Green and Blue Eye Look Using MAC Rated R and Birds And Berries Eye Shadows

Here is a green and blue look featuring some of the MAC eyeshadows that I hardly use. Let's start with Rated "R" from the Love That Look collection. Honestly, I think this was my first time (!) to use this eyeshadow. I love it, though. It's a pretty light yellow green or lime green that looks great for summer. It's been released a year or two ago, but it's only now that I've come to use it. That's what you get when you have a bajillion eyeshadows, both pressed and mineral ones!

For the blue part of my look, I used MAC Birds and Berries eyeshadow from the Give Me Liberty of London collection. It's a beautiful deep teal/dark blue with shimmer. It's perfect as an outer lid color and I didn't know that it can actually work with a lime green on the lid.

Incidentally, another color from the Love That Look collection, Strike A Pose, is an almost-dupe for Birds and Berries.

I also used my beloved MAC greens in Greensmoke and Flourishing to lend some olive green tones to the look.

Here's a step-by-step. All products MAC unless otherwise stated.

Apply Urban Decay primer potion in Sin all over lid and browbone. Using a stiff shader brush like the 239, apply Rated "R" on the lid with patting motions.

Using the Sonia Kashuk blender/crease brush, apply Greensmoke on outer V.

Using the same brush, apply Flourishing on crease and outer lid.

Blend colors and harsh edges using the 224 brush.

Using the Sonia Kashuk blender brush, apply Birds and Berries on outer lid.

Apply more Birds and Berries. Using the Stila No. 5 brush, apply Ricepaper to highlight. Using the 219 brush, apply Rated "R" on inner lower lashline and Birds and Berries on outer lower lashline.
