Been lovingggggg olivey green eyeshadow looks lately! And to think i used to be afraid of green eyeshadow! Here's the look! Rock & Republic Ambition inner corner, Nars Nouveau Monde all over lid, Rock & Republic Envy outer-v, Mac Femme-fi highlight Products: Eyes: Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Primer Sephora 12hr jumbo eyeliner pencil in Kaki Nouveau Monde (green side) Rock & Republic Envy, Ambition Urban Decay Half Baked (tiny bit on center of lid), Naked (to blend crease) Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner in black ink Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash Do you have any favorite olive green eyeshadows?  Hope you like the look! :)

I hope I'm not a terribly boring blogger showing repetitive looks but...here's a second FOTD using Nars Nouveau Monde duo eyeshadow. I wanted to intensify the smokiness of this duo, so I added a bit of Mac Humid to the outer-v to make it more nighttime appropriate! I think it definitely enhanced the combo even more! Also, I decided to search through my camera's manual and actually read it so I would know how to properly use it (only 8 months later hehe)...I changed some settings and I think the colors are much more true to life in the close up photos now.

I decided to do a look using the green/olive side of Nars Nouveau Monde! I used mac humid in the outer-v to bring out the green tones in the nars shadow--the camera didn't pick up all the color, but it turned out much more green in person! A year ago I never would have touched green eyeshadow, but I really love doing looks with it now! I also used my bobbi brown chocolate shimmer ink--it's gorgeous but I always tend to use black eyeliner in my looks over any other color. Hope you like! :) Mac Creme de miel on lid, Nars nouveau monde in crease and outer lid, Mac humid in outer v Products used: Mac Painterly Paint Pot Mac creme de miel on inner lid and humid in outer-v (I got creme de miel at a CCO a few months ago but i think it is similar to something like ricepaper or nylon!)

Here's my first look using Nars Nouveau Monde! Eyes: Mac Painterly Paint Pot Benefit creaseless cream shadow in skinny jeans Nars Nouveau Monde Mac Phloof as highlight Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner in black ink Covergirl lashblast I absolutely love this duo! I wasn't sure how these colors would look together, but I think this made for a nice smokey, evening look. The benefit skinny jeans really enhanced the colors, the green olive was much more intense in person. This is definitely going to be a favorite duo of mine, it's perfect for spring.
