    I rarely line my upper lashes, let alone with Blacktrack, so this was something different. Just felt that it was too plain and needed liner. :)

    This time around I’m swatching the eyeshadows in my “Pink” MAC palette! These are the ones that I’ve decided are “full” pinks. I have a “Pink-ish Purples” palette that I put other ones in that, to me, are not a full pink or a full purple color. Does that make sense? Probably not, but most people have unique ways of organizing their palettes to their personal tastes.

    MAC Yogurt Eyeshadow

    Swatching procedure: My skin tone is roughly a MAC NW20 (maybe NW15 since any tan is fading). Swatches are done over MAC Painterly paint pot to provide a base, therefore results may appear different on bare skin.

    Photos are taken in my bathroom of the shadows themselves under “Natural Light” bubs which mimic natural daylight. Swatch pictures were taken by a window with natural sunlight.

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.

    February 15, 2009

    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…
