Oh also the lines do give the mask more texture and over time if the gold glitter comes off a bit, the green will show.

Excellent question. This was a work in progress and I didn't plan it out beforehand. I thought the mask looked too naked so I added glitter to the mask. If you want the green lines to come through you can use a QTip to go over the lines and wipe off the glitter.
