Sushi Blumen » Stately Black http://www.sushiblumen.com A MAC junkie's bad attempts at good makeup and more!

I think the whole Too Dolly palette hates me, so I’m returning the favor by hating it :(

Face

  • MAC Mineralize loose foundation in medium (109 brush)
  • MAC Fix+ (2 squirts)

Eyes

  • MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
  • MAC Too Dolly e/s all across lid (139 brush)
  • MAC Stately Black e/s in outer V (139 brush)
  • MAC Yogurt e/s in crease area (217 brush)
  • MAC Shroom e/s as highlight under brow (272 brush)
  • MAC Romping e/s under lower lashes (219 brush)
  • Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Zero lining upper lashes, blended with Too Dolly
  • MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde
  • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara

Lips

  • MAC She Loves Candy lipglass

The Romping on the lower lashes was an afterthought, really doesn’t go. Oh well. I’m giving up on the Too Dolly palette for awhile…

Or I was just having a terrible makeup day. Either way, I was cussing out Romping this morning in the bathroom. It’s terrible! Wouldn’t blend at all, just stuck in a big bright clump. Like WTF? Totally killed the look I was going for. Luckily, Stately Black and Too Dolly make up for the yucky Romping, and boring Yogurt. I didn’t think I’d like the Lucky Tom palette more… so happy I decided to buy it!

I have today’s and yesterday’s looks to post… minimal pictures because both were bleh days.

Face

  • MAC Mineralize loose foundation in medium (109 brush)

Eyes

  • MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
  • MAC Milk pigment all over lid (217 brush)
  • Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in 1999 along upper lash line
  • MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde
  • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash Mascara

Lips

  • MAC Fast Friends lipglass

Simple and sparkly. I was going out shooting for my photography class, so I kept it simple. One thing I realized is why I never owned a pigment before, and that is because they’re messy. I had fallout all over my face, I had to use one of my new MAC Wipes to clean it up. I even tap my brushes before applying, and that still doesn’t help.

Face – nothing!! Was in a rush!

Eyes

  • MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
  • MAC Yogurt e/s inner half of lid (272 brush)
  • MAC Milk pigment over the Yogurt (272 brush)
  • MAC Romping e/s outer half of lid *did not go as planned due to this e/s’s inability to blend/spread/whatever (239 brush)
  • MAC Too Dolly e/s lining under lower lashes (219 brush)
  • MAC Stately Black e/s a bit in outer V (239 brush)
  • Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in 1999 lining upper lashes
  • MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde
  • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash Mascara

Lips

  • MAC Lip Conditioner in Pink Fish

Looks OK in this picture, but with my eyes closed it’s a hot mess. I’m steering clear of Romping I think… I don’t know if I want to deal with it, when I have a blendable hot pink shade from Make Up Forever that I can use. I must say I am really disappointed…
