3 Ways to Play With the Urban Decay Wild Greens Eyeshadow Palette
February 11, 2022
Golden-Green Dream
Warm tones are my comfort zone, so I’m glad this palette includes a mix of terracotta-y shades that are richly pigmented and easy to blend. To create this look, I started by stamping the shade Turmeric, a matte, buttery clay color into my crease, then blended that out with Lo-Fi on a fluffy brush. Next, I dipped into Fuzz, a bold copper shot through with green and gold sparkle. I patted the shade on the inner third of my lid, using my finger for the most concentrated pigment. Taking a pencil brush, I blended Stash, a sparkling forest green, onto the outer corners of my lids. To marry the two shades together, I patted on Twist, a lighter green that appears silvery and sage-like in the pan, but more golden on the lid. I blended more Turmeric along my lower lash line, then used a smaller brush to apply Kickback, a cool-toned brown shade, on top. I finished the look with mascara and a pop of Chill, a golden pearl shade, in my inner corners.
Avocado Smoothie
To recreate my childhood makeup look, I started by packing Kale, a matte mid-tone green, in the crease, then blended that out with a fluffy brush. Next, I patted Supergreens all over my lids using a flat brush. This is a really unique shade that’s not quite mint, not quite unripe avocado, and I’m excited to experiment with it more. This look called for some extra definition, so I drew on a wing using Kickback on a small angled brush. I connected the wing to the lower lash line with more Kickback and a little bit of Earthside, a paler tan shade. Speaking of kickback, you will experience some with this palette, as well as a little fallout on the face. Luckily, the excess shadow doesn’t stick and is easy to swipe away with a large fluffy brush.
Forest Fairy
One of the first words that comes to mind when I think of green eyeshadow is “ethereal,” so I knew I wanted to create a very light, shimmery look with this palette. With a light hand and a fluffy eyeshadow brush, I swept Twist and Prickly, a sparkly mint green color, all over the lid. I tried to concentrate Prickly mostly in the center of my lid. To achieve a more doe-eyed effect, I traced my waterline with a white eyeliner and highlighted my inner corners with Chill.
