3. Eyeshadow Palette

Dive into the greenery with shades ranging from deep forest

to vibrant emerald

. Apply the darker tones in the crease and outer corners for depth, and use the lighter shades on the lids to make your eyes pop.

4. Red Lipstick

Grab a bold, red

lipstick to capture Poison Ivy's fiery spirit. Outline your lips precisely for a fierce look that demands attention.

5. Eyeliner - Winged Perfection

Channel your inner supervillain with a sharp, black eyeliner. Create a fierce wing to add a touch of drama and intensity to your Poison Ivy gaze.

6. Mascara

For long, fluttery lashes.

7. Optional: False Lashes

Enhance your eyes with false lashes. These will add a touch of mystique to your Poison Ivy transformation, making your eyes impossible to ignore.

8. Setting Spray

Use a setting spray to keep your makeup in place all day.

9. Makeup Wipes

How to Apply

Let's break down the application process for your Poison Ivy makeover:

1. Foundation

Start with a clean, moisturized face.

Apply the foundation evenly using a

searchmakeup sponge

or brush, blending it seamlessly into your skin. We want that flawless, porcelain-like complexion.

2. Concealer

Dab the concealer on any blemishes, dark spots, or under-eye circles. Gently blend with your fingertips or a makeup sponge for a smooth, even finish.

3. Green Eyeshadow Palette

Using a fluffy

searcheyeshadow brush

, apply the darkest green shade to the crease, blending it in small circular motions. This adds depth to your eyes. Then, with a

searchflat eyeshadow brush

, pat the medium green shade onto the lids, making the color pop. Finish by applying the lightest shade on the brow bone for a lifted and brightened effect. Blend, blend, blend for that seamless transition between shades.

4. Red Lipstick

Begin by exfoliating your lips for a smooth canvas. Optionally outline your lips with a lip liner that matches your chosen red lipstick. Then, carefully fill in your lips with the lipstick, ensuring an even and bold application. For precision, a

searchlip brush

can be your secret weapon. Pro tip: If you want your red lips to stay put, blot your lips with a tissue and reapply the lipstick for long-lasting glamour.

5. Eyeliner - Winged Perfection

Create the iconic Poison Ivy winged eyeliner by starting with a thin line along your upper lash line. Extend the line slightly past the outer corner of your eye, forming the base of your wing. From the tip of the wing, draw a diagonal line back towards your eyelid, creating a triangle. Fill in the triangle, ensuring a smooth and even line. If you're new to winged eyeliner, take it step by step, and don't be afraid to practice.

7. False Lashes

Apply false lashes to elevate your Poison Ivy look. Use

searchtweezers

to delicately hold the lashes and place them as close to your natural lash line as possible. Start from the outer corner and work your way in. Press gently to secure them in place. Let the glue dry completely before moving on. To merge your natural lashes with the falsies, use a

mascara

in black or green for added cohesion.
