Ever felt an uncanny desire to get down and dirty with nature? Whether you’ve craved for a walk in the bush, longed to lie on grass or been hanging out to hug a tree, you needn’t frantically adorn yourself in tie-die, there is a good explanation. I promise.
You see when we’re stressed or facing emotional issues we naturally experience an affinity with nature. And what colour do you think of when you think nature? Green perhaps?
Go green to evoke feelings of comfort, calm, balance and relaxation. And what with it being St Patrick’s Day, what better reason is there to preen with green?
Luckily for you I’ve done the groundwork and have rounded up my make-up faves that are sure to turn you green with envy…
Bloom Pure Mineral Eye Shadow in Emerald – made from earth-derived minerals, this silky-soft, easy-to-apply colour blends flawlessly. The talc- and oil-free formula is perfect for sensitive skins and the delicate eye area. The bright moss green has a hint of shimmer and comes with a mini brush. Too perfect.
Face of Australia Eye Definer in Jade – this cushion-tipped pencil allows for easy smudging for a dramatic, smouldering look. The long-wearing formula glides on easily and at just $6.95 you’d have to be one crazy lady not to indulge.
Napoleon Perdis Lash Patrol Mascara in Emerald Forest – the classic mascara has been brought alive in a technicolour dream. Complete with super-volumising brush, Napoleon’s tip is “start with your favourite Napoleon Perdis mascara in black and add colour to the tips, or wear solo for show-stopping peepers.”
Maybelline Expert Wear Mono in Emerald – this long-lasting, crease-proof eye colour incorporates coated mica and a soft-touch fine particle powder to enhance adhesion to the skin for fade-resistant wear. Ooh fancy pants eye shadow, I like.
Have you ever felt a gut instinct to go green?
