    I am not sure I need to use Dangerous Cuvée as a base, as it didn’t make a difference. However, earlier in the day I used it as a base for Hypnotizing for work, and it showed through very nicely. I love I Get No Kick as a highlighter, so happy with my purchase.

    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.

    Face

    • MAC Mineralize loose foundation in Medium

    Foundation applied with 209.  (See, lazy day!)

    • 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 :(

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.

    • MAC Painterly paint pot
    • MAC Parfait Amour e/s
    • MAC Stars N’ Rockets 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.

    1021closeup3*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…
