Swatching procedure: My skin tone is roughly a MAC NW20. Swatches are done over MAC Painterly paint pot to provide a base, therefore results may appear different on bare skin.

Photos are taken in my bathroom which has “Natural Light” bulbs to mimic natural daylight. No flash is used.

So I have a meteorology test today, so I thought it’d be a fitting time to try out the Gulf Stream eyeshadow I picked up last week at the CCO!

Here goes nothing!

Eyes

  • MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
  • MAC Steamy e/s on inner half of lid (239 brush)
  • MAC Electra e/s over the Steam (239 brush)
  • MAC Gulf Stream e/s over outer half (239 brush)
  • MAC Crystal Avalanche e/s as highlight (272 brush)
  • MAC Eye Kohl in Minted along upper lashes and waterline
  • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara

It’s very flahsy and green, hmmm

Me = SLACKER!

So long without an update! :( I have three looks to post… I’ve been slacking on that and on wearing makeup. Very tired lately, and the weather has been crappy, so I’ve been wearing mostly just mascara…

The last two looks (the older ones) I don’t really remember what colors I used, so unfortunately I won’t have full details, just pictures :(

I must try harder at updating and keeping up on this dammit!

Today’s (well, since it’s 3am… 03/09/09’s) Look:

Face

  • MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium (109 brush)
  • MAC MSF in Redhead (168 brush)

Eyes

  • MAC Painterly p/p as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
  • MAC Electra e/s all over lid (239 brush)
  • MAC Plumage e/s in outer V and liner (239 brush, Mary Kay slanted e/s brush)
  • MAC Shroom e/s as highlight (217 brush)
  • MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde, Brow Set in clear over that
  • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara

Lips

  • MAC Sweet Strawberry lipglass

I really wish I remembered what colors I used on my lids… but!!! I did use my liquid foundation this day, with powder so that’s a change!

  • MAC Mineralize Satinfinish Foundation in NW20 (Sephora foundation brush)
  • MAC Select Sheer Pressed Powder in NW20 (E.L.F. powder brush)

I forgot how lovely the coverage is on this foundation is, while remaining light. I’ll have to use it more often…

Once again, no idea on color, except I do believe that is Humid e/s in the outer V…

Well… that’s all! Just happy I finally got this updated! I can’t slack off on this stuff, my memory can’t handle it!!!

Do you smell grapes?

ACK!!!! I got to class today, and we were talking about makeup and then I realized it… I FORGOT MASCARA!!! This really bothered me, although I think no one else noticed. But it was so strange :( So… in the following pictures you will notice the lack of my normally long, clumpy lashes, LOL. Besides that, I LOVE today’s look, I am so happy with the Make Up For Ever #92. Such bold, vibrant color that I haven’t found the equal to with MAC (same with the hot pink MUFE makes)

So, even with the mascara mishap, I love today’s look, and I got many compliments, which is always nice, because wearing such bold makeup can be scary.

Face

  • MAC Mineralize loose foundation in medium (109 brush)
  • MAC Redhead MSF (168 brush)
  • MAC Studio Touch Up stick concealer under eyes (194 brush)

Eyes

  • MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
  • MAC Electra e/s all over lid (139 brush)
  • Make Up For Ever #92 (”Purple 92″) in outer V, into crease, and as liner (139 brush and Mary Kay slanted e/s brush)
  • MAC Crystal Avalanche e/s in crease to blend the purple (217 brush)
  • MAC Shroom e/s as highlight under brow (217 brush)
  • MAC Brow Set in clear

Lips

  • MAC Lip Conditioner

So weird not adding mascara onto that list, just seems wrong. When I came home from class I did put some on, whew.

#92 just became one of my all time favorites, I just adore it! And it was a hassle to buy, as it’s been sold out constantly for months, so I am happy I jumped to buy it when it was available online back in December.

On another note….

On Saturday (January 31, 2009) I did a quick simple look, and took some brief pictures. No face products, just quicky on the eyes so I could go shopping (remember, I am trying hard to use my makeup!)

Eyes

  • MAC Greenstroke paint pot all over lid, up past crease (Sephora flat e/s brush)
  • Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner Pencil in 1999 to thickly line upper lashes
  • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara

Not meant to be spectacular, just trying to play with some new products! Greenstoke is a nice paint pot by itself, I don’t even know if I’ll use it as a base very much, probably just a primary color. 1999 is also a pretty liner, but I am finding the softness of the 24/7 pencils to be a bit annoying sometimes.

I think either tomorrow or Wednesday I am going to use Electra and MUFE #75, which is a neon pink to see how that turns out (I just saw that #75 is no longer listed on sephora.com, oh noes!), to try a look similar to today’s.
