A Shimmery Green Chanel Spring 2016 Makeup Tutorial

February 19th, 2016 by Karen 16 Comments

There should be a video right up here in this post, but if it isn’t appearing for any reason, you can click here to watch it on YouTube.

Green.

Like the coat of moss the oak tree outside my window is wearing, and the color of the tiny buds springing to life on the tips of its beautiful branches.

Green means spring is coming! 🙂

Aaand green also happens to be the color of baby poo…which is neither here nor there, but you can’t really blame me for mentioning it because, SERIOUSLY, I am so ready for this baby to check out of Hotel Karen already.

Ugh. Still. So. Pregnant.

Yup, greens: they aren’t just for smoothies anymore. Green is good, and I thoroughly support wearing green eyeshadow, especially in the spring.

Green gets top billing in this shimmery, springy makeup look I’m wearing with a bunch of products from the Chanel spring 2016 collection, which is brimming with bright shades of green, teal, purple and pink, but they’re handled in that elegant Chanel way.

I think that if my granny saw me wearing this look, she’d still recognize me, ya know what I mean? I feel like I still look like me, because sometimes, when I’m experimenting with colorful makeup, I look into the mirror and think, “WHOA! Who is that girl?”

To subdue some of the bright green intensity on my eyes, I incorporated a satiny pink, and then also a black liner on my lower water lines to sort of neutralize some of the intensity of the purple and bright blue. Then, to balance, instead of compete, with my eyes, I’m wearing soft peach, pink and tan on my cheeks, and pink lips.

    Greens and blues are so pretty, but so hard of me to feel comfortable in. But the color is really pretty.

    Aaah, that blush is so beautiful… That whole collection by Chanel really had a summer feel, it’s different and refreshing in a world of spring pastels!

    Being as pale as I am, I think I’d have to stop at level 1! Greens are tricky on me with my pink skin and green eyes. Sometimes they make me look like I have strawberry colored skin!

    I already commented on YouTube, but I loved this video! You are so fun to watch, with the periodic goofy faces, going to lick your hand, etc. And Tabs is so handsome!

    Mina fell into the bathtub with me tonight, LOL! Guess she needed pampering.

    Haha, yeah, that shade is indeed everything! And more! Very pretty. Pairs very well with Moonlight Pink. And the quad totally complements the look as well!

    You did a great job on this video, Karen! Loving the greens and that Sunrise Trip nail polish looks so pretty. I wish it had a good formula.

    I’m wondering if you have a post office box or other public address. (I’ve always kept a post office box so I don’t have to give my home address, but anyway…) The reason is so that we could send cards when Baby Girl makes her grand entrance into the world. 🙂 I still have all the cards I received when my son was born. Think of what you’d have to show BG when she gets older. Hmmm, on second thought, you might end up having to get a storage unit for all the cards. LOL.

    Be good to yourself this week.

    I really love that you incorporated the peach, pink, and tan colors into this look. It’s a lovely balance, and it makes your eyes look so bright.

    Very pretty, subtle and upscale. Not only would Granny recognize you, she’d be like “damn, girl… you look amazing!”. 🙂

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
