A colourful eye doesn't have to be too bold or too intimidating. I start with Onyx on my upper and lower waterlines . Jaded Jack lines both my upper and lower lashline in a thicker-than-usual stroke so Cobalt doesn't completely cover the vivid green. I was able to achieve a gentle wingtip and once Cobalt dried, I retraced Jaded Jack, almost enveloping Cobalt. Kitten was added from my crease up to the brow bone where I used Barefoot Contessa to provide a soft filled eyebrow. I pulled it all together with 2 coats of mascara and was on my way!

One of my dear friends made a comment that I only seem to post +4 star products. Which got me to thinking, it's because I do not come across products that don't deliver that often. I make mention of this because this is one of those rare times that something didn't deliver. WINK Cream Eye Shadow in Jaded Jack . This grass green shimmer is very thin in consistency. Actually it is quite 'watery'. You have to have a light hand and apply this with as few strokes as possible; the more you mess with it the less product seems to stick around. And while I was able to add an additional coat on to the back of my hand to deepen the finish, that didn't translate to my eyelid. I was only able to apply one coat or the second coat lifted the first. So I went for a simple eye. I applied one coat of Jaded Jack cream eyeshadow, waited for it to dry, added Union Jack eyeliner to the top of my lash line and my waterline then I finished with 2 coats of Physician's Fo...

Opaque, lime green crème. Unsung British rock hero. I love this shade of acidic lime green. It will pair amazingly with navy, white and gold. Per my usual I start with Butter London 's Nail Foundation and 2 coats of Jaded Jack . Two coats is all it took for pure opacity. I wait 2 minutes between each coat and finish with Butter London 's Hardwear topcoat. The creamy finish is mostly matte, there is a little sheen but I could see the finish dulling quickly, another reason I added a high shine topcoat.
