Want your green eyes to turn heads green with envy? It's all in the make up. Not your DNA make up, but your new collection of make up for green eyes. Choosing a palette that brings out your own unique green is all about choosing the right eyeshadow shades, mascara, and eyeliner to make your eyes stand out all day and night.

If you prefer a more natural look, bareMinerals Peach Eyecolor Eye Shadow by Bare Escentuals has 7 shades of peach to choose from.

Sephora offers a shadow from the DuWop collection called DuWop Eyecatcher Shadows Green Eye Intensifier (above). Half of the shadow is eggplant and the other is a green and gold shimmer mix.

Next, you'll need the perfect mascara color. Black is great if you have black hair. Try DiorShow Mascara in rich black ,With lighter hair colors it's best to stick with a brown shade such as lash luscious brown mascara by Blinc Kiss Me. If you love pushing the color palette try benefit BadGal Plum Mascara. All are available through Sephora.com.

Finish off the look with eyeliner. Lighter eyeliner colors compliment green eyes. Brown is your best bet for daily wear.

DuWop Lash Venom Mascara

November 9, 2009 By Carleenp Leave a Comment

I am a fan of DuWop Original Lip Venom which is a nice basic clear lip plumper that has a good amount of tingle, and hence a bit of actual plumping to it (don’t expect miracles though, it simply is a good gloss that plumps a little, where most don’t plump at all). Anyway, DuWop Lash Venom Mascara was not to mascara what lip venom is to lip gloss. Instead, it was rather disappointing for me.

This rather standard mascara, with a bit smaller than normal brush (something I normally like) didn’t really measure up for me on all levels. I didn’t get a whole lot of length from this mascara. I would say it was definitely under average. Then, while it wasn’t a clump fest, it did clump slightly for me. Mostly though, it smudged. I had fairly bad raccoon eyes within a couple of hours. Just to be sure that I wasn’t having a bad mascara day, I tried it on two other days, with the same results. So the upshot with this one is that I say stick with the lip venom, but skip the lash venom.

DuWop Lip Venom Review

May 28, 2007 By Carleenp Leave a Comment

On of the first lip plumpers out there, and one that continues to be very popular is DuWop Lip Venom. I recently gave it try through a purchase of the DuWop Mini Venom Trio. That provided a nice way to try three of the lip venom products.

The trio contains the standard clear lip venom, along with two tubes of DuWop Venom Flash, one with gold flakes and one with silver flakes. The three mini glosses come in a cute little tube. As a lip plumper, DuWop's Lip Venom is OK. I found that it tingled and such more than a cheap lip plumper, and maybe, just maybe, I could see a bit of plumping. But like with most lip plumpers, the actual visible results seem negligible. At this point the best plumping I have seen has come from Freeze 24/7 (link is to previous review). With that said, this still is a good gloss. It gives a good shine and I like the tingle. DuWop Venom Flash is a good way to add a little sparkle and I particularly like using the gold over lipstick. On the whole, the trio provides a nice way to try out the products.
