Green in Spring
Here’s a beautiful makeover and comments from Todra Payne, Celebrity Makeup Artist and founder of The Healthy Beauty Project. She has used one of our green eyeshadow shades for Spring colors:
Green is the color of spring – not just in gardens, but on eye lids this season. Green eye shadow is to eyes what coral gloss is to lips. So we decided to show you the real world way to wear green. Sometimes (well, most times) runway beauty looks don’t translate well “on the street”.
Not so with green eye shadow. And another bonus? It looks amazing on brown eyes.
Elivi is wearing Lauren Brooke Cosmetique’s Deep Emerald matte mineral eye shadow on the lid with Diamonds sparkle shadow as a highlighter under the brow and in the inner corners of her eye. Notice the soft blush color and the light coral lips? Perfect combination for spring.
When you try greens, don’t be afraid to experiment with various shades and textures.

Applying Eyeshadow
One of the first things people look at is your eyes. With the right kind of colors, shades and shadow application, your eyes can become a beautiful ‘centerpiece’ for the face.
One of the keys to beautiful, long lasting eye color is to apply a base color. This not only helps to set the eyeshadow colors so they last longer, but it also helps to create an even eyelid tone before adding color. This step is most helpful for women who have deep set eyes or darker colors or shadowing on the lids. The base powder should be very light in color, like natural eyeshadow Sunglow or Vanilla Creme in the Lauren Brooke Eyeshadow collection, in order to lighten darker lid coloring or shadowy areas. These lighter colors will also create a larger, more open look to the eyes.
When applying, make sure to cover the whole lid area – from the lashes to just under the brow, and from the inner area of the lid out to the edge of the eyebrow.
