I have never used any of these pigments, but I’ve had them all for a long time! So I whipped up a quick look to get them all a spin.

It still amazes me how very little pigment it takes when you use it. I’ll never make a dent in any of mine!

My life is going to be a whole lot more neutral looks, so today I did something bright. And I realized that all the main colors are MAC Pro shades, weird!
Face
Eyes
Painterly applied as a base. Bright Sunshine applied all over lid. Bio-Green applied in crease and outer V. Bottle Green used to darken the outer V. Shroom used to blend out the top of the crease, and Ricepaper applied as a highlight. Graffiti applied under lower lashes and on waterline.




This was on my list of ones to try… crazier than what I usually would do, but today is laundry day, and what’s neater than crazy eyes for laundry day, right?!
Eyes
Painterly applied as a base all over lid. Chrome Yellow applied on inner third of lid. One Off applied in middle of lid. Electric Eel applied to outer third and crease. Crystal Avalanche applied in crease, and under inner half of lower lashes. Cranberry used as a liner for upper and lower lashes. Zero applied to lower waterline.




Finally the sun was out for the first time in who knows how many days, so I went for something bright. This is off of my “list of must do looks” that I have compiled. I think I really really like it! Yay!
Face
Foundation applied with 109 brush, then Tahitian Sand to the cheeks with a 168, topped off with the pinker side of the Redhead MSF with a 168.
Eyes
Painterly paint pot applied as base with a flat e/s brush. Rated “R” applied to inner corners with a 219 brush. Firespot packed on over lid with 239 brush. Passionate buffed into outer V and crease with 217 brush, blended with Firespot. Paradisco used to blend out Passionate above crease, with a 272 brush. Shroom applied as a highlight with a small shader brush. Using the 219 brush, I used Rated “R” to liner under lower lashes on the inner half, and then Firespot on the outer half. Black Russian liner then applied to waterline.

Some thoughts…. Passionate is terrible to work with. I dunno, I just don’t like the texture of it in the pan. Seems like it’s hard to pick up on a brush. But… when blended into something like today’s look, it’s really pretty.
I got a new MUFE mascara. Mine was about 7 months old and drying out so I sprung for a new one. At $22 a pop I try to avoid buying it too often, LOL!
So my problem is laziness. I take pictures, then they sit on the camera. I have pictures on my digital camera from nearly a year ago! So… this morning I don’t have much going on, so I am vowing to go through all the makeup pictures, delete the crap ones, and post up good ones, regardless of how old.
What this means is that I probably won’t remember which products I used. But I still want to post them up since I took the effort to take the pics, ya know? What’s even worse is that my camera’s date kept resetting, so I don’t even have an accurate date for these
Most will be from March – June 2009.
I run several blogs on a huge variety of subjects, and I tend to neglect them all, so honestly I REALLY need to make a vow to at least stay on top of a few.
First up…
This is from September 22, 2009.
Two words: SPICED CHOCOLATE!
I heard so much raving about this quad, so when I caught notice it was at my nearest CCO, I ran over and grabbed it. I’ve been in such a mood for a “fall feeling” with bronzes and reds, so this really excited me. And it didn’t fail to impress! (Which is always important, as things tend to get hyped up on MAC forums and turn out to be a bust)



I also dyed my hair recently “Deep Burgundy” by Feria. These pictures were taken soon after it was dyed. 1.5 weeks later and it’s faded a bit, but still really red. Maybe I finally found a good red hair dye?! Well, that, and I switched to using a sulfate-free shampoo (Bed Head Superstar) which really helps on prolonging hair color.

September 5, 2009
I went for a strawberries & bananas look this day and ended up messing it up by using a black eyeliner. I don’t like dark eyeliner (as you can tell, I usually don’t line my looks, which drives some people crazy but I like no liner a lot of the time). Therefore, I will only post the open eyes version.
Make Up For Ever #75
MAC Chrome Yellow
MAC Black Russian pearlglide liner (ARGHHHH)
MAC Full of Fuchsia Technakohl liner (trying to unruin the look)

Sometime in August 2009
How great are Taylor Swift dresses?! Haha, I just had to say that!
This was done with some of the Hello Kitty shadows… I’m guessing Too Dolly and Lucky Tom are two of the candidates


Sometime in April or May 2009
Awww, this is sooo pretty, I wish I remembered what I used
I almost want to think I used Plumed Violet Cream Colour Base, but I am not sure.


April 3, 2009
I remembered the date on this one because this was the night of the Fast & Furious opening, LOL! I was going for the import model look, I guess. I used Too Faced Ooh & Aah duo eyeshadow.


That’s about all! There were other ones, but I either didn’t like how I did the makeup, or it was a repeat of something I had posted earlier.
Whew!
I am going to try to focus on getting swatches and collection photos up. I know natural light is best for that, but unfortunately the weather is quite crappy so I’ll have to see how far I get with that, especially today.
This is what I did for September 2nd. Decided to use my new goodies from the “Love that Look” and “Makeup Art Cosmetics” collections that I have gotten recently.
I think I’ve concluded that I suck at applying eyeliner *sigh*

I’m loving the Love That Look collection, as I tend to love the starflash shadows. I’m lucky I ordered Rated R when I did, as the next day it went out of stock online (and it’s out at my local store). Full of Fuchsia is out of stock online as well, and I got one of the last in the area at a store.
LOL, what’s a makeup blog?!
I’ll be honest, I’ve been lazy… sometimes I just don’t feel like taking pictures, and then posting what I did. Or if I did take pictures, I never ended up posting them…
Today inspired me, though, as it was something a bit unusual compared to my usual mascara only, or “normal” fall backs.

argh, I need to get back into updating this…

It was really warm out, and all the trees have leaves now so I was inspired to use yellow and green!
