    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.

It’s flash is really powerful, so I had to take today’s pictures without flash so they don’t look the best.

    I got this idea off of macmakeup.net’s list of eyeshadow combination.

    Face

    • MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium (109 brush)
    • MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Blonde (168 brush)

    Eyes

    • MAC Painterly paint pot as base
    • MAC Lotusland e/s all over lid
    • MAC Smoke & Diamonds e/s in crease
    • MAC Vanilla e/s to blend
    • MAC Shroom e/s under brow
    • MAC Powerpoint eyeliner in Grey Utility along upper lashes (I later darkened it up a bit with Black Russian Pearlglide liner, but after I took the pictures)
    • MAC Clear Brow Finish
    • Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers
    • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara

    Lips

    • MAC Fast Friends lipglass

    god those pictures look like crap!

    Also, I feel like lately that the makeup just isn’t “sticking” to me. I’ll apply, and then 15 minutes later it’s really faded??? I don’t know what’s up :( It’s getting disgruntling.
