Shana + Limecrime + Boredom =
1 minute limecrime eyes!
Here’s a more subtle limecrime look (at least I think it’s more subtle;-) that I did in about 1 minute! (please bare with my photos– I took em’ myself in some pretty bad lighting. My eyes are a lot more sparkly than these pics show;-)
Eyes: Lime Criminal, Nymph, mascara, one small brush (about .25″ wide)
Face: Sheer magik finishing powder, a mac concealer for under my eyes (can anyone say “baggy!”? ;-)
Lots of people ask me how to apply limecrime shadows. The easiest way to apply limecrime without making a mess is to dip your brush into some tap water and then lightly dip it into the powder. Take that and brush it into the lid of the container. Using the lid to mix the potency of your shadow makes everything every easy! (you can apply it dry for a lighter look too;-)
1. Take a dab of lime criminal and mix it with a drop of water into the lid. Then brush it on the top of the eyelid generously up to the crease. The more powder you brush on, obviously the brighter it will become. I winged the shadow out a little beyond my lid and then brought it down under my eye for a little green “liner.”
2. Take nymph and apply it wet to the corners of the lid as well as applying it up to the brow for some shimmer. It will apply shimmer without much color. I also painted nymph into the inside corners of my eyes and brought it down under my eye for some gold “liner” on the inside. (putting shimmer in the corners of your eyes can brighten them up if you have deeper set eyes or darker skin in the corners.
3. This is an optional step but it will “seal” the shadows. Take some sheer magik powder and very lightly dust it onto your lids to set it.
4. Apply mascara.
Face:
5. I applied blush and concealer (though I couldn’t zoom back far enough to show you!). Do your concealer AFTER you apply your shadows– that way you can cover anything you didn’t get perfect;-)
6. A final fun optional touch! If you want a little extra shimmer. you can paint some nymph over your lipgloss or lipstick and it will add a golden hue to it;-)

I don’t have the lime criminal colour but this makes me want it.
Though I have green eyes so it may not look as awesome :)
Nice work! The colour really suits your eyes!
Thanks– that’s definitely a compliment coming from you!! Lime criminal is my favorite color so far;-)
(I need to figure out how to take better pics though– mine are so yellow!)
Spiffy!
Ooh, I love this line and have wanted to try — but there’s just SO many colours I don’t know which one to pick!. :)
I have to say, Lime Criminal looks like a top contender so far.
I’ve been really happy with the colors I’ve chosen – twilight is next on my wishlist! I want to try the glitters but dark colors look really weird on me;-)
what colour do you think would look good on brown eyes? I want to try something out (: My eyes are a little darker than Shana’s but I have the same colouring… what would look good on me?
Thanks! <3
Hi Sasha! What kind of skin tone do you have? Some people look better in colder colors while some look good in warmer and I think it’s mostly to do with their overall skin and not their eyes;-)
(feel free to link to a pic and we can all try and help you!)
What color shadows are you used to wearing?
oh! That looks SOOO cool!
Thanks Shana, um I wear brown shadow and plum sometimes… my skin tone is maybe a little more tan than yours.
I’ll bet you’d look great in the dragon scales with enchant in the crease. Empress would be fun on you too! — I like empress when I mix it with darker colors;-)
The thing about lime criminal is that it’s not subtle but you can pretty much tone it down or up by mixing it with other things which is why i like it so much!
Shana the Twilight colour is SO AMAZING! It’s the most subtle colour that I’ve got of lime crime so far but it’s still BRILLIANT!!! You should definately get that one, it’d go so well with your eye colour!
Sasha – blues would go really amazing on brown eyes! it would make them stand out so much! Dutchess would be what I’d suggest. If you want something a little more subtle but still bright and fun go for the pinks – like pink poodle or prima donna!
Oh and Shana when are you getting more magic pixie dust??? And the foundation primer??? I need more! I just realised I’ve almost run out of both!
Thanks Shana and Brooke! I’m leaning towards prima donna and dragon scales. :D
ooooh, pink sounds lovely! We want pics!! ;-)
Brooke– I’m getting more primer and dust this week– she ran out of everything but is sending me more soon!! :-)
Alrighty then, as soon as I order it and experiment I shall send some in! :3
YAY! I’ll order it as soon as you have it back in…
And I’m tempted to get that lime criminal now :)
