Get the Look: Project Runway's Smoky Emerald! (Mary Kay Review & Giveaway!)

I'm always looking for new makeup ideas, so when I was thrilled when I was asked to recreate this look from Last week's Project Runway! In case you missed the premiere, Mary Kay Global Makeup Artist Luis Casco showed how to translate chic, fall-inspired, jewel-toned smoky eyes and bold dark lips from the runway to your way! This style is perfect for the transition into fall and is really easy way to upgrade your look.

First I prepped my face with toner, moisturizer and Mary Kay^®  CC Cream (color correcting cream). I put it on any trouble spots, as well as over my eyelids and my under eye area. After prepping, I put a light coat of Mary Kay^® Cream Eye Color in Meadow Grass. This is a pretty light green color and goes on very smoothly. You can use a brush, but I typically just use my fingers. Then using an eyeshadow brush, I applied Mary Kay® Mineral Eye Color in Lime. I love love love this color. It's a sort of gold green, with really nice pigments. There is a nice shine to it. You can put as much as you'd like - but I did a light coat starting from the inside corners of my eyes and across the inside of the eyelid.

Here's a picture demonstrating that:

After that, I swooped a couple strokes of Mary Kay® Mineral Eye Color in Emerald in the crease of my eye. (This is the opposite eye than the one pictured above). The color is a little off in this picture.

After shadow, I used a nice thin line of Mary Kay® Eye Liner in Black and two coats of Mary Kay® Mascara in I Love Black.  I then used my fingers to apply a light touch of  Mary Kay®  Cream Blush in Cranberry to the tops of my cheekbones and the apples of my cheeks. The color looks dark in the picture, but it's a really nice hue that can be built upon.  I blended this into my CC Cream and it came out great. I finished the look with a brush of loose powder, a swipe of Mary Kay® Bronzer in light-medium, and Mary Kay® Lipstick in Mystic Plum.

Here's the finished look:

Green is not a color I have tried before, but I think it's a fun and fresh shade! I really liked this look and will definitely experiment more with it in the future! 

And one more where you can see the lipstick:
