SEARCHMake-Up Designory (MUD), a make-up school with locations in New York City and Los Angeles, has everything you need to re-create this Spring’s must-have look—sultry, smokey, mossy-green eyes!
Nothing says "hello" better than a glance from a pair of sexy eyes and all it takes are these three simple elements offered by Make-Up Designory (MUD): boldly lined eyes, colorful smokey lids and voluminous lashes:
1. Smudge MUD Cake Eyeliner in black along the entire upper lash line. This long-lasting, water-activated liner known for its precision and versatility will help create a dramatic look.
2. For the perfect smokey look it's all about layering three eye shadows in three different shades that compliment one another. For this season's Mossy-Green look start with MUD Eye Color in Tea Tree and apply across the entire eyelid from lash line to crease, as well as underneath the bottom lash line.
Follow that with the medium toned Moss for the creases and finish up by highlighting the brow line with Honeysuckle. These versatile shadows are velvety smooth and glide-on evenly-wet or dry-creating a perfect, long-lasting smokey effect.
3. To complete the look, apply MUD's Volumizing Mascara in black. The rich, lush pigment lengthens and plumps lashes, which help intensify the look.
