Purple + Green FOTD

The inspiration pic courtesy of Sephora:





"Day-glo purple" on the top lid, "forest green" on the bottom:




My feeble attempt :S





Sorry...my bangs just would not get out of the way for these pictures...




Closeup - colours look all washed out in picture - more vibrant in real life:

The green on the lower lash line doesn't even show up in the pictures :( bleh








It would've helped if I was using the right green on the lower lid - I was using a more shimmer teal green colour because I didn't have any forest greens with me at that time. But the green showed up way more in real life.

Also I definitely need a more dramatic mascara / falsies, because in the full face pictures, the color overplays the lashes, but on the Sephora model her lashes are equally as dramatic as the eyeshadow.

Not very satisfied with this attempt - will try again perhaps next weekend.
