I used my favorite MAC green and olive eyeshadows in Humid, Flourishing, and Greensmoke. Humid is one of my favorite MAC shadows of all time. It really makes green eye looks richer and gives depth to the whole look.
I also used the wonderful Grand Entrance dark hunter green eyeshadow from the MAC Holiday 2008 palette. I love this green, a deeper green but different in shade from Humid.
I used Manila Paper to highlight. It's from the Colour 4 quad of the Spring Colour Forecast collection. This shadow is quickly becoming one of my favorite highlighters.
I used MAC Fab-racadabra Bronze Face Kit from the Magic Mirth and Mischief Holiday 2009 collection. I can't get over how wonderful these three products work in tandem with each other. Sunbasque is a beautiful blush as it is, but combined with Golden bronzing powder and Buffed and Polished iridescent shimmer, it's perfection on my skintone.
I used MAC Brave New Bronze lipstick.
I used MAC dazzleglass in Sublime Shine over the lipstick.
I did use a pretty green mineral eyeshadow from Earthen Glow Minerals called Kauai Kiwi, a nice lime (or, okay, kiwi) color that is vibrant and contrasts beautifully with the dark MAC shadows.
Here's a step by step. All eye products MAC unless otherwise stated.
Apply Urban Decay Sin primer potion all over lid and lower lashline. Using a fluffy shader brush, apply Mossscape paint pot on lid.
Using a slightly damp stiff shader brush like the 239 (use Charged Water to dampen the brush), apply Earthen Glow mineral eyeshadow in Kauai Kiwi eyeshadow on the lid.
Using Sonia Kashuk blender brush, apply Greensmoke on the crease.
Blend using the 224.
Using the same Sonia Kashuk blender brush, apply Flourishing and blend using the 224.
Using the same brush, apply Humid on the crease.
Add a little Grand Entrance into the outer V and blend using the 224.
Blend and soften harsh lines using the 224 brush.
Using the 227 brush, apply Manila Paper on the browbone. Apply L'Oreal Lineur Intense liquid liner (felt tip) on upper lashline.
Using Sonia Kashuk mini-detail brush, apply Kauai Kiwi on inner lower lashline and Grand Entrance on outer lower lashline. Rim eyes using Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero. Apply Red Cherry falsies #66. Apply mascara.

great blogg!!
I have a question, the Grand Entrance color from the warm eyes holiday set the same as the original grand entrance color from MAC? like the one in the container ? they look different. Thanks <3
Thanks for the awesome step by step tutorial! I mostly own purple shadows, but I think Ill look into more greens since it really compliments yellow/olive skintones! Looks great on you!
Greens look awesome with your skintone and eye colour.
I have the same question as lovesparks.xo, are there 2 shadows from MAC named Grand Entrance?
you have a LOT of greens! =) lovely FOTD.. wow you're using jordanna lip liner?!
Wow, that's a beautiful look, congratulations ¡¡
lovesparks and SilhouetteScreams- yes, I got confused as well. I do have that Grand Entrance shadow you were referring to - that's from the Starflash collection I believe. This one (dark hunter green) is from the Holiday 2008 palette. Weird, huh?
Swtest2Lips- thank you! You should try greens, especially for the upcoming season!
Khymm- Jordanna lipliners are great! =)
Isabel- thank you =) Greens are truly my fave.
That's a beautiful look! Greens look great on you!
thanks Gio =)
