Bringing out the color…

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

Sundays are my day off, so I took the chance to do a look I wouldn’t otherwise do, especially for. Decided to give a blue look another chance. I’m STILL finding blues awkward :(

(Nothing on my face today… just eyes)

Eyes

  • MAC Painterly Paint Pot
  • MAC Fade Eyeshadow
  • MAC Aquadisiac Eyeshadow
  • MAC Deep Truth Eyeshadow
  • MAC Shroom Eyeshadow
  • MAC Cloudbound Eyeshadow
  • MAC Auto-de-blu Technakohl Liner
  • Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers
  • Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash Mascara

    Different I suppose :)

    The last few days of work last week I did this look:

    Eyes

  • MAC Painterly Paint Pot
  • MAC Woodwinked Eyeshadow
  • MAC Tempting Eyeshadow
  • MAC Soft Brown Eyeshadow
  • MAC Retrospeck Eyeshadow
  • MAC Vanilla Eyeshadow
  • I love it! I think it might become my “routine” look for work, maybe with substitutes here and there for some of the colors. It’s quick and easy, and all of those shades easily blend together, so I don’t have to spend a lot of time blending out difficult finishes.

    Tropical Teals

    OK, I couldn’t take not wearing any makeup any longer! I have nothing planned today except for some working out, but I just had to do a look :) So here’s something tropical (tropical to me at least)… to remind me that winter won’t last forever :)

    I don’t do very many teal/blue looks… I guess because they don’t come off as being very wearable… but I definitely like today’s look! It’s fun and playful and doesn’t scream “crazy old lady blue eyeshadow.” Glad I finally gave it a try, and maybe I can try to work in more colorful looks. Neutrals can get so drab :(

    Swatch of the Day: MAC Eye Liners

    Time to swatch all of my MAC eye liners that are in pencil form! (Fluidlines to come later)

    I don’t have a lot from MAC because Urban Decay has a hold on my eye liner soul with their 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils. But I have picked up some MAC ones here and there. I love MAC’s Pearlglide formula, and the Softsparkles are nice as well.

    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.

    Face

    • MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium (109 brush)

    Eyes

    • MAC Painterly paint pot as base
    • MAC Chrome Yellow e/s inner half, and lower lashes
    • MAC Electric Eel e/s in middle to blend the two colors, and lower lashes
    • MAC Atlantic Blue e/s in outer half
    • MAC Felt Blue e/s in crease
    • MAC Fade e/s to blend
    • MAC Crystal Avalanche e/s to blend
    • MAC Shroom e/s as highlight
    • MAC Auto-De-Blue Technakohl Eyeliner along upper lashes
    • MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde
    • Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers
    • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara

    argh, I need to get back into updating this…

    Ice ice…

    Thursday, January 15th, 2009

    So it snowed today, and I decided to just stay home, and be warm and lazy. I wanted to do somewhat of an “icy” look, and try out some of the new colors I have gotten recently.

    Products used (all MAC unless indicated):

    Eyes

    • Painterly paint pot as a base
    • Sea & Sky mineralize e/s
    • Aquadisiac e/s
    • Top Hat e/s
    • Shroom e/s
    • Auto-De-Blu Technakohl Liner
    • Urban Decay Yeyo 24/7 Eye Pencil
    • Brow Set in clear
    • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara
    • DuWop Lash Venom mascara

    Lips

    • Elaborate lipglass

    Eyes are “complicated” so I’m going to describe it all here. After painterly, I took the white/blue half of Sea & Sky (I’ll assume it’s the “Sky” portion, so I’ll refer here on out as that) and put it all over my lid, and up past the crease a bit with a 239 brush. After that, I took Aquadisiac with a 239 brush and applied it in a stripe in the middle of my lid. Then, with a 239 I took Top Hat and applied in my outer V, and blended into the crease, and with the Aquadisiac. I then took Sea (from Sea & Sky, naturally) with a 239, and applied that over the Top Hat, and blended well. I went back and added more Sky and Aquadisiac to brighten up the color. Using the 217 brush, I blended Shroom in the crease, up to the brow. Then I took my 219 pencil brush, and applied Sky in the tear duct, and along the bottom inner 3rd of my lashes. Continuing with the 219, I applied Aquadisiac along the rest of my bottom lashes, and Sea over the Aquadisiac.

    I then lined my upper lashes with Auto-De-Blu liner, and with my 217 patted some Sky over the line to make it blend in a bit better. Then I grabbed Yeyo from my Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil set I just got today (yay!) and applied it on top of the Auto-De-Blu line on the inner portion where the Sky shadow was, and then around the tear duct, and the inner third of my lower lashes. I topped my upper lashes off with Make Up Forever Smokey Lash, and my lower lashes with DuWop Lash Venom (Smokey Lash is too clumpy to use successfully on the lower lash I’ve found)

    Whew, I’m glad I remembered all of that! Definitely a lot more detailed and complicated than I am use to do, but I am time to spare today so I wanted to see what I could come up with.

    Yes, wet hair again, lol. Definitely a lazy day! Hence why I also didn’t do concealer/foundation.

    So I suppose this came out kinda “icy” looking. Either way, it was kinda fun :)
