Swatch of the Day: MAC Eye Liners
Saturday, December 12th, 2009
Time to swatch all of my MAC eye liners that are in pencil form! (Fluidlines to come later)
I don’t have a lot from MAC because Urban Decay has a hold on my eye liner soul with their 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils. But I have picked up some MAC ones here and there. I love MAC’s Pearlglide formula, and the Softsparkles are nice as well.

Swatching procedure: My skin tone is roughly a MAC NW20 (maybe NW15 since any tan is fading). Photos are taken in my bathroom under “Natural Light” bubs which mimic natural daylight.
I think I love purples…

October 23, 2009
Friday, October 23rd, 2009Decided to try out the shadows that I got last night. I should’ve been really smart and applied them wet because they would’ve looked a lot more vibrant, but I’m feeling a bit lazy! So another purple look for this week…
Face
- MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium
Foundation applied with 209. (See, lazy day!)
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot
- MAC Devil-May-Care Mineralize Eyeshadow
- MAC It’s A Miracle Mineralize Eyeshadow
- MAC Shroom e/s
- MAC Softsparkled Eye Pencil in Iris Accents
- MAC Pearlglide liner in Rave
- MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde
- Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash Mascara
Painterly applied as base with flat e/s brush. Devil-May-Care applied over lid with 239. It’s A Miracle applied in crease and outer V with 222 brush. Shroom used as a highlight, 272 brush. Upper lashes lined with Iris Accents. Lower lash line lined with It’s A Miracle, using a 219 brush, and Rave on the waterline.
Simple… lazy… bleh. Haha. I just know the MES will look so much better if applied wet, but that’s too much effort. I wish the weather wasn’t so terrible, it’s making me lazy 
Tomorrow I am heading into NYC to go to the pro store!! Woo woo! I’m a bit concerned, however… I want the brush toolbelt but I can’t find it listed on their site?! I hope I can still buy one, my brush cup is horribly failing at holding my brushes and I also plan on buying about 6 more brushes tomorrow so I need the room and organization!
I also kind of want to run by the Make Up For Ever boutique and pick up a small eyeshadow palette. Not that I need to depot a whole two shadows, but I love palettes! Plus they sell nifty metal spatulas, and I’ve convinced myself that I need one for when I start pressing pigments. I don’t think I’ll run by there, though, but I want to. I think MAC is going to hurt the wallet enough
Purple smokey eye
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009Ooo, I love it! Once again, another look off my super awesome list of combinations to try… which I will try to get posted as a page after I’m done adding all the stuff into My Collection page. Moving to a wordpress format has been so nice, I’m loving it! Definitely a lot more flexibility in layout and content.
Some thoughts…
1) 217 oh how I love you! I can’t believe I ever said I didn’t see the point in you on specktra.net!
2) It’s Parfait AMOUR not ARmour *smacks forehead* I just recently stumbled upon that discovery… can I claim it’s because French words aren’t my thing!? At least it’s not as bad as me calling Slip Pink “Pink Slip” for the past two years…
3) I wonder what my classmates think when I walk into class with makeup like this… Considering only a small fraction even seem to have mascara on, I wonder if I’m a sight to see with dramatic smokey looks for school…
Face
- MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium
- MAC Studio Touch Up Stick concealer in NW20
- MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Blonde
Foundation applied with 209, MSF with 268. Concealer applied under eyes and smoothed out with 194 brush.
Eyes
- MAC Painterly paint pot
- MAC Parfait Amour e/s
- MAC Stars N’ Rockets e/s
- MAC Beauty Marked e/s
- MAC Crystal Avalanche e/s
- MAC Pearlglide eye liner in Rave
- MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde
- Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers
- Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara
Painterly applied as base with flat e/s brush. Parfait Amour packed all over lid with 239 brush. Stars N’ Rockets swept into crease with 239 brush. Using a 217 brush, Beauty Marked was buffed into outer V and outer half of crease. Using a 272 brush, Crystal Avalanche was used as a highlight and in inner corners. Rave liner applied to waterline, and using a 219 brush, Parfait Amour applied under lower lashes.
Lips
- MAC She Loves Candy lipglass
*squeeeee* I love it. I don’t know why, I guess I didn’t expect it to turn out like this. Thank goodness for a 217 brush!
However, I can’t decide if the look needs some eyeliner on my upper lashes… I avoid lining looks as sometimes it ruins everything, but sometimes it’s needed. I just don’t know…
