PANTONE Emerald Look 2

 Entirely Emerald Smokey Eye + Glitter

This is the look I wore for St. Patrick's Day this year! Had so much fun with it... Check it out:

I also used the Sephora + PANTONE Universe Emerald Color Cube Lid Liner Stain & Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Liner in "Stage Dive" for this look :)

This is how...

I achieve my everyday smokey eye. Yes, these colors are all purples, but you can replace them with ANY colors you want -- Just pick equivalent light/medium/dark colors. This whole process takes me about 15-20 minutes depending on if it's a good blending/cat eye day or not haha

 

 

Here's what I used:

This is the palette I used! Gorgeous YSL
so luxurious haha Don't believe you can
purchase this exact palette anymore,
but THIS Lancome Palette in "Amythyst Glam" is
almost identical.
I will refer to the numbers of the shadow colors -
also the order I used them

This is everything I used! (I will refer to
these in the pictures below)

Currently Rocking My World:

Organic Virgin Coconut Oil

This stuff is bomb dot com. So originally I picked this up from Trader Joes to remove my eye makeup. Obviously I wear a fair amount of makeup for my job, but lately my eyes have been burning and stinging from the makeup remover wipes I usually use to remove my eye makeup. Coconut oil has changed my life!!!

PANTONE Emerald Look 1

Let the PANTONE Emerald Madness Begin...

At the beginning of the year, part of our required look was to incorporate Emerald into our looks every day. This was the fastest way to inspire creativity & experimentation with my daily makeup haha. After rockin Emerald almost every day for a few months, I am super comfortable with it and often end up reaching for the color when I am in a rush and want to add some flavor to my typical smokey eye.

Here is the first of my favorite PANTONE Emerald inspired looks: 

After the pics I'll give a little description about how I put these eyeballs together + the other products I used.

17-5641 Emerald: PANTONE's Color of the Year 2013

 

PANTONE describes Emerald as:  "Lively. Radiant. Lush… A color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony"

If you have never heard of PANTONE before, they are THE color authority of the world. They are known for their color matching system that is used in everything from printing to fabrics to car colors to makeup and everything in between. Sephora currently has an exclusive collaboration with PANTONE (Sephora + PANTONE UNIVERSE) -- anyone remember Tangarine Tango from last year?

I LOVE this color! It is so vibrant and fun, but totally wearable at the same time! PANTONE's Emerald shade lies directly between blue & green on the color spectrum so it is flattering on every skin tone and eye color!

First Post! Woo!!

About me:

Hey! I'm Kaitlyn. The first thing people notice about me is my sickeningly happy aura and contageous, sometimes crazy laugh. I am passionate about everything I do, live every glorious moment with a positive outlook, and have as much fun as I possibly can. Currently employed at Sephora (always been my dream job! side note: everything on this blog is exclusively my own opinion, I do not claim to represent Sephora as a whole in any way), and hoping down the line to blend my nerdy science self with my creative makeup artist self.

I could literally talk about makeup and skincare for hours every day -- Oh wait, I'm already doing that! I will use this blog to share everything from the experience I pick up while working in the Beauty Industry to personal secrets of success. I have been stalking various makeup blogs for years now and believe they are a fantastic outlet for beginners to pros and everyone in between. I hope my posts are enlightening, inspiring, and fun. Grab that primer and let's do this!
