Thanks Cin for the reminder.....

Since spring is nearing hooray I thought we could try out some of the colors miss k posted for spring....lets see if we can coordinate yellow and green in a combination this week...have fun with this!!!!

what a fortunate coincidence! JJ, I've been skimming the boards all day waiting for your challenge (I'm having a lot of fun w/these, now that I've started participating ), and wouldn't ya know it, the colours I happened to choose for today go right along w/your theme! I didn't choose the same shades of yellow and green that Miss K has posted on her blog, courtesy of Pantone, for Spring, but I'll let y'all decide if this counts anyway








sorry I went overboard w/the pix, but I was just SO happy w/how bright and fresh and Spring-y this turned out I was inspired by girl_geek's recent FOTDs (must give credit where it's due ), the one w/the Oceanic bright-lining and the metallic eye she just did w/tangled tinsel + sea of love... the colours I used today are sunny disposition EP, mandarin OL, bamboo OL, fig OL; I wetlined w/ a brilliant verdant green that I frank'd (mostly from a couple of Rocks! greens, if I remember correctly)... thx for looking!

*MWAH!*
Tanya

oohh...so pretty...oh yes it counts...any yellow and green is just fine to use...perfect and beautiful....

thx JJ! I didn't have any bold yellows in this combo, and that BRIGHT eye liner is nowhere near the subtly lush, warm green of "dark citron" LOL maybe the "anything goes as long as it's yellow and green" bit will help others feel like they can participate in this challenge, too (HINT HINT, ladies! ) heck, I might try this challenge again later this week myself... come on, Spring!!

*MWAH!*
Tanya

I absolutely love the liner...very gorgeous...yes any shade of yellow or green will be perfect...you did a great job...I am also going to do this challenge myself....I can't wait to try it out...I have some of the colors but not alot of the greens....I have bright green like severina...I love that one....

i really love these colors on you. that green just makes your eyes sing. and it goes nicely with the soft pink lip.

Beautiful as always Tanya! I also love you hair like that.

Very nice look on you Tanya! I absolutely love that 3rd pic of you. I don't believe I've ever seen a side shot of you? Makes you even prettier cuz now you're in 3D - :lol
and I really love your shirt!

Ah, it's been awhile since I've done a challenge look. Partly because my camera has been MIA and I just haven't had the time for much makeup lately. But alas... here we go.

Face:
2L/2YL Glissade
Dolly on cheeks
Angel all over to soften cheeks
And for the last few days I've been filling in my brows!! =O Today I decided to use Willow Matte!

Eyes:
Nude Frost all over lid
Dandelion all over that
Emerald in crease and lightly on lower lash line (this didn't turn out as green as I would have liked... maybe next time I'll try Arbor)
Brown liner on top and barely on bottom

I really like this look.....very very pretty...I love the way you lined your eyes also....great job...

looks very nice FH!
I like the look of your "filled in" brows too
So cute!!

thx ladies! I haven't brightlined in a really long time - I'd forgotten what a fun look that can be!

btw Cristin, I saw that shirt at Costco a month or so ago and fell in love - I'm excited it's finally getting warm enough that I can wear it w/o having to layer and cover up all of the pretty colours!

FH, I love Love LOVE this combo on you!! I know you weren't keen on how the green turned out, but I think it's SO pretty, very lush w/o being "obvious" and your lining is beautiful, really enhances your pretty blue peepers

*MWAH!*
Tanya

PS Cristin, hadn't even thought of the "3D" thing w/pix from different angles, thx for being so sweet! I just took lots of pix b/c I was so happy w/how this look turned out! LOL

*MWAH!*
Tanya

Thanks ladies!

Tanya, I <3 your bright lining!! I tried it once on myself... can't remember what color I used now, but in the end I didn't really like it too much.

I love both of your interpretations of this challenge. I don't think I've ever paired yellow and green before. I'll have to get creative and see what I come up with.

Oooo. I'm wearing Nico today! Just straight up but when I get home I'll try to remember to add some green somewhere and snap some pics.

I tried a yellow/green (bigneonglitter & greenhell) eye today and it looked hideous on me so I wiped it off and did a neutral eye for the day. I think I could pull off sunny disposition w/ basil but nothing bright or exciting. I'll try again tomorrow.

Hey you - try something softer for the yellow, like Daphne or Sunny Disposition, or similar, and then add a mossier green like Moss (of course) or Brianna, or any of the slighly muted mossy/foresty greens.

I think you could do a bright yellow if you paired it with a more muted complementary shade like Longing or Chocolate Heart or another rosey/plummy/mauvey/earthy brown.

And you could do greenhell as a bright accent with a more muted earth crease like Tarnish or Willow or again a muted plum/violet.

I think the intensity of bigneonglitter + greenhell was just at odds with your own coloring, since you are lower contrast and muted.

I'd love to see what you come up with!

-b.

Bridget was right, bright greens/yellows compete with my coloring and do not compliment it. I paired a richer, muted green with a soft buttery yellow and I think it turned out really nice. I think I'm starting to love green on me as long as it's the *right* green.

frosty brown e/s crayon - lid/crease
wintergreen Holiday 2008 - lid
sabine Bete Noire - crease/v
be mine Valentine 2009 - brow bone (it doesn't show up a lot in these photos, but it's yellow and it's there -- so it counts)
evergreen gel liner - smudged under lower lashes
black mascara

2y/2yl voile blend - all over
Translucent Ultra Resolution Finishing Powder - t-zone
dolly gothic lolita rouge - cheeks
