Pictureless Post for Today!

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

On another makeup free kick… UGH! I did wear some last week, but didn’t take pictures. I did another variety of my Hypnotizing with Mulch, a bit more smokier. Then just some neutral stuff.

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

Face

  • MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium
  • MAC Studio Touch Up Stick Concealer in NW20
  • MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Perfect Topping

    • Eyes

  • MAC Painterly paint pot
  • MAC Cosmic eyeshadow
  • MAC 100 Strokes eyeshadow
  • MAC Ricepaper eyeshadow
  • Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero
  • Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers
  • Make Up for Ever Smoky Lash Mascara

    • 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! :D Since it’s out permanently now I have time to think about if I want it.

    A bright look!  :)   I took inspiration from specktra.net’s “Shop Your Stash Challenge” thread, and used some stuff from my stash that I haven’t used in a long time, or never!

    Here’s what I came up with, and I love it!  Bright, but not too over the top.

    Face

  • MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium
  • MAC Studio Touch Up Stick Concealer in NW20
  • MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Blonde

    • Eyes

  • MAC Painterly paint pot
  • MAC Cosmic eyeshadow
  • MAC Lotusland eyeshadow
  • MAC Satellite Dreams eyeshadow
  • MAC Indian Ink eyeshadow
  • MAC Nanogold eyeshadow
  • MAC Ricepaper eyeshadow
  • Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero
  • MAC Brow Finisher in Clear
  • Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers
  • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash MascaraLips
  • MAC Prized Petal Lipglass

    • Painterly applied as a base. Cosmic applied all over lid with 239 brush. Lotusland land applied in inner crease with 217 brush. Satellite Dreams applied on outer crease and outer V of lid with 217 brush. Indian Ink used to darken outer crease and V with 217 brush. All the purples were blended, blended, blended! Indian Ink applied as liner along upper lashes with 209 brush. Nanogold applied as a highlight with 272 brush, topped off with Ricepaper using the same brush. Cosmic applied under lower lash line with 219 brush. Zero applied to lower waterline.

    Eek, full face shot! Haha… I hate posting them :(

    I forgot how wonderful Cosmic is… applying it is like heaven, it’s so smooth and blendable. This was my first time using Indian Ink, and it can take a bit of work to get it blended in, but I really like it as a matte dark purple for smoking out a look. I’ve heard complaints that it looks black on certain skin tones, so I was please to see it remained purple on me!

    Random note… but I’ve been using my MAC Green Gel Cleanser for about a week and a half now! And it seems that my skin is fine with it! Some things cause me to break out, so I was hesitant about switching to this particular cleanser. Yeah yeah, most people hate MAC’s skincare items, but I like my stuff to be from the same people. Call me a dumb snob, or whatever… it’s just my thing. I love how the tiniest dab is enough to wash my whole face, so I foresee the bottle lasting for quite awhile.
