Hi,
My name is Susan, and I am new to the board and fairly to new ot Silk Naturals. Although I have purchased quite a haul of Karen's blushes and eye shadows and I love them all!!! Mixing foundations scares me...I may have to work my way up to that...However, I am looking for a nice Green combination, but for some reasons the greens have always scared me a bit. I usally tend fall for the neutrals browns and earth tones, or the plums and wanted to try something different. To give a little skintone info...I am half Korean. The typical Black hair and brown eyes. I have been told that I am everything warm/neutral/even cool. I have never quite figured that out. I tend to think neutral as I see pink undertones as well as yellow. Anyway, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Re: Green Combinations?
Welcome, Susan!
If you are apprehensive about greens, you could always start with the more neutral greens like Caperberry for a liner, and Gator Gold (which is Gold with a green hue). I had to get into greens slowly myself and started with liner colors. I love Emerald, Moss, and Caperberry for liners. The most green eye I have done is Caperberry liner, Grassroots on the outer lid and Gator Gold as my inner lid and crease color. However, I really like Teal Appeal or Sea Grass (my new favorite green!) on the outer lid with more neutrals for my other colors, like Teeny Bikini and Vanilla. I think the secret is to blend the area well where they meet.
Mikie is a pro at making great combinations that are much more interesting than my 'safe' ones. I wish I had her fearless way with combining colors, but I will get there one day! Blending is the key. You would be amazed at what you could pull off!

Re: Green Combinations?
Pixie is a lovely green, either foiled or on its own. Top it off with Vanilla or Whipped Cream as a highlighter for a nice look - it will not be OTT at all, I promise!

Re: Green Combinations?
Thanks for all the responses ladies!! I think I will take the plunge and try a few of the greens...I don't think I am daring enough to try Mikie's combo, although it sounds nice. I think I will go have start out slow, possibly pixie and caperberry. I am off to check out the different options.
Thanks again.

Hi Iwoodall10
Welcome to the site
I've only been wearing make up now for 9 months or less, so this combo is very simple and flattering.
Highlight - whipped cream (this from crease line to brow bone)
lid - charmmed (all over lower lid)
Crease and liner - grassroot green
I also wear this combo if I want a little pick-me-up
have fun
