    Time to go to the defense of Trax… what the heck is everyone’s problem with this shadow? It applies fine… sure, not as nice as a veluxe pearl finish one would, but it’s NOT that terrible. And it’s a pretty color? Yeah, I just don’t know. I have my faith in this shadow!

    Photo Realism Revisited

    Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

    Once again, another look off of my list of combinations to try! I haven’t played with the colors from the Photo Realism palette in awhile, either.

    • MAC Powder Blush in Prism

    Foundation applied with 109 brush, then Prism to cheeks with 168 brush.

    Eyes

    • MAC Painterly paint pot
    • MAC Greenstroke paint pot
    • MAC Grey Range e/s

    • MAC Photo Realism e/s
    • MAC Image Maker e/s
    • Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil in Stash

    Painterly applied as base with flat eyeshadow brush. Greenstroke paint pot applied over lid with flat eyeshadow brush. Grey Range then applied all over lid with 239, followed with Fresh Approach applied to the crease and a bit above with a 239 brush. Photo Realism with a 272 brush to highlight, and using a 219 brush, Image Maker applied under lower lash line. Stash eyeliner used on waterline.

    A look from a few days ago…

    Friday, September 4th, 2009

    This is what I did for September 2nd. Decided to use my new goodies from the “Love that Look” and “Makeup Art Cosmetics” collections that I have gotten recently.

    I think I’ve concluded that I suck at applying eyeliner *sigh*

    Face

    • MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium (109 brush)
    • MAC Redhead Mineralized Skin Finish

    Eyes

    • MAC Painterly paint pot as base
    • MAC Rated R e/s inner half of lid
    • MAC One Off e/s outer and crease
    • MAC Photo Realism e/s as highlight
    • MAC Full of Fuchsia Technakohl eyeliner on upper lashes
    • MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde
    • Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers
    • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara

    Lips

    • MAC Nice to be Nice lipglass

    I’m loving the Love That Look collection, as I tend to love the starflash shadows. I’m lucky I ordered Rated R when I did, as the next day it went out of stock online (and it’s out at my local store). Full of Fuchsia is out of stock online as well, and I got one of the last in the area at a store.
