The concept for doing a smokey green eye is just like doing a smokey eye with greys & blacks. For Rachel's look, here are my thoughts (with MAC products, since that's what I know best):

1. Highlight your brow bone with a soft matte cream colored shadow.

(ie: Vanilla, Brule)



2. Apply a sheer wash of a cream eyeshadow base.

(ie: Chartru paint or Shimmermint shadestick)

3. Apply a wash of a light shimmery green all over the lid.

(ie: Sprout, Juxt)

4. Apply a dark moss-green matte eyeshadow to the outer half of your lid.

(ie: Velvet Moss)

4. Softly blend a deep forrest green matte eyeshadow into the crease.

(ie: Femme Noir, with #224 brush)

5. Line upper & lower lashline with a deep forrest green liner.

(ie: Shade fluidline with Rosemary & Thyme eye kohl in the waterline.)

(For a darker waterline, try Tarnish eye kohl!)

6. Smudge your lower liner with your forrest green eyeshadow, with the most intensity on the outer half.

(ie: with #219 pencil brush)

7. Curl your lashes & add 2 coats of mascara!

Peach or soft pink shades of gloss/lipstick will suit this look nicely. Ie: Love Nectar, Prr, Underage, Slicked Pink lip gelee etc.

HTH!

I recently bought the following colours to make a nice green eye:

Oceanique -- all ,under the brow

Juxt-- Inner lid

Swimming - crease

Humid - Outer V

I love all the colours but the "Humid" is just too green. What Mac green eyeshadow would work well instead of this color. I love the look, but I find this color just throws it off. Any suggestions?

Trisha, that eye is sooo pretty! What colors from MAC can I use to try to get that same look? The dark green looks like Greensmoke, is that a gold or copperish type colour above it?
