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.

Swatching procedure: My skin tone is roughly a MAC NW20 (maybe NW15 since any tan is fading). Photos are taken in my bathroom under “Natural Light” bubs which mimic natural daylight.

Decided to try out the shadows that I got last night.  I should’ve been really smart and applied them wet because they would’ve looked a lot more vibrant, but I’m feeling a bit lazy!  So another purple look for this week…

Face

  • MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium

Foundation applied with 209.  (See, lazy day!)

Eyes

  • MAC Painterly paint pot
  • MAC Devil-May-Care Mineralize Eyeshadow
  • MAC It’s A Miracle Mineralize Eyeshadow
  • MAC Shroom e/s
  • MAC Softsparkled Eye Pencil in Iris Accents
  • MAC Pearlglide liner in Rave
  • MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde
  • Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers
  • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash Mascara

Painterly applied as base with flat e/s brush.  Devil-May-Care applied over lid with 239.  It’s A Miracle applied in crease and outer V with 222 brush.  Shroom used as a highlight, 272 brush.  Upper lashes lined with Iris Accents.  Lower lash line lined with It’s A Miracle, using a 219 brush, and Rave on the waterline.

Simple… lazy… bleh.  Haha.  I just know the MES will look so much better if applied wet, but that’s too much effort.  I wish the weather wasn’t so terrible, it’s making me lazy :(

Tomorrow I am heading into NYC to go to the pro store!!  Woo woo!  I’m a bit concerned, however… I want the brush toolbelt but I can’t find it listed on their site?!  I hope I can still buy one, my brush cup is horribly failing at holding my brushes and I also plan on buying about 6 more brushes tomorrow so I need the room and organization!

I also kind of want to run by the Make Up For Ever boutique and pick up a small eyeshadow palette.  Not that I need to depot a whole two shadows, but I love palettes!  Plus they sell nifty metal spatulas, and I’ve convinced myself that I need one for when I start pressing pigments.  I don’t think I’ll run by there, though, but I want to.  I think MAC is going to hurt the wallet enough :(
