Well, it turns out, ladies, that more colorful eyeshadows (greens and blues - colors that we normally swore to avoid in fears of looking like a streetwalker) are now back in style.

This Spring, expect to see more greens, turquoises and blues in the way of eyeshadow colors as well as everything else.

Speaking personally I have to say that this is most interesting! In the past 6 years I have been publicly dressing I have only worn dark or neutral colors on my eyes. But I have seen countless GGs at my job wearing green or blue recently, so last weekend I did the bold thing & I used green on my eyes. (Not along my eyebrows, but along the eyelids)

So don't be afraid to expreriment with more color, but just try not to overdo it - you don't want to look like Mimi from the Drew Carrey show!

Come on ladies - 39 views & no replies - I am not buying.

Surely someone has input on this.

Ok Lorna, Just look for me at Fantasia Fair. I'll be the one that looks like Mimi. LOL

Hi Lorna, Blues and greens. the very colors that I like very much. I really got into wearing make up last year. And those were the very shades of colors that I purchased.

Hugs and Kisses, Claire

(Not along my eyebrows, but along the eyelids) =I no what you do for a living now --you are like me Beauty, you have your own business (countless GG's at my job) a cup and pencils-- That new MAC colour for summer is all we need to be told that greens and blues are in again (Ican't do those colours anymore-way too old)LOL -Nee

Hi Lorna,

I bought a purple group of eye shadow colors from Merle Norman at Christmas time. I love them because they really accent my eyes. A very dark purple black at the lid edge blended up to a silvery dull Lavender at the brow. My therapist thought it did not look trashy on me. I used an eggplant eyeliner on the lower edge below my eye.

It looks better than it sounds. I have only used it in the evening.

blues and greens? i think lll pass. i like a neutral eye,always have.if i feel daring i like to use a bit of purple on the inside corner of my eye lid.blended into a dark brown.im 35 yo.i just think blues and greens look trashy on me,and anyone for that matter. i wasnt a fan of that look in the 80s and im still not to this day.my 25 yo assistant wore blue eye shadow a few weeks ago.i told her if she ever wore it again id fire her.im in the fashion/beauty business.dont do it girls.its still frowned upon.

Sorry Lorna, I only just saw the thread I like some of the shades of blue eyeshadow but I've never tried greens. Well I'm never too old too try new shades.

I happen to love those colors, and would try them if I used make-up at all. I'm afraid if I tried to put make-up on I would botch it so bad I would be arrested for crimes against reality.

What??!!! I was supposed to have stopped wearing my blues and greens??!!!! Thank goodness I don't have to stop now. One nice thing about the blues and greens is that you can see them through glasses. Besides, I tend to wear things that the blues and greens go with

I wear Silver on top and Blue on bottom. Have not tried Green but just recently got some samples from a local rep that I want to try out. Blue, Green, Gold, Pink, and etc.

I'm thinking about doing my nails in silver, what do you think?
I really like blues and greens, but last time I had my nails done in a teal one of the girls I work with gave me a hard time that it didn't match my top. Since I wear grey a lot I'm thinking silver might be a good way to go. She suggested black, but I don't think I would like that.

So a GG can now be fired for wearing the wrong color eye shadow. Thank God I'm a guy

Today I'm trying my emerald green nail polish. It's a very pretty color, I'm just really making a mess of putting it on. This is why I usually go to a nail salon and have it done by someone who knows what they're doing.

I bought some Maybelline "Green with Envy" just to see what it looks like...I think I like it I wore the yellowy green on my lids blended to the whitish gold on my brows.

One thing I did notice was that the shadow is very heavy on the pigments so a little really goes a long way. I looked like a badly painted doll first time out so off it came and tried again. Second time was much better by using a barely tinted applicator.

Love
CL.
