    I used an insane amount of shadows for this which I don’t think I really had to do, but oh well, got me using some stuff :) And still managed to take pictures before I applied my liner… a little too eager this morning to get going to the festivities!

    I LOVE Prrr lipglass, I can’t stop wearing it everywhere.

It applied as a very bright yellow gold on my lids, which kind of disappointed me since it’s a orange-y pink in the container. I won’t give up on it, though, still a nice product.

    I might have two version to this look, day and night. This is the day version. I am going out with friends tonight so I’m going to freshen up my makeup and maybe make it a bit darker. So the night version will be posted in a few days when I’m back!

    So that’s the “day version.” Hopefully I can create some sort of night version out of it :)

    Anyways, last post for a few days as I’ll be away from my computer!

    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 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!

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.
