Shades of Maria : Halo Eyeshadow Glam for Green Hooded Eyes

I love me some glam!

Having green eyes myself, I always love to play with reddish browns and purples on my eyes. But usually glam eye makeup is such a pointless thing to do on my very, very, very hooded eyes. All the beautiful transitions and all the blending work is visible only when I close my eyes. That is cool, but it is a bit hard to go out with my eyes closed. Am I right?

As I like having my eye makeup visible I like doing it in a "halo" style. "Halo" means that the darker or the stand out color is placed in the inner and outer corner of the lid and pulled up quite high towards the brow, and the other color or colors are placed in the middle of the moving part of the lid.

Here I was using two eyeshadows: Reddish brown for the inner and outer corner of my eyes and a champagney sparkling one in the middle.

This is a more time consuming makeup look. It took me around 40 minutes to get my face glammed up.

Lets get going:
After my moisturizer soaked in, for my base I used Eveline Cosmetics Art Scenic Covering and Smoothing Foundation in Naturalny. It really works good and my skin is having a good day so I didn't use any kind of concealer. I used Essence Big Bright Eyes jumbo pencil in Nude as an under eye highlighter. As a setting and mattifying powder I used Essence All About Matt fixing compact powder.

I contoured my face just a teeny tiny bit with Nyx Powder Blush in Taupe. Don't get confused by the picture, original blush packaging was broken so I depoted it and put it in an empty Guerlain eyeshadow palette compact with a mirror. For a blush I used Essence Blush Up in 20 Pinky Flow.

For my eyeshadow base I used Mac Paint Pot in Soft Ochre. My darker eyeshadow of choice was one from a palette my mom bought me in Austria some time ago. It is a matte warm brown. On the free of color, middle part of my lid I've put L'Oreal Color Infaillible semi pressed pigment in 001 Time Resist White and as a highlight in my inner corner to open my eyes, I used ma fav Catrice Liquid Metal eyeshadow in 120 Satina Van Der Woodsen.

Got my eyebrows on fleek with Essence Brow Designer pencil in 05 Soft Blonde and brushed them through with a spoolie brush. I got Mac Eye Kohl in Fascinating in my waterline.

I forgot to take pictures of my lashes but they are Red Cherry Lashes 415 (I think, I threw away the friggin package) and Duo adhesive glue.

And finally, on my lips I used Essence Lipliner in 12 Wish Me a Rose and Bourjois Rouge Edition lipstick in 02 Beige Trench.
