Hey!

I have a formal event I'm going to in May, and it's a...the best words I can think of is a big deal. I have a dress picked out, and it's a dark green. So I was looking for makeup looks, and found one I absolutely LOVE.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzCumS6FBnk Youtube links, hah. The one I want is the second one shown, the one with the dark green and lots of glitter. I haven't a clue what products one should use. I looked around and checked the most well-known makeup sites (e.l.f, Sephora, a few others) and couldn't find the greens I want. All I can find is like, sage green. Hand here - I'm not terribly well versed in makeups! (if you could recommend a brand that's fairly cheap, that'd be great.)

I love green eye make up :) Maybe you could try buying a pallette like this one from coastal scents http://www.coastalscents.com/cfwebstore/index.c...
There are so many different colors that you're bound to find the ones you need. They're really pigmented too, especially if you apply them wet. You can also get the palettes on ebay. Hope that helps :)

 
If you were happy every day of your life you wouldn't be a human being. You'd be a game-show host.

Stace is right, the coastal scents "shimmer" palette has beautifully pigmented shadows and is so cheap. I also like NYX, here is a trio at Cherry Culture http://www.cherryculture.com/cosmetics/makeup/n...&cat=263&page=3# the green one is second row in the middle. I know Milani wet/dry shadows available at US drugstores has some really nice greens. And if you want to splurge, two of my faves are swimming (mid-tone) and humid (dark shimmery green) by MAC. :)

 
Current obsessions: Dior Shadows, Lancome Le Lipstique lip pencil in Sheer plum and still searching for the perfect mascara, back using LashBlast in blue.
