Sushi Blumen

Finally the sun was out for the first time in who knows how many days, so I went for something bright. This is off of my “list of must do looks” that I have compiled. I think I really really like it! Yay!

Face

• MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium
• MAC Beauty Powder in Tahitian Sand
• MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Redhead

Foundation applied with 109 brush, then Tahitian Sand to the cheeks with a 168, topped off with the pinker side of the Redhead MSF with a 168.

Eyes

• MAC Painterly paint pot
• MAC Rated “R” e/s
• MAC Firespot e/s
• MAC Passionate e/s
• MAC Paradisco e/s
• MAC Shroom e/s
• MAC Pearlglide Liner in Black Russian
• MAC Clear Brow Finish
• Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers
• Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara

Painterly paint pot applied as base with a flat e/s brush. Rated “R” applied to inner corners with a 219 brush. Firespot packed on over lid with 239 brush. Passionate buffed into outer V and crease with 217 brush, blended with Firespot. Paradisco used to blend out Passionate above crease, with a 272 brush. Shroom applied as a highlight with a small shader brush. Using the 219 brush, I used Rated “R” to liner under lower lashes on the inner half, and then Firespot on the outer half. Black Russian liner then applied to waterline.

Lips

• MAC Valentine’s lipgelee

Some thoughts…. Passionate is terrible to work with. I dunno, I just don’t like the texture of it in the pan. Seems like it’s hard to pick up on a brush. But… when blended into something like today’s look, it’s really pretty.

I got a new MUFE mascara. Mine was about 7 months old and drying out so I sprung for a new one. At $22 a pop I try to avoid buying it too often, LOL!
