Look Book | Hint of Green

I did this look a while ago but wasn't sure about doing a Look Book post with it. For one thing, many products I used to create the look are either discontinued or hard to find. Also, I wasn't very happy with the outcome - it's a classic case study of "personal color analysis". Some colors - in this case, green and muted rose - just require more efforts of me who usually is analyzed as a "winter bright" or "clear". It is frustrating, but I will always be open-minded towards new things and different colors/textures.

Here, I challenged myself to wear green on the eyes and muted rose on the lips. I am also wearing color contacts that are very subtly tinted with green (LensMe Mochi - the green and the blue models are discontinued but the grey and the brown are still my favorites). 

• I admit that Lancome Erika F was a very safe choice for a green. Thanks to the strong grey undertones and beautiful shimmer, I can wear this quite easily and layering it on top of L'Oreal Voluminous Smoldering Liner Gray makes it even easier.
• I wanted a warmer luminous complexion (I was going for a "summer rose" kind of look at the time, I think) so I applied a generous amount of Becca Backlighting Priming Filter. This is a great primer that makes any foundation blend in seamlessly and gives that "lit-from-within" glow like no others. If you have light warm skin tones, I'd highly recommend this. Unfortunately for me though, the shade is darker than my own complexion and I can only use it for certain desired effects.
• NARS Oasis blush is something I reach for whenever I want to look "subtly bronzed" (the effect is better showcased here).
• A'pieu Waterlight Tint Bitter Rose is a muted medium rose that is widely popular in Korea. It's usually described as a "dried rose lip color" and looks fantastic on many people. Not so much on me (I've tried quite a few), but I can at least wear this one thanks to the slightly shiny finish.

(Oh, do you see I am wearing some green beads earrings? You can't say I didn't try.)

Thanks for looking. I did "Hint of Blue" look right after this one and hopefully, I will show that to you soon. The case study continues...

Hope you have a beautiful week!
