From what I can see it looks good. You might want to list the products you used so we can give you advice on which ones might suit you (and not list repeats). Another thing that helps is taking pictures in direct sunlight (that's when I get my best FOTDs.
I like Femme Noir (even though I don't have it and it's been DC'd) for green smokey eyes.

It is very pretty!

I would recommend to wear the outer v and the crease a bit darker. And apply a highlighter under your eyebrows, that makes your look more "complete" if you can say so.

^^^ I agree.

I agree with making the outer crease darker with maybe carbon...and adding a highlight color like Ricepaper...But I like the look you have going .. I personally like a slightly darker liner on the waterline...but everyone doesn't

 

[blazeno.8]

It looks like a lot of the colors you have listed are frosty. I like having mostly matte colors for smokey eyes with a pop of something shimmery. The only matte green that MAC has in the general line is called "Green Smoke" or something like that. That with carbon or maybe even embark (a dark matte brown) would be good.

 

[Boasorte]

thanks girls, I really suck at eyeliner, and I need to buy Carbon asap, I have a black shadow, but it's crazy glittery, not that I go anywhere to wear dark shadow, but just in case I do lol
I though that when doing a smokey eye, the outer V was just suppose to be a darker colour than the shadow, but idk where I heard that.... it was bad advice I guess

It's a good look, the colours are great on you. I think it just needs a little polishing, feels unfinished. Highlight the browbone and also a small smudge of something pale and shimmery (perhaps a gold) in the center of the lid to highlight, and a little shading in a medium/dark neutral brown in the crease as well.
A little eyeliner on the lower lashes would perhars make a more dramatic statement-the green suits you very well, just needs a little boldness!

Looks great! I would add black eyeliner to the waterline.

 

[Boasorte]

Yes those colours are frosty, I think, I'm still not sure of the difference btween satin frost and shimmery

 

[kyoto]

You're off to a great start, just need more definition like mentioned above and highlight.

 

[madnicole]

Definitely agree with the highlighter, and darker crease (or/ outer v) - the crease colour can be black, dark brown or even a darker green like plumage). You don't need eyeliner for some looks, but if you are aiming for a smokey look, you need to define the eye better with eyeliner on upper and lower lashlines. The other thing that I have recently realised is the colour base you use makes SUCH a difference to your end result. If you used a NYX jumbo crayon in blackbean, you'll get a much darker and smokier effect, likewise if you used Horseradish, you would get a brighter green...
HTH's...
Also, very hard to see much about your application because the pic isn't great (not that I can talk, I still haven't worked out how to get great photos to post!)

Hi there! I did a smokey green look a little bit ago if you want to take a look!
I'm heavy lidded but I figured I'd help. Feel free to ask questions!

I think the green looks great on you...I agree with adding some eyeliner, that will give everything a much more finished look. Don't be scurred of the eyeliner girl! Practice makes perfect
