    After work I went out with some friends, so I smoked out this look with some Urban Decay Zero liner on my lower waterline, and MAC Prrr lipglass.

I’m so use to bright colors and a dark, smoky look so I actually have to carefully think about my makeup when doing a professional look.

    Overall matte, kind of dull look :D

    I used my liquid foundation as my skin has just been horrible lately, so I figured better coverage would be good. I have NO idea why I am breaking out like I am. I scarcely use my moisturizer, and I’ve been using my cleanser since November. So I am not sure what is happening. I don’t know if I’m breaking out because it’s so dry being winter? Ugh…

    I also need new MUFE Lash Fibers like yesterday. Living so far away from a Sephora or MAC store sucks!!

    Yesterday I did a look using MAC Satellite Dreams and MAC Sketch, but I did not take pictures.

    ]]>     http://www.sushiblumen.com/2010/02/23/look-for-february-23-2010/feed/ 0     October 9, 2009 http://www.sushiblumen.com/2009/10/09/22/ http://www.sushiblumen.com/2009/10/09/22/#comments Fri, 09 Oct 2009 05:38:02 +0000 admin http://blog.sushiblumen.com/?p=22 I feel like this is something kinda unusual for me… It is something off of my list of combinations to try (though I did my own highlight/blend and liners). I like it, though! I kind of did a messy job (especially with the liner), so it’s not perfect looking, but I definitely think this is something I would do again, and in different variations with different colors.

    • MAC Vanilla e/s to blend out crease
    • MAC Solar White e/s to hightlight and in tear duct
    • MAC Powerpoint eyeliner in Grey Utility along upper lashes
    • MAC Pearlglide eyeliner in Black Russian on waterline
    • MAC Clear Brow Finish
    • Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers
    • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara

    Lips

    Bleh, I’m so dark under my eyes :( But… I am too lazy to put on a bunch of concealer, especially when I am not doing anything special. Hence my powder foundation – I don’t like to be all gloppy with products.

    Just a simple little look, had a test today in school so I was a bit rushed (Monday’s are always terrible of course!!)

    ]]>     http://www.sushiblumen.com/2009/02/23/february-23-2009/feed/ 0     Plumage!! http://www.sushiblumen.com/2009/02/10/plumage/ http://www.sushiblumen.com/2009/02/10/plumage/#comments Tue, 10 Feb 2009 21:29:15 +0000 admin http://blog.sushiblumen.com/?p=106 Is my new favorite color! :)

    Finally decided to try it out today, I love how well it blends and goes on. I had it in my Blue palette, but I think it fits in more with the Greens, so I’ll have to move it into that one.

    Face

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

    Eyes

    • MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
    • MAC Aquavert e/s all over lid, concentrating on inner half (139 brush)
    • MAC Plumage e/s on outer half of lids (139 brush)
    • MAC Orb e/s to blend out crease (217 brush)
    • MAC Brow Set in clear
    • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara

    Lips

    • MAC Elaborate lipglass

    I really like Plumage! Aquavert was a semi-weird pairing, but it needed up working out. I didn’t want to use one of my brighter greens (like Swimming or Bio-Green) because I thought it wouldn’t match very well.
