green and purple look recs please!
Hey guys,
I am going on a night out this friday and was wondering what recs people had for a green and purple look on my eyes. i mainly use mac but have some urban decay and dior. also what lip colour would go with greens and purples? because i'd like super bright greens and purples so can i go with bright lips too? or should i play it safe and have neutral lips?
any recs would be great! i usually wear a lid colour, crease colour, highlight and a outer v colour.
thanks in advance!

Re: green and purple look recs please!
Just something to try 
Lid: Trax
Crease: Greensmoke
Outer V: Humid
Highlight: Shroom
I think you don't need to go for neutral lips
Maybe try something like Midimauve l/s or any mauvy kinda lip  Its not a super bright lip but not soo neutral either...
Nothing works the same on everyone,but even if not maybe it inspires,i thought it looked really pretty

Re: green and purple look recs please!
I love MAC juxt with MAC Stars n rockets. Like green on inner half, purple on outer half, darken crease outer v with black, matte highlight.
You could totally do bright pink lips, or something more neutral.

Re: green and purple look recs please!
I LOVE wearing green and purple together! I usually do:
Lid: Bitter packed on with the 239 so it's REALLY vivid.
Crease: Nocturnelle/Top Hat
Inner V: Seedy Pearl
I get so many compliments when I wear this combo!

Re: green and purple look recs please!
Greens: Humid, Swimming, Sumptuous Olive
Purple: Partfait Amour, Beautiful Iris, Seedy Pearl, Shadowy lady
When I wear purple on my eyes, I usually do a pink or nude lip. For green I stick to nudes.

 Thank you my dear...LOL
Also, since you asked, I thought I'd try to be helpful...hehe...so one of my favorite eye looks involves bitter or eye popping on the lid, and passionate as a crease color with pink opal as a highlight. Now, I realize you asked for green and purple, not pink, but I see no reason that you couldn't use a purple that's got more red in it and still get a great look...and you could always use vex as a highlight. And depending on how Stars'n'Rockets comes out on you (it comes out a bit more pink on me), you could do that on the lid with Swimming in the crease...
I'm looking forward to seeing what you decide to do!

Re: green and purple look recs please!
I think it's Barry M or Collection 2000 who do a peacock coloured eyeshadow which is a really sexy greeny/purple, I've used it before and it was really good. I tried to find a photo of it but couldn't find one anywhere.
