Fotd: Dark Green Smokey Eyes

 

Hi there! I decided to do a dark green smokey today, but not so dark though, because it’s like when people hear “smokey” they expect something super black. It doesn’t have to be. You can do a “smokey eye” to suit the person you are, or the mood you are in. Also, everyone has their own unique way of doing a smokey eye, and there are many different types of smokey eyes  and many styles of smoking up your eyeshadow - something for everyone, really, from the most conservative to the most gothic. No big story to it. Since I didn’t have any green that dark, I just layered a deep green over black eyeshadow. It’s a little washed out by the flash ‘cos it’s a little darker than you see it here, just like I’m darker than you see here. (Still wearing the “retro hair”)

 

 

I’d done this look with pinky lips a while back. The eyeshadow creased before I left home inspite of the primer because of the black kajal from sleek that I used as base (never again). Anyways which lips would you prefer with the look?
