Green eyeshadow

A rather boring title I know, but the wonderfully beautiful Andi over at Saltwater Dreams got me thinking about green eyeshadow and trends. Seriously...run, don't walk, over to her wonderful blog! I can't get enough of her OOTDs and makeup tutorials.

First on trends. Man, I just do not follow them the way I should, especially with my love of all things fashion and beauty as well as the fact that I worked in clothing retail. Recently I have been more immersed in what the ongoing trends are because of some wonderful blogs I read. It's always interesting to see what is going to be a popular look or color, because so often I find that it's something I already have or have been doing for years.

So you could have colored me surprised when I read Andi's post about colors for eyeshadow. If you looked at my very large collection of eyeshadow you'd notice a wide range of colors. My collection has away been that way.

Today I rummaged through all of my eyeshadow and pulled out the greens that I own. Suffice to say, I own a lot. I blame point to my mother for this love of green. While I was smitten with all things silver, green was sneaking its way into my life. This isn't a bad thing by any means, especially ever since my discovery of auburn hair.

I wanted to show you all that green is a easy and friendly way to add color into your makeup, while also still being a fun bright color as well. While this isn't a makeup tutorial, I did do color swatches of the main go-to greens for me. I'll probably do a "how I wear mine" tomorrow.

First up are the four shadows I use the most for my green eye looks...
