For the love of eyeshadow 🥰

So let me share a little something I’ve taught myself over the years from childhood until adulthood. I can remember growing up and wanting to put on makeup but the colors I wanted to flaunt were never pigmented enough for my dark chocolate skin tone. And back then we didn’t have the Fenty, Kat Von D, Jeffree Star etc. So guess what.. I would mix a little Vaseline on my lips and use Eyeshadow as lipstick. YEEASSS.. you’ve heard right, EYESHADOW GUUURRRRLLL… And to be quite honest it works better than lipstick. So here’s a look I did with one of the JUVIA eyeshadow pallets. Oh and my foundation is MARYKAY-MATTE WEAR LIQUID FOUNDATION. 🥰🥰 Any of y’all have any tips and tricks y’all would like to share? Dont be shy 🙈

... Read moreHey everyone! As someone who absolutely adores playing with makeup, especially vibrant colors, I know the unique journey of finding shades that truly pop on deeper skin tones. When it comes to green eyeshadow on dark skin, it's a match made in heaven, but sometimes it needs a little help to shine its brightest. Many of you might wonder how to get that intense pigment, especially with greens. My top secret? Always start with a good base! For vibrant green eyeshadow, I swear by using an eyeshadow primer first. This isn't just about longevity; it really helps the color adhere and prevents creasing. For an even more intense effect, try a white or light-colored cream base underneath your green shadows. This acts like a blank canvas, allowing the true vibrance of the green to come through, making your dark skin shimmer. When applying, don't just swipe – pack it on! Use a flat, dense brush to tap the green eyeshadow onto your lid, building up the intensity layer by layer. Then, with a fluffy blending brush, gently blend out the edges to avoid harsh lines. Don't be afraid to mix shades! A deep emerald green can look stunning as a base, with a brighter lime or neon green in the center of the lid for a dazzling highlight. And let's talk about enhancing the look even further! The image often features yellow and green eyeshadow together, and I’ve found that a pop of yellow in the inner corner or along the lower lash line can really elevate the entire vibrant makeup look. It adds a playful, artistic touch and highlights the eyes beautifully against dark skin. For a dramatic flair, consider pairing your green lids with long lashes – whether they're your natural ones coated in volumizing mascara or a fabulous pair of falsies. Now, for a bolder statement, let's dive into lip color. You saw in the article how creative we can get by using eyeshadow as green lipstick with a yellow stripe. Don't knock it 'til you try it! It's an amazing way to ensure your entire look is cohesive and truly unique. If you're not ready for green lips, a neutral nude or a glossy brown can also complement vibrant green eyeshadow perfectly without competing for attention. Beyond the makeup itself, think about your overall aesthetic. The creative use of color extends to your accessories and outfit too! Imagine pairing your stunning green eye look with large orange tassel earrings or even a colorful animal print top with a hint of pink lace, as seen in some incredible looks. These elements tie everything together, creating a truly unforgettable presentation. Experimentation is key! Play with different textures – matte greens, shimmery greens, metallic greens. Every shade and finish will create a slightly different vibe. Don't be afraid to explore palettes like Juvia's Place, known for their incredible pigment on dark skin. Remember, makeup is about expressing yourself and having fun. So go ahead, embrace those vibrant green eyeshadow looks and let your creativity shine!
