Emerald and Gold FOTD

Today I wanted to try something out of my comfort zone. My usual eye makeup tends to err on the conservative side, lots of browns and tans and sometimes pink. Lately I have been absolutely OBSESSED with emerald green. Emerald dresses, shirts, dresses, jewelry, and makeup. So I dug out my bh Cosmetics 122 Color palette (third edition) and make a colorful FOTD. Of course, the emerald green caught my eye and I had to use that!

Face: L'Oreal True Match Lumi; Benefit's Hoola; Revlon Powder Blush in Mauvelous

Eyes: Lorac Eye Primer; BH Cosmetics 122 Color Palette Third Edition; Lorac Pro Palette; L'Oreal Telescopic Waterproof Eyeliner in Black; L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Intenza Mascara in Black

Eyebrows: e.l.f Eyebrow Kit in Medium; Revlon Photoready Concealer in Fair; Benefit's Watts Up Highlighter

Lips: NYX Lipliner Pencil in Ever; NYX Matte Lipstick in Whipped Caviar

I was a little disappointed with how the green turned out. It was a tad lighter than I had hoped/expected. It looks pretty dark in pan and even with eye primer. The eyeshadows are a tad on the chalky side as well. They don't blend that great, and can be hard to work with. It does vary color to color, though.  Some are pigmented and beautiful, some blend just fine, and some don't seem as chalky. It's hit or miss. The gold is from the Lorac Pro palette. I adore the Lorac palette. The colors are buttery, blend-able, pigmented, and just all around gorgeous.
