Tutorial: Smokey Green, Blue and Olive Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

This is one of my favorite looks that I have done in a long time. I don't really like using blue eye shadows too much as I don't feel that they really suit me so I thought that combining them with greens would be a good way to wear them. I don't care about the old rhyme "blue and green should never be seen", I am not the kind of person who follows the makeup "rules", I see them more as "guidelines" and not something that has to be followed.

I used a coloured eyeliner for this look, which is something different for me considering I usually use the good old black. You could totally use black eyeliner with this instead of the blue, I just wanted to try something different for a change.

While we are on the subject of eyeliner, in this look I use a duochrome eyeliner from Bourjoise. The eyeliner I am using is a black but it has a deep blue shimmer to it. If you don't have an eyeliner like this or can't get your hands on Bourjoise, MAC brought out an eyeliner similar called Black Russian. This has appeared in two collections: the Suite Array Collection in October 2008 and the more recent Love That Look Collection in July 2009, so if you were lucky enough to get your hands on that, thats fantastic, other than that, any blue liner will do fine.
