Taupe and Green







       Hey everyone! Hope you all are having a good week so far! Today's look is a fun taupe and green look, with some pink lips thrown in for contrast. I love this look! Again, I was inspired by multiple girls I saw on Instagram. I find so much inspiration on there, it's crazy. So, if you want to find out how to create this look, keep reading :). All tips will be in the captions below each picture. Enjoy!



To start out, I primed the face using Benefit's The POREfessional combined with the L'Oreal Revitalift Miracle Blur.

For foundation, I used the NARS Sheer Glow in the color "Fiji."

Base is done.

Moving on to the eyes, I first primed them with the Lorac Behind the Scenes eye primer.

Then taking "Taupe" from the LoracPRO palette, I put that right into the crease as the transition shade.

Then I took "Satin Taupe" by MAC, and applied that all over the lid, from lash line to crease.

Like so. LOVE this color!

This is what you should have so far.

I then took the L'Oreal Lineur Intense in the color "Earthen Rock Brown" and created and winged line on each eye. Loooove that I found this liner in brown!!

Moving back to the skin, I used the MAC Pro Longwear concealer in "NC25."

I applied that in an upside down triangle shape underneath the eyes, around the nose and along the chin.

We are now concealed!

To set all the places I used concealer, I used the MAC Prep + Prime Translucent setting powder.

Then to set the rest of the face, I used the Rimmel Stay Matte powder in "Translucent."

We are all set!

To warm up the face, I used the Benefit Hoola bronzer.

Then, for blush, I used this light pink from the BH Cosmetics Glamourous Blush palette. Sorry, it doesn't give names of the individual blushes :/.

LOVE the BH Cosmetics blushes!

Going back to "Satin Taupe" by MAC, I applied that right along the lower lash line.

Like so.

I then lined both the upper and lower waterlines with the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On liner pencil in the color "Demolition."

Now, you could leave the eye look there and you would have a simple, every day eye look. OR, you could punch it up with some color. I went into this yellowish-green color, and applied that to the inner corners of the eye.

Like so. Just keep building up the color until you get the intensity you desire.

Oh yeah, now we're talkin'!

To fill in the brows, I used the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in "Medium Ash."

Brows are filled!

This is completely optional, but I went ahead and applied the Ardell Demi Wispies to take the look up another notch.

I then used the Jordana Best Lash Extreme volumizing mascara to blend my lashes into the falsies.

The eyes are done!

And finally, for the lips, I used the NYX Matte lipstick in the color "Hippie Chic."

And here's the final look!









      And there you have it! A green and taupe spring look! I hope you all enjoyed this tutorial. As always, if you have any questions or comments, please leave them below, or on my Facebook page "Beautymark." Thank you all so much for reading, and for the continued support! You all are awesome!
