Face

Eyes

Yesterday I did a look using MAC Satellite Dreams and MAC Sketch, but I did not take pictures.

I have no pictures for my look today (it just wasn’t that impressive), but I can give the rundown…

Face

Eyes

Not the biggest fan of 100 Strokes… always comes out a muddy black color. Definitely one of those things that look a lot better in the pan!

I have my eye on Lucky Green eyeshadow that just got re-released. It was funny… people had theirs for sale for $40, and then MAC went and released the eyeshadow again. Sucks to be them! Since it’s out permanently now I have time to think about if I want it.

Face

• MAC Mineralized loose foundation in medium (109 brush)
• MAC Redhead Mineralized Skinfinish (168 brush)
• MAC Studio Touch Up Stick concealer in NW20 (194 brush)

Eyes

• MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
• MAC 100 Strokes e/s all across lid (139 brush)
• MAC Idol Eyes e/s all across lid over the 100 Strokes (139 brush)
• MAC Shroom e/s in crease (217 brush)
• Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Stash
• Benefit Eye Bright in waterline
• MAC Brow Set in clear
• Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash Mascara

Lips

• MAC Lip Conditioner

Instead of Shroom, I kinda wish I would have done a whiter color. But otherwise, I figured out Idol Eyes, being so glitterly, works well on top of another color for a different look.

I have two looks from a few days ago that I am going to post, and then I’ll post a new entry for today’s look!

Jan. 08, 2009 Look “Going to the pet food store!”

Products (all are MAC unless noted):

Eyes

• Painterly paint pot as base (242 brush dupe from Sephora)
• Moonflower e/s all over lid (139 brush)
• Deep Truth e/s in outer V/crease, and a bit to line upper and lower lids (139 brush)
• Ricepaper e/s in crease up to brow (272 brush)
• Crystal Avalanche e/s lightly in crease, and a bit under brow (272 brush)
• Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara

Lips

• Elaborate lipglass

No foundation/concealer/powder/etc.

This look turned out better than I hoped, and my makeup artist at my local freestanding MAC store even complimented me! This made me so happy, as I am always scared to wear “serious” makeup to MAC, in fear the MUAs will make fun of me. Definitely a confidence booster! I did notice my right eye wasn’t as blended as the left, probably due to the crappy lighting in my bathroom (I switched to “natural” lightbulbs last night and LOVE it).

Jan. 09, 2009 Look “BBR Playtime”

Products (all MAC unless noted):

Face

• Mineralized loose foundation in medium (109 brush)
• Redhead Mineralized Skinfinish (168 brush)

Eyes

• Painterly paint pot as base (242 brush dupe from Sephora)
• Henna e/s all over lid, up a little past crease (139 brush)
• 100 Strokes e/s in outer V, and along upper lash line (139 brush, and small slanted Sephora brush for lining)
• Ricepaper e/s to blend and up to brow (272 brush)
• Brow Set in clear
• Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara

Lips

• Carmex

Time to play with my new products I got from the “Brunette, Blonde, and Redhead” collection, along with my new powder foundation that I got at MAC 01/08/09. I figured out Ricepaper mixed with 100 Strokes made some sort of gunmetal silver color. I honestly must admit I wasn’t too happy with 100 Strokes, but it just might be the other colors I was using it with. I’m sure I’ll make it work.
