lipstick on the lips and top it with clear or nude gloss.
