Swatch: 822 SILVER SCREEN/SATINÉ
The khaki took me a bit while to see. I had to gaze at the swatch on my skin, however as I meditated on it (wait — doesn’t everybody do that with their eyeshadow??), I found an essence of khaki green.

Then the mental makeup gears started turning… “Ooh! I’ll do eco-friendly liner with this eyeshadow. It’ll be magical.”

I’m likewise using Chanel Malice blush on my cheeks as well as hourglass Day dream on my lips

My hunch was correct. I used two layers of Silver screen on top of a dark forest eco-friendly liner, which emphasized the khaki even much more as well as turned my brown eyes into rich discs of the most delectable dark chocolate…

Mmm…

That’s such a typical combo in nature — eco-friendly as well as brown — however mom Nature got it hella right. It’s likewise a fantastic makeup combo, as well as it’s nothing short of whatever for brown eyes.

As a side, you do have to be diligent with Silver Screen, since it sets as well as dries quickly, so blend any type of edges best after you pat each layer. In other words, don’t dilly-dally, missy.

Also, since Silver screen is a fancy metallic, you’ll want to abstain from applying as well numerous layers. much more than three, as well as it starts to look heavy.
